Where can I find disabled friendly holiday details for Yellowstone National Park?

Please can anybody give me some pointers on where to start investigating a holiday request for my parents?
They want to visit Yellowstone National Park and as they "can't drive the internet" I've been asked to try and help them plan their holiday
One parent is wheelchair bound and is completely dependent on the other, they will also be taking an additional helper as main carer cannot manage on their own.
So far I've been asked to find out about:
Flights (I can manage this bit easily enough)
Wheelchair friendly accomodation
A vehicle which will take a passenger in a wheelchair - the type where the wheelchair user doesn't need to be taken out of the chair to get in the vehicle
Hiring a portable hoist
Hiring a commode
Have found a useful guide on the Yellowstone National Park website with some good details about accessability around the park, but I'm stumped where to start looking into everything else
Please can anybody give me any idea of where to start?
Thanks

Neglecting most of this - there is the usual caveat that if you don't order a package holiday, then any costs if things don't go quite right may be down to you.
For example - plane diverts, and you can't reach your expected hire car destination/hotel.
See if there is a holidays board on here.
