My mom went into a nursing home after breaking her hip, she has no interest in recovery, only wants to lay in bed all day. They insist she gets up for meals and currently is using a transport wheelchair. They are recommending she purchase a custom wheelchair. My sisters think it is a scam since it is done through the home and that we should just buy a pillow to make the chair comfy. I'm thinking that she might enjoy sitting up if she has a more proper chair. Are chairs different, Is a custom one better? I'd truly love some input.
They also mentioned getting a better mattress for the hospital bed I assume this will help her too?
