Free three wheeled walker

My mum has had 3 falls in 4 months. Dad has to arrange an appointment at the falls clinic.

She has a large 4 wheeled walker which we bought for outside use.

Would she be able to get a free 3 wheeled one for in the home? (The 4 wheeled one will not go down the hall and turn into the kitchen)
Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!

    The place to start would, I think, be to ask the GP for a referral to Occupational Therapy who will work out whether a 3 wheeled walker is the right thing for her, and also suggest other equipment which might make life safer and easier for her.
