Free three wheeled walker

northwest1965

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)

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.
