Are you concerned about the safety and well being of a loved one who relies on a wheelchair for mobility? Every year, thousands of people suffer falls and subsequent injuries while attempting to get in or out of a wheelchair that is not properly secured. Safer Automatic Wheelchair Wheel Locks may be able to help prevent falls. We are committed to preventing falls and protecting and enhancing the safety of our elders. Whether it's to help a loved one live safely at home or to help protect a resident in a nursing home or assisted living facility, our patented wheelchair locking system can be an integral part of a fall prevention solution. Utilizing advancements in technology, combined with a program of overall fitness and rehabilitation, we can make our family members and loved ones “safer” so they can lead healthier and more productive lives. As always, consult with your physician to determine your care and treatment options and especially before initiating any exercise or rehabilitation programs.
