Sonia, Hi! nancy (Angel/Pirch) here from the States. Sonia in the states we have Salvation Army consignment shops ( hospice, cancer, ones that benefit chronic and terminal illnesses), services for independant living (look under M.S., Spinal injury, faster progressive diseases for possible store or charity sources. A bath chair approx. 50.US dollars, used - free or 10 US dollars, bedside commode ( ugly silver ones that fit over the toilet or have a bucket), grab rails are covered Medicare expenses in the state I live in. Did u check with ur govt. about covering a bath chair?? Have u asked the local seniors? They tend to know people who have the needed items that aren't being used anymore. At first I could not ask my elders for services or info, I soon accepted that and that they are ALOT more reliable on the service jobs than middle age and young people! If at all possible get a chair with a back so u don't fall back loose ur balance while sitting. As for winnie walkers/rollators. Here are some urls that I had looked into earlier. http://www.valuemedicalsupplies.com/winnie.htm http://www.google.com/search?q=winnie+walkers The lowest I found on the internet was 220 US dollars. They are cheaper in the stores. Check into finding items at the drug stores. What are the names of them in Denmark?? Alot are putting these HH service depts in the regular drug stores now. Have u tried buying the floor model of the rollator?? Generally they are cheaper. Do email me please. nancy mailto:[log in to unmask] I find the 4 wheel one too heavy and my ankles hit the wheels. sometimes:) Heavier for the caregivers too. The seat is nice when visiting with others due to having higher eye contact. Conversing in a group is difficult when ur sitting on the sofa they are standing conversing.
