Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 Hi Don, In answer to you query, the Assistive Devices Program is with the Ministry of Health in Ontario. Do you live in Ontario? If so, there is an 800# you can call for information. It is 1-, or the infoline at 1-. I just received approval for my wheelchair, $10,000 plus and the Ont. gov't covers 75%. We can also access the Ontario March of Dimes for such things as retrofittinng your bathroom, kitchen, and vehicle (i.e. installing a lift in the van) up to $15,000. if you qualify (i.e. combined income of less than $51,000) As to what kind of chair I'm getting I'll just write what's on the order sheet.....Adult power base action arrow storm series, mid-wheel drive 8 X 2 casters, seat package ( must be top of the line cost $667. ), full length adjustable arm rests, footrests with adj. footplates, swing away controls, 2 24 gel cell batteries Mark 4, short base 14 X 3 foam filled rear tires. We live on a country side road so I'll be able to take it for a spin without any problems. Can't wait till spring. Just got my electric bed from the ALS society so I'll ride it till then. Scenery gets boring though. Take care God Bless ....Helen Koob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
