In 1991, our new facility was complete on Palo Verde Rd., the space was needed so we could build and service vehicles for our ever growing customer base.

Our Mission

This mobility assessment and evaluation appointment is free of charge and can be scheduled at a time and location convenient to the client.Seldom is the application of adapted mobility aid services, products, or home and vehicle modifications the same for any two individuals.

With these parameters in mind A.D.E. will recommend and install the most suited equipment for the client's requirements.
