Hi All - I know there is a thread somewhere about renting a wheelchair and will do that if I cant find one - but just was wondering if anyone has a wheelchair in Basel they might be willing to lend me for a week Aug 21-28 so I can use it to assist my mother who is visiting. Thanks in advance

Ask the local Spitex http://www.spitexbasel.ch/

Will do - many thanks for the suggestion!

Cheap enough to buy one second hand, https://www.ricardo.ch/kaufen/buero-...v/an765856582/

Thanks so much! Though since she never visits - would rather not keep one if possible

FYI for those who might be looking - I found 2 places - one is Sanitätshaus St. Johann ( http://www.rehamed.ch/rollstuhle_standard.html) opposite the University Hospital (Childrens) and the other was rehamobil (http://www.rehamobil.ch/kontakt) which is near Schutzenmattstrasse bus stop (about 250-300m). The first had only childrens ones in stock and directed me to the second one. All were very helpful.

Rehamobil charged: 70chf for rental for a month, 30 admin/cleaning fee and 200 deposit. Because I wanted it for a short time they have a pro rata reduction - and for 5-15 days you get a 40% money back. Overall I paid 42+30 CHF.
