Wanted - wheelchair


SueJ

Recommended Posts

Not sure if a wheelchair can be rented or preferably borrowed as I have been fortunate enough never to have needed one.

But now my father is very unwell and has a number of hospital appointments in the coming months. Waiting for a porter and chair in hospital is very time consuming and exhausting for him but not only that, they can only be used once there and not to help him from car to hospital entrance!


Can anyone please advise if they know of somewhere locally (or afar even) where we can rent one from or if someone may have one that folds up that we can borrow?


Bit of an ask I appreciate but would be ever-so-grateful if anyone could help or point me in the right direction please


Many thanks for taking the time to read


Sue

    • I'd like some of whatever you're having RD.....
    • Rather than making this thread political could people just realise that to the best of our knowledge this individual is still out and about in our neighbourhood. please stay alert and hope he gets taken off of our streets sooner rather than after someone else gets hurt.
    • We are currently de-cluttering so I regularly look at the “Wanted” section to see if someone is looking for something that I may wish to dispose of in the near future. I am amazed at the number of views for posts which appear not to have elicited a single response.  Some posts have zero responses despite recording between 1,000 and 2,000 views.  This far exceeds the number of views per individual item in the “For Sale” section.   Any suggestions?
    • I think a lot depends on how you will deal with school drop offs and pickups in primary school. If you’re going to have a nanny to do that then great, but if you’ll be doing that yourself you’ll need to factor the home -> school -> station timings. Our son went state (Belham and Charter East) which with wrap around care made the timings manageable. I don’t know if the private primaries have busses, so maybe it’s not so bad… Commute wise it depends where in the city you work. Thameslink is great if you’re near St Paul’s or Farringdon. Southern to London Bridge and then tube or bus (though I hate changing to the Northern Line at rush hour at LB). Or even for some places Windrush to Lizzie line, district line or walk (when I go to Bishopsgate I tend to walk from Shoreditch High St).    Choosing  a station with options helps with any transport disruption so Herne Hill of the places you listed. If you’re looking further afield, towards Denmark Hill has good connections and you can walk/cycle down Greendale to get to Alleyn’s or JAGs. You might also consider some of the streets near Warwick Gardens on the Peckham side, the Villa is a well regarded pre-prep and Peckham Rye station is well connected.  Good luck.
