Important Guidelines for Buying a Wheelchair in Vancouver

For buying a wheelchair in Vancouver, first consider the following:

• Do I need a wheelchair all the time or only occasionally?
• Do I need a wheelchair for indoor or outdoor use or both?
• Do I need to move the wheelchair in and out of the car?
• Do I want to use the wheelchair on rough ground?
• Will I need to be transported in the wheelchair, i.e. on a minibus?
• Is the appearance of the wheel chair important to me?
• Do I need a cushion? Do I need more advice on the correct cushion for me?
• Do I need any special features, e.g. quick release wheels?
• Do I need any special accessories, e.g. tray, rain cover?
• What is my budget?

You should now be able to identify which items are essentials and which of them are not. Also, A reputable supplier should carry out an assessment of your physical and practical needs and allow you sufficient time with the wheelchair to ensure that it suits you.

When buying a wheelchair, you need a supplier who can give you both honest and helpful pre-sales advice and information with efficient after sales service.

Choosing a supplier who can provide you with the best services:

• Supplier will ensure that they are of high quality and a good fit for your purpose. Their selling techniques will be ethical and they will deliver high standards of service.
• Any claims made by the company and its employees will be honest and truthful, and will not give rise to false expectations.
• Supplier will act at all times in such a manner as to build public trust and confidence; to uphold the good standing and reputation of the healthcare provider

Wheelchairs can initially be divided into two main categories: manual wheelchairs and powered wheelchairs.
