[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I wanted to get a seatbelt for my mother’s wheelchair so that I could take her more places — which would involve a few sidewalks with noticeable inclines. I was told about the rules against “permanent “ restraints. I think it’s possible to get a physician’s order for using restraints in some circumstances— to increase safety. I was heartsick that my efforts to give my mom more freedom were restricted by these rules which had been imposed with good intentions— but without reasonable flexibility. Is it possible to get a PT assessment backed by a physician to order better furniture to accommodate his present needs? Does the rehab have a social worker that you could talk with? Does your county or your Dad’s insurance have an ombudsman? Also Maryland. [/quote]
