We're grateful to Elisa for explaining why she recommends Recare as a specialist wheelchair supplier: "They're honest; they give you an honest answer. You get the expertise."

Recare has supported Elisa for over 20 years throughout her wheelchair ownership journey, and we continue to do so.

She says: "Recare have a fantastic showroom; you are literally shown a huge range of wheelchairs from different manufacturers. You get to sit in them, see how they feel and find out what support the cushions provide... I never knew there were so many options!"

Wheelchair power add-ons can open up new possibilities for people who want to extend their mobility without changing their manual wheelchair.

From handbikes and joystick-controlled power units to wheel-mounted power assist systems, there’s a wide range of options available to suit different user requirements.

At Recare, we’ve seen growing demand for these solutions as wheelchair users look for a practical way to gain the extra assistance needed for longer distances or more challenging terrain, without moving to a fully powered wheelchair.

Our team can help explore the options through a professional face-to-face consultation at our Long Hanborough headquarters or in a client’s home, taking into account how the wheelchair is used, the individual's requirements and budget.

The Geo-Matrix™ wheelchair cushion range, available from Recare in the UK, combines advanced gel and gel/foam technology to provide pressure management, skin protection and lasting comfort for everyday use.

Ashleigh Hall, Rehabilitation Consultant at Recare, explains what makes the range stand out:

“There’s a full range of cushions, manufactured in Canada by Blake Medical, which are brilliant for pressure relief and shear reduction. The hybrid gel and foam cushions provide comfort and stability, as well as helping with temperature regulation, with the gel staying between two and three degrees below ambient temperature.

“They’re also great for vibration dampening, and the gel doesn’t migrate, so it stays exactly where you put it and where you want it to be.

“The pure gel cushions can go straight into the washing machine, and the range goes from lightweight active cushions to full postural correction cushions, and from children’s sizes to bariatric sizes.”

Key features include:
🔹 Easy to clean and disinfect
🔹 No risk of punctures or leaks, unlike air systems
🔹 Vibration dampening for improved seated comfort
🔹 Suitable for manual and powered wheelchairs
🔹 Durable, reliable and low-maintenance

When a customer's mobility equipment develops an unexpected fault, a prompt and reliable response matters.

A Recare customer recently experienced an unexpected fault with their mobility scooter seat. We visited the same day and took the faulty component back to our engineering workshop for repair. Alfie, pictured, returned the following day to refit it.

We were delighted to receive this 5-star feedback:
"I depend on my scooter for getting about and I was extremely pleased with the rapid response and excellent warranty repair which also meant that there was no delay in waiting for replacement parts. Thanks to all at Recare." - Anthony B.

At Recare, we know how important mobility equipment is to daily independence which is why good aftercare and ongoing support are an important part of the service we provide.

Specialist wheelchair seating can make a significant difference to comfort, posture, pressure management and everyday independence - but knowing where to begin can be difficult.

If you need advice, Recare’s Specialist Seating Guide is a useful starting point to understand the different options available, including:

• Moulded (bespoke) seating
• Modular (measured and adjustable) seating
• Off-the-shelf and made-to-measure solutions

The guide also explains the importance of a professional assessment and the role of pressure mapping, a clinical tool used at Recare’s Seating Clinic to identify areas of high pressure and design cushions/seats that help reduce the risk of pressure sores while maximising comfort.

At Recare, our approach includes an initial consultation, posture assessment, equipment trials, detailed recommendations, and professional configuration and handover.

Many of our customers come to us because they require more than standard mobility products available on the high street. Often they have researched online and are looking for advanced wheelchairs, powerchairs or power add-ons, along with specialist advice to find the right solution.

When we meet them, the conversation often extends beyond their immediate mobility needs. This is because we know what questions to ask to make an informed recommendation.

We take the time to understand how someone’s mobility needs fit into their wider life, asking about their goals, home environment, daily routines and any potential risks.

"I don't say this lightly; the service we have experienced from Recare is above and beyond. I understand they are a family-run business, and it felt like you were talking to someone you knew."
- Richard Packer, from Fraserburgh in Scotland.

We believe our depth of experience makes a real difference to our customers.

"I needed to rebuild my life and was determined to move again. Part of this process involved finding products to help."

Following an accident which resulted in paralysis, Tony started to regain movement in his hands and arms. He began exploring powered wheelchairs online that could support his mobility and help him stand, and contacted Recare.

Rather than leading with products, our assessment focused on understanding Tony’s goals, both for rehabilitation and day-to-day life.

Tony says:
"It was completely different to what I expected. Ray from Recare asked what I needed, how I lived and what I wanted to achieve... There’s no pressure; it’s about getting the right outcome for you."

Following the detailed assessment, Tony was recommended a Permobil F5 standing powerchair, configured specifically to meet his needs and goals.

What happens when you combine the Yomper+ wheelchair power add-on with the Skeed Wheels braking system?

As Ashleigh Hall, Rehabilitation Consultant at Recare, explains, the lightweight Yomper+ provides extra power to help manual wheelchair users travel further, reduce fatigue and shoulder strain, while the innovative braking levers built into the Skeed Wheels give greater control over speed, slowing down and stopping - without needing to grip the push rims.

Together, they can make longer journeys, higher speeds and more challenging terrain easier to manage for active wheelchair users.
