I am looking into getting a wheelchair or transport chair to go to a place there is a lot of walking which I can not do. I do not have a lot of money to spend on one and to get it though insurance is a hassle. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get one that would be affordable but not a hassle. The place I would like to go does not have them for people to use. Thank you for reading this. I appreciate any help .
To prepare for my future, I bought two electric wheelchairs on my own. (Insurance won't pay.)
The first folded up weighing 26 pounds, cost $3,000 where I paid 12 equal monthly payments with 0% financing. I use a ratchet strap hooked to an overhead grab bar to raise it off the ground and push it into my van.
Last year I found a "heavier" one on Temu for $370.73. I keep it in my garage for MEDICAID to transport me to physical therapy and other medical appointments.
I have one (1) rollator to walk on the ground floor of my house, a second (2) rollator upstairs and another (3) in the basement. Plus I have a fourth (4) rollator in my car. I have a 26' ramp to my front door and a stair lift to the second floor. I have a laundry chute with two access points at both bathrooms. I carry clean clothes upstairs in a basket one step at a time. I also bought a walk in tub by Safe-Step last year with a HELOC loan. Now my goal is to stay out of a nursing home.
What are some affordable and low-hassle ways to get a wheelchair or transport chair for someone with MS who needs it for outings with a lot of walking?
