Wheelchair to the car and back transfers are hard and sometimes unsafe. I know there are expensive options out there where you modify your car. I don’t have the money for that. Is there a cheaper option out there? I know about transfer boards. I’m just looking for another option. Anyone seen anything?
Too bad there isn't an insulated wheelchair hitch such as a side car for a motorcycle LOL!

Will this person improve?
Or is this injury/mobility permanent?
Could this person improve their upper body strength?
Or is this person frail & expected to become weaker & frailer?
My family didn't WANT to use wheelchair taxis. High cost, long wait times, mentioned feelings of embarressment too.
Didn't WANT to have to NEED it. But they do need it.

Also, Medicare will cover the cost if your primary care doctor will send a request to Medicare.
if your loved one is a vet, the VA will provide a battery operated one at no charge and they will deliver.
