Helping a Loved One
At Hoveround, we understand your desire to help your loved one take advantage of the opportunities an electric wheelchair affords. Often, people who are suffering from a lack of mobility are hesitant to admit they need help. The desire to get out and enjoy their favorite activities remains strong, but perhaps they are too prideful to admit they might benefit from a power wheelchair. They're reluctant to take the first step toward independent mobility.
That's where you can help. By coming to this Web site, you've taken that all-important first step for them. And sometimes, all it takes is a trusted friend or relative to show that a mobile lifestyle is not only possible -- it's ideal.
A study that was recently published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society shows that electric wheelchair use has increased more than 33 fold since 1994. As electric wheelchair usage becomes increasingly common in the United States, users are finding it more convenient than ever to get around in power wheelchairs.
It's not just your love one that benefits from their rediscovered independence. You are more confident in your loved one's ability to care for themselves in their homes and therefore less worried about them. You both have more time and energy to devote to your lives.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the various electric wheelchair and electric scooter models that Hoveround offers. Take advantage of the resources on this Web site and talk to your loved one today about the benefits an electric wheelchair or electric scooter offers. An active, independent lifestyle awaits your loved one. Let Hoveround show you how.
When it comes to making the life-changing commitment to a power wheelchair as a mobility solution, your job as a care giver is threefold:
- 1.
You must educate your loved one about the range of electric wheelchair & electric scooter products and services available. - 2.
You must discuss the available options with your loved one and make recommendations on which power chair or electric wheelchair is best for their mobility and useage needs. - 3.
As your loved one begins to integrate their electric wheelchair or electric scooter into their daily lives, you should be sure the company you select is available for long-term service.
