Following a life-changing accident, Tony from Sutton Coldfield has been able to regain his mobility thanks to a sit-to-stand powered wheelchair from Recare.
After a stair fall in 2022 left him paralysed from the neck down, Tony - the owner and director of a successful furniture logistics business in the West Midlands - spent 9 months in hospital before returning home to focus on his rehabilitation.
Ray Wright, a Recare Trusted Assessor, visited Tony at home and took a consultative, person-centred approach. Rather than leading with products, he focused on understanding Tony’s goals - both for rehabilitation and day-to-day life.
Following a detailed assessment, Tony was recommended a Permobil F5 standing powerchair, configured specifically to meet his needs, which has become central to both his rehabilitation and his independence.
Tony says:
"I love it. It does amazing things. It allows me to stand up, lie down and do lots of other positions... So the after sales service is fantastic. They call in, if I need them to, to help me out. They don't just sell it and leave you. You're constantly in contact with somebody. Really happy with it."
