We have a forum on our wheelchairforme.com website where people can post their experiences. From now on I will highlight some of the great life time stories people posted or which we experienced here at WheelchairForMe.comand comment on how we made that happen.

PeterG a satisfied Wheelchairforme customer wrote a short story in our forum which is a typical situation why it make sense to get a power wheelchair at an early stage. His dead felt badly and had to stay at the hospital for a few weeks. That could have been avoided by orderign a power chair at an earlier stage. It is a good question to ask how do you know when the right moment is to order a electric wheelchair for your loved one. We at WheelchairForMe suggested to listen to your instincts. If you spend time with your loved Dad or Mom or Grandparents just watch them and if you feel frightened that they might fall – you know you might want to take action before they actually fall.

At least start the process and get some info material as soon as you realize your loved one might be at risk to fall. We are power mobility device experts but it still will take two weeks to answer questions, work with your doctor and Medicare. Just start with ordering a free info kit by using our free power wheelchair matching engine and sit down with your loved ones and start the idea of getting a NO COST power wheelchair.

Do you think that the right way to go or do you think you rather wait until your loved one falls and the need is undeniable?

I have worked at numerous companies before this one, but this is the first and only one where I have felt good about what I do. Someone comes to our site and fills out our prequalification form or gives us a call and we talk to them and try to understand what their needs are. They may have just been injured or had a life changing event or just can’t get around anymore like they used too, and frankly just need some help. And we are in the enviable position of being able to do that by helping them get a power wheelchair. Case closed, someone that needed to be mobile is now mobile.

However, there are some people in our industry that are not helping people – who are in fact hurting people by making false promises and by taking money from the government. Now I won’t get into it here as it can get a little complicated, but we and our power wheelchair providers are able to try to get you a no cost wheelchair due to the government. It is no cost because either the government health plans are paying the cost or your insurance. You can read about it in our FAQ . Some people are taking advantage of the government’s generosity by making false claims to the government and saying that they delivered power wheelchairs to individuals when they did not or they delivered something that the individual didn’t want. Here are two cases over the past few months:

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/local/article/DUPEGAT23_20090223-183224/213698/

One company submitted $26 MILLION in fraudulent claims to the government. At a time like this with so many Americans out of work and in need of help, these people are taking money away from the government and leaving someone who thought they were getting a power wheelchair they desperately needed with nothing or a product they didn’t need.

That is why I am glad at WheelchairForMe.com we only work with trusted partners that we have worked with in the past. Our power wheelchair providers work with you to make sure you get the chair you need and deserve – and they deliver it! By working through WheelchairForMe.com you are not only going to get the help you need getting your power wheelchair, but you are also making sure you do not line the pockets of fraudulent wheelchair providers.

If you are coming to us from a bad experience elsewhere, please post about it in the comments section or forum so others can learn about it.
