The Senior Wheels program of greater Cape Girardeau County will make available in 1998 power wheelchairs and three wheel electric scooters to senior citizens age 65 and up who need mobility assistance, usually at no cost for those who qualify. This service is also available to the permanently physically challenged of any age.
The requested item is delivered to the senior's home and instruction in operation is given if needed by the program case manager. To schedule a "mobility needs" visit in your home or for more information, call 800-211-6502.
