Motorized scooter for the elderly
Hello everyone and happy new year . My mother in law is reaching a point where she needs a motorized scooter to get around in the assisted living facility that she lives in . We are going to talk to the staff for recommendations.
Can these be rented/leased vs outright purchased ? I think it makes sense to lease but that may be more expensive . I am concerned about service if needed and then having to sell it when no longer needed .
Any of you have thoughts on this based on real world experience ? She is 90 and can purchase outright if that makes the most sense . How do you determine what brand/model is a " good one " ? Do they make different voltage models ? What battery type to look for ? I am really out of my element here but want to help my wife make the best decision for her mom .
