Frequently Asked Questions About Type 5 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)?
