“Special needs call for special solutions”
Our County Council has a number of vehicles on hire from Fleximobility, for a variety of different situations like care homes and day centres and also some more personal mobility solutions.
“The needs of our residents change constantly, so it was a nightmare forecasting our transport budgets.”
“When residents change or current residents own needs change, it can be difficult to ensure the correct transport is available.”
“My sister spent a day researching WAVs on the Internet and suddenly thought she was an expert.”
“We had countless arguments over specs and price, but neither of us really know what we were doing. The stress of being told Nan would need a wheelchair was just the half of it – it also caused conflict within our family.”
“After John’s accident, it felt like I had hundreds of extra responsibilities. I could feel the stress increasing.”
“Of course I felt sorry for John, and I could see that he felt guilty having to rely on me for everything. Being a busy carer, I didn’t have time to fully research the market and had little WAV knowledge.”
