Supply of more than one Wheelchair

Wheelchair

More than one wheelchair is not normally supplied except if the client is a power chair user where a manual wheelchair as a 'back-up' wheelchair is provided.

More than one manual wheelchair may be supplied in the following instances:
  • A wheelchair is required both upstairs and downstairs, but there is no provision of a through-floor lift or other equipment.
  • The second wheelchair will be standard provision.
  • A glideabout may be provided for upstairs use where space is limited and a standard wheelchair would not be appropriate.
  • An alternative may be a glideabout commode or other equipment, accessed through home medical loans.
  • If a through-floor lift is subsequently fitted in the home the second wheelchair should be returned.
