There are several different types of power chairs, each designed to meet a specific set of needs.
Lighter weight units can make transporting them in a car easier.
Some break down into several smaller pieces that are easier to handle, and can fit into a car trunk. Other chairs are larger and more suited to outdoor and “off-road” use.
Most chairs are designed to work well both indoors and outdoors.
New designs using a “mid-wheel drive” allow for use in much tighter spaces. Now, mobile home owners, senior housing residents, and others who live in somewhat confined spaces who previously were unable to utilize a traditional power chair or “scooter” can do so. A smaller turning circle
Provides maneuvering capabilities not previously possible such as turning into a bedroom out of a smaller hallway or the ability to turn around in the middle of the hallway.
Many seating options and other accessories are available to tailor the chair to meet your needs. Alternate driver control mechanisms are available if the traditional “joystick” hand control is not your
best option. Attachments are available to hold a portable oxygen tank.
For those who qualify, Medicare, state “Medicaids,” and other insurers will typically provide funding for
those with medical need. Contact us for more information or questions you may have in this regard
