ALF rented but not used, is refund due

... in and out of the hospital, in rehabilitation when not in the
hospital, and never moved into the apartment. We did put her furniture
into the unit and, upon her passing, removed all the furniture. She
never took advantage of the various amenities offered at the facility.
She never ate a single meal there. The usual upfront costs were
requested: First month’s and last month’s rent and security deposit,
which totaled more than $12,000.

Companion chairs

information from http://www.mobility-advisor.com/transport-wheelchair.html

Companion chairs,

three major factors to take into consideration.
Chair Weight: These chairs are usually made from lightweight aluminum or steel tubing. Make sure the chair you select is easy to lift, fold and move into and out of vehicles.

Comfort: Transport wheel chairs are not designed for all-day use. Even so, it is important to find one that is comfortable. The most common seat width is 19 inches; though, many models are available in 22 and 24 inch seat widths. A cushion or pad can be used to make the chair more comfortable.

Maximum Carry Weight: Many heavy-duty models have the ability to support up to 250 pounds. Always check weight capacity before making your purchase.
