Handicaped lift van needed?

Question

I work in a nursing home, and we are in need of a van with a wheelchair lift. Does anyone know how I would begin to go about learning how to obtain one through a charity or fund raising etc. Any help is welcome.

Answer 1

I would recommend that you start by contacting your local mobility shop.  They will not only be able to assess your nursing home's needs, but they should be able to point you in the direction of non-profit or government organizations that may be able to offset the costs of a wheelchair accessible vehicle.  To find your local mobility shop, go to the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) website:

That way you will know that they are reputable and certified.
