(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 24, 2009 ) Around the country snow is melting, spring is coming, and people want to spend more time outside. That isn't always easy for elderly or disabled patients. They may have mobility issues making it difficult to get around on their own. Preferred Healthcare's disability scooters give back some of that mobility, letting patients enjoy more time out of the home during the warm spring and summer months with minimal assistance.

“It can be frustrating for the disabled if they feel too confined or reliant on others,” says Marilyn O’Rourke, owner of PHC & Associates, Inc. “If their only mobility issue is that they're unable able to walk on their own far, or at all, a disability scooter can offer welcome relief. With a scooter they'll be able to visit neighbors. They can ride to a nearby market to pick up a few groceries. They can even take the scooter for a ride around the block if they simply want to spend some time outside in the sun. Disability scooters make it easier for them to maneuver and get around than walkers and many wheelchairs."

Preferred Healthcare offers several kinds of disability scooters. They offer three or four-wheel models. They even provide travel scooters (which can be disassembled and fit easily into most car trunks) and heavy duty disability scooters. They also offer scooter accessories such as batteries, carrying bags, oxygen tank holders, sun shades, and covers for use on a rainy day. Scooters from Preferred Healthcare feature long cruising ranges and top speeds of 5-6 mph. While model capacities vary, some of the company's disability scooters can carry up to 650 lbs.

"While disability scooters can greatly increase the mobility of many patients, they're not for everyone," says O'Rourke. "Users must be able to sit upright unassisted, and they must be able to steer the scooter using its handlebars and operate the breaks with their thumbs."

Preferred Healthcare is a Medicare Licensed Supplier of mobility and patient aid products. They even file Medicare claims for qualified customers buying Medicare-approved products. Many mobility improvement products are available in addition to disability scooters. They also offer wheel chairs, walkers, patient lifts, lift chairs, ramps, and more with thousands of total patient care products available.
