(In other words, they are keeping people in wheelchairs to keep them "stationery" on one floor or in one area of a nursing home. People wait for hours and hours --to be transported from one floor of a nursing home to another floor --simply because they claim there is no staff to transport them. These wheelchair people are "able" to wheel themselves but they are still not permitted to go to another floor. (Some floors have recreation and some have physical therapy). By these archaic policies of making wheelchair people prisoners on each floor of the nursing homes, the administration and the owners of these nursing homes are limiting the rights of nursing home residents. Please think twice and three times before you ever agree to go into a physical rehabilitation and care center or nursing home because you might just become a prisoner in there. If you must go there, examine the places before you sign any contracts. Once you see many people line up in the hallways or lined up in the lobby, you know that is not the best choice for your lifetime, UNLESS you are hoping to spend the rest of your life --waiting, and waiting and waiting and then finally, waiting, for someone to wheel you to the lobby, the activities room, the recreation room, the soda machine. Stop the waiting --by examining these facilities first---before ever going there to live or to stay there temporarily. Please join us in our campaign to stop the use of wheelchairs "as restraints", throughout America. Contact us and we will put you in touch with many who are leading the way to change nursing homes and to change physical rehabilitation and care centers, for the better. That is one link to our site. Click there and then search for any applicable articles about wheelchairs and about wheelchairs-as-restraints. There is a nationwide campaign (began ten months ago), to have everyone stop using wheelchairs-as-restraints. Please promote this material when you advertise your wheelchairs so that we know you are one of the good companies that are truly interested in your customers' needs.

My daughter has an MPV 5. The footrest can be raised up however, she is unable to do it while she is sittig in the chair and me, with a back problem, makes it difficult for me to reach down to raise it up for her to get out. It would be wonderful if there was somekind of mechanism attached to the footrest that would bring it up automatically for a person to be able to exit the chair without having to step on the footrest to get out. You may contact me at my place of work if you wish at 573-471-0600. I just had a thought about an improvement on your chair. My daughter has an MPV 5.
