Attendant Propelled Wheelchairs

Benefits of Attendant-Propelled Wheelchairs 

Here’s why investing in an attendant-propelled wheelchair from Better Independent Living can significantly enhance your quality of life:

1. Ease of Use for Carers

Attendant-propelled wheelchairs are designed with carers in mind. The handles at the back of the wheelchair allow a carer to easily push and manoeuvre the chair, making it less physically demanding compared to self-propelled options. This ease of use ensures that carers can provide effective and safe assistance without straining themselves.

2. Enhanced Safety and Control

With an attendant in control, the user can feel more secure, especially in challenging environments such as crowded places, uneven terrains, or steep inclines. Attendant-propelled wheelchairs often come with additional safety features like handbrakes for the carer, ensuring maximum control and stability during movement.

3. Improved Comfort for the User

These wheelchairs are designed to prioritise the user’s comfort. They often come with padded seats, backrests, and adjustable footrests. The user can sit comfortably for extended periods, making them ideal for outings, medical appointments, or daily activities.

4. Lightweight and Compact Design

Attendant-propelled wheelchairs are generally lighter and more compact than their self-propelled counterparts. This makes them easier to transport and store, whether you’re putting them in a car boot or storing them at home. The lightweight design also makes it easier for the carer to lift and handle the wheelchair.

5. Versatility and Accessibility

These wheelchairs are highly versatile and can be used in various settings, including homes, hospitals, and outdoor environments. They provide an excellent solution for users who may not have the strength or dexterity to self-propel but still wish to enjoy the freedom of movement with assistance.

6. Cost-Effective Solution

Attendant-propelled wheelchairs can be a more affordable option compared to powered wheelchairs. They offer the necessary mobility support without the higher costs associated with advanced electronics and batteries, making them a budget-friendly choice for many families.

7. Social Interaction and Engagement

Having an attendant-propelled wheelchair can enhance social interaction, as the user is not isolated in their mobility. The carer and user can engage in conversations and activities together, fostering a sense of companionship and inclusion.
