Wheelchairs are one of the most commonly purchased items in UK care homes, used for transporting residents within the home, for outdoor trips and as a daily mobility aid. Where a self-propel version is available for a transit model, it is listed on the same product page — check product variants before ordering.

Transit vs self-propel

  • Transit wheelchairs — smaller rear wheels; pushed by a carer; lighter and more compact; most commonly used in care homes
  • Self-propel wheelchairs — larger rear wheels with push rims; resident propels themselves; suitable where resident has upper body strength

Choosing the right seat width

  • 16 inch — narrow; useful where doorway clearance is limited
  • 18 inch — most commonly specified in UK care homes
  • 20 inch — wider; check doorway clearance before ordering
