Nursing Homes are not required to provide electric wheelchairs and they generally don't. Independent Living Centers do allow motorized wheelchair. I would google, Centers for Independent Living (CILs) in your area for help and assistance. If your nursing home receives Federal Funding, they MUST be in compliance with ADA in allowing motorized wheelchairs. Don't Take No For An Answer.

I am in a nursing home and need a motorized wheelchair to be able to not be stuck in bed 24 seven because I am paralyzed from the neck down. The administrator says this facility is not equipped to have a motorized wheelchair. Because I never leave my room in this place, I have no idea what goes on outside my room but I just assumed they would have residents tooling around in their motorized wheelchairs. Apparently no one here has one. At the two other facilities I was in, people had them. I think everyone else here is completely demented because I am the only one here that uses a computer. Anyway I'm seeking information about how they can legally keep me separated from the medical equipment I need.
