Safety and comfort are paramount when selecting an attendant or self-propel wheelchair.
Independent Living Consultants has many years experience of identifying products which provide maximum comfort and safety for both user and attendant alike.
Whilst large wheelchairs allow the user to self-propel and gain a degree of independence, the users of small wheeled chairs, or transit models, are totally reliant on the attendant, whose own needs and abilities must also be part of the assessment process.
Our attendant chairs are very light in weight and have brakes mounted on the handlebars to give the attendant maximum control when manoeuvring.
Most models can be 'transformed' into powered chairs by the simple addition of a small motor designed to take the strain out of pushing.
Immobility when using a wheelchair can make the user vulnerable to cold, especially during the winter months.
A wide range of clothing and accessories are available from Independent Living Consultants to keep you snug and warm when indoors. View some of the accessories we have available here
Wheelchair assessments can, at your request, be carried out in your own home environment by a fully trained member of the Independent Living team.
Remember - we are here to assist you in making appropriate choices for your own specific needs.
