Where can we hire a wheelchair from?

Hi flintstones 7 in locality the Red Cross loan out wheelchairs, I hope this helps.

Hi @Flintstones7

Welcome to the community

If you would like to tell me the nearest town or city to where your sister lives I could try to identify somewhere for you.

But also if your sister has significant walking difficulties as a result of Parkinson's she may well be able to get permanently allocated manual wheelchair from the local NHS wheelchair clinic, her GP can refer her there.

On the Scope website there is a section of information specifically aimed at people who have recently become disabled:
https://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/becoming-disabled/overview

There is also information about wheelchairs on the Parkinson's UK website: https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/information-and-support/equipment-help-you-get-around

Hi @flintstones7

The Red Cross has been mentioned a couple of times, they don't actually have national coverage but if you want to check your local area here is the appropriate link:

From experience, there are dozens of better alternatives, so try anything first , to avoid redcross.    Only manuals were available,  and apparently made out of cast iron !    Two hefty men to lift it into a car , so no problems , as long as you have a full time staff of weightlifters.
