[quote=Anonymous]They might pay for one, chances are it will be heavy and cumbersome. If you can afford your own this is one area it pays to just buy the better chair that you can actually move. Keep him mobile as long as possible, even if the Walker is hard use it whenever you can. I know that’s not always the case but encourage him to walk on the good days. Even a cane can be a huge help. We use variations of cane, Walker, rollator, and wheelchair. You might also look into a hospital bed of mobility is quickly declining. If this isn’t a long term situation you can often rent medical equipment. Think ahead to what you’ll need next- if you get a wheelchair will you need a transfer chair for the shower? What about handicap accessible toilets? Bars next to toilet for grabbing. Bedside toilet? [/quote]
