Frequently Asked Questions About Type 1 Wheelchairs
What is the difference between a power wheelchair and a mobility scooter?
Power wheelchairs offer better positioning options, can navigate tighter spaces, and are suitable for those with limited arm/hand function. Mobility scooters are better for those who can walk short distances and need assistance for longer travel. Power wheelchairs are often more appropriate for all-day use.
Are power wheelchairs covered by ADP?
Yes, power wheelchairs are covered by Ontario's ADP for eligible individuals with long-term mobility disabilities. Coverage is up to 75% of approved costs. Westin Healthcare is an authorized ADP vendor and guides you through the entire application process.
How do I choose the right power wheelchair?
Consider your daily activities, indoor vs outdoor use, seating needs, and any special positioning requirements. Power wheelchair options include standard, compact, folding/travel, and heavy-duty models. Westin Healthcare offers assessments to match you with the right chair.
How long do power wheelchair batteries last?
Quality power wheelchair batteries last 12-18 months with daily use, or longer with proper care. Battery range per charge varies by model but typically covers 10-25 km. Always charge nightly and avoid complete discharge to extend battery life.
Can power wheelchairs be transported in a vehicle?
Yes, but methods vary. Folding/travel power wheelchairs can be disassembled and placed in a car trunk. Larger power wheelchairs require vehicle lifts or accessible vans. Westin Healthcare can advise on transportation solutions.
What is the ADP (Assistive Devices Program)?
The Assistive Devices Program is an Ontario government program that helps people with long-term physical disabilities pay for customized equipment. ADP covers up to 75% of the cost of approved devices like wheelchairs, scooters, hospital beds, and patient lifts.
Is Westin Healthcare an authorized ADP vendor?

What equipment is covered by ADP?
