A fellow caregiver asked...
What is a power wheelchair? Not a Scooter or a Power Chair, but a power WHEELCHAIR? I am covered by my insurance only for the power wheelchair. Thanks.

Some of this is just semantics. My Mom got a power wheelchair (never used it, but, that's another story).It is a large, shiny, motorized wheelchair.. It may be called a "power chair" to sound nicer. It would not fit at the dining table. You may want to ask for dimensions, a picture or more clarification.
