I made some changes in my new chair’s configuration compared t…[Read more]

Either will probably meet the need.  But, I believe iPhone is truly the best solution for anyone needing Assistive controls.  Apple seems to truly have a keen eye on building their products to help the disabled community.  Checkout this video from Apple marketing the upcoming release of iOS and MacOS for their iPhones, iPads, and MacBook co…[Read more]

I have not seen that one before.  But, based on the picture, it is definitely aesthetically pleasing.  The large wheels may make it difficult to negotiate tight spaces. I have used the Invacare Mariner Shower Chair for many years. It folds up easily and travels well. h…[Read more]
