Frequently Asked Questions About Refurbished Wheelchairs
What types of wheelchairs are available?
+
We offer a complete range including: manual wheelchairs (standard, lightweight, ultra-lightweight), power wheelchairs (indoor, outdoor, all-terrain), transport chairs for caregivers, and specialty wheelchairs including tilt-in-space, reclining, and bariatric models for various mobility needs.
Does ADP cover wheelchairs in Ontario?
+
Yes, the Assistive Devices Program covers wheelchairs for eligible Ontario residents with up to 75% funding. Both manual and power wheelchairs qualify. You need an assessment from an authorized vendor like Mobility Specialties. We help with all ADP applications.
Do you offer wheelchair rentals in Toronto?
+
Yes, we rent manual and power wheelchairs daily, weekly, or monthly with free delivery throughout Toronto and the GTA. Rental is perfect for temporary mobility needs, travel, or trying before you buy.
How do I choose the right wheelchair size?
+
Wheelchair size is determined by seat width, depth, and height. We measure you to ensure proper fit - a wheelchair should support your thighs without pressure behind the knees, and the seat width should leave about 1 inch on each side. Proper sizing prevents pressure sores and improves comfort.
What is a tilt-in-space wheelchair?
+
A tilt-in-space wheelchair tilts the entire seat and back as one unit while maintaining the hip angle. This redistributes pressure, helps with positioning, and improves comfort for users who spend extended time in their wheelchair. Ideal for those at risk of pressure sores.
How long do power wheelchair batteries last?
+
Power wheelchair batteries typically last 1-2 years with daily use. On a full charge, most power wheelchairs can travel 15-25 km depending on terrain, user weight, and battery size. We recommend charging overnight for best battery life.
Can power wheelchairs be used outdoors?
+
Yes, many power wheelchairs are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Outdoor models have larger wheels, higher ground clearance, and more powerful motors for uneven terrain. We help you choose based on your primary use environment.
What is the difference between a transport chair and wheelchair?
+
A transport chair has small wheels and must be pushed by a caregiver - it cannot be self-propelled. A wheelchair has large rear wheels that the user can push themselves. Transport chairs are lighter and more portable, ideal for appointments and outings.
Where can I buy a wheelchair in Toronto?
+
Mobility Specialties is your trusted wheelchair store in Toronto and the GTA. We carry manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, transport chairs, and specialty seating. Visit our Mississauga showroom to try before you buy, or call for free delivery throughout Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and surrounding areas.
What is the best power wheelchair for outdoor use in Canada?
+
For outdoor use in Canada, we recommend power wheelchairs with larger wheels, higher ground clearance, and weather-resistant components. Popular outdoor models include the Quickie Q700, Permobil M3, and Pride Jazzy. All-terrain power wheelchairs handle snow, grass, and uneven surfaces common in Canadian winters.
How much does a power wheelchair cost in Ontario?
+
Power wheelchair prices in Ontario range from $3,000-$15,000+ depending on features. Basic indoor power chairs start around $3,000. Mid-range chairs with outdoor capability cost $5,000-$8,000. Advanced rehab chairs with tilt and recline cost $10,000+. ADP covers up to 75% for eligible Ontario residents.
Does OHIP or ADP cover wheelchairs in Ontario?
+
ADP (Assistive Devices Program) covers wheelchairs in Ontario - not OHIP directly. ADP pays up to 75% of manual and power wheelchairs for eligible residents with long-term disabilities. You need a prescription and assessment from an authorized vendor like Mobility Specialties. We handle all ADP paperwork.
Is there an income limit for ADP?
+
No, ADP has no income testing. All Ontario residents with a valid health card and qualifying disability are eligible regardless of income. The program covers 75% of the cost for all qualifying applicants.
How often can I get new equipment through ADP?
+
ADP has usage periods for each equipment type. For example, wheelchairs have a 5-year usage period, walkers 5 years, and hospital beds vary. After the usage period, you may qualify for replacement if there is continued medical need.
Can I upgrade my ADP equipment?
+
Yes, you can choose features beyond what ADP covers and pay the difference. For example, ADP may cover a basic power wheelchair, but you can upgrade to a model with more features. You pay 25% of the approved amount plus any upgrade costs.
What documents do I need for ADP application?
+
You need: 1) Ontario Health Card, 2) Prescription from your physician stating medical need, 3) Assessment from an authorized ADP vendor like Mobility Specialties. We guide you through gathering all required documentation.
