What is WHEELED MOBILITY?

WHEELED MOBILITY

With more than five years of experience and a passion for helping our clients make their lives better, our female- and the veteran-owned company is all about restoring mobility in ways that make sense. When it comes to mobility aids, we offer:

SEATING AND WHEELED MOBILITY

More than 3.6 million people in the United States depend on a wheelchair, scooter, or other mobility aids to engage in the activities of day-to-day life. When we work with clients, we perform recommendations for durable medical equipment (DME) which can withstand repeated use and complex rehabilitative technology (CRT) which optimizes environmental access. The end result is finding mobility aid equipment that will be of the most benefit in a person’s environment

DRIVING AND TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES
Mobility can be an integral part of a person’s well being, but if driving is no longer a safe option, individuals can experience isolation, depression, and decreased participation in meaningful activities. We start by evaluating our client’s performance skills and compare them to the demands of driving. From there, we can assist with alternate transportation options, make recommendations about equipment and strategies, and more.
