My wife has had a fall from a spiral staircase and suffered a double fracture of her leg and arm .When she leaves hospital we will need the use of a wheel chair ,simmer frame and all the bits and pieces required to look after her at home .Does anybody know if the items can hired on a monthly basis as I am hoping they will only be needed for a short time .We are in the Paphos area. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lefkes, hope she soon gets well and on the mend, I dread falling as I get older, so easy to do here, lack of decent pavements and other obstructions...

The UKCA club has various medical equipment for hire - I am not sure when the ladies who arrange this hire are on duty but I can enquire for you if you wish - otherwise just c all the club and they will be available to advise.
Hope your wife soon recovers.
Regards
Rita

Re my earlier post the UKCA club telephone number is 26 952 470
However the Welfare people are on duty Tuesday and Thursday between 12 noon and 1pm.
Welfare Person is Liz Watson and telephone number to pre book equipment is 99744936
If you go into the UKCA Web Site scroll down to bottom of the page and click on "Welfare" (far right hand side) This gives one all the details plus cost of hire of various equipment - wheelchairs amongst them.
Hope this helps

You will find ( from my experience) that to hire from the shops is quite expensive... Check the prices out before committing
