I'm leery about asking on here, but I'm not sure where to research without encountering someone wanting to sell me something or make a big deal of it. II'm looking for info on the nut/bolts of shopping for them, not necessarily a reference to salesman or dealership
Wife in/out of wheelchair for last five years - I'm not optimistic we're looking at her driving again. Many medical appointments throughout the week. I'm retired and can do her transfers and load up the chair/legs in trunk. I'm pretty beat-up myself (disabled vet - handicap plate is for me) but I still try to be her superstar.
This is the part where someone recommends Brazos Transit. However,...
My parents are up in Robertson County (Calvert). Mom uses a walker and Dad is non-ambulatory. Loading/unloading them is adventurous. Brazos Transit does not go up there.
I would like to help wife and parents with a vehicle that has a ramp.
I started looking at small wheelchair vehicles and wanted so see if there is anyone that has recently done this and can share lessons learned. These vehicles are "not inexpensive," and assess I'll have to get creative to make it happen.
Of note the VA said I am not eligible for assistance since both of my legs are intact and recommended I reach out to a church for help. I love our church and am not going to do that. No biggie - the VA has its hands more than full. I'm just looking to navigate this "new to me" mission and not ....get taken for a ride. Thanks in advance for any pointers!
