On admission our Occupational Therapy department will assess each resident to determine their need for a mobility device that includes a wheelchair or walker. The facility may or may not at the time have loaner equipment available for temporary use. The Occupational Therapist will work with the resident and their family on ordering equipment through Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL) or provide information on other vendors where you may purchase or rent equipment. If the resident owns their own walker and/or wheelchair, the Occupational Therapy department will assess and determine if it remains appropriate for your loved one to use.
