Dwellability

Home Sharing for People with Disabilities, By People with Disabilities. Dwellability started as an idea between two friends with disabilities over a cup of coffee. Why did it have to be so hard to find a safe, appropriate place to live or visit? Who We Are We dreamed about creating a way to connect people across the full spectrum of disability because as a community, we know we are a powerful force, but society simply isn’t meeting our housing needs. So,we started working on Dwellability as a solution forconnecting people who need a home with those who have space to share. Pretty simple, right?

Which wheelchair is easiest to push? These are the three things that determine how easy any wheelchair is to push. First, the type of wheelchair. Secondly, the way the chair is set up. And finally, the tyres. An active user wheelchair will give you much greater pushing power than a basic chair. What is an active user wheelchair? An active user wheelchair is one that a person who can self-propel uses. They are lightweight and manoeuvrable. There are many different makes, models, and styles. You can personalise most of these chairs so that they fit your body perfectly. This is most important in determining which wheelchair is easiest to push. You must take careful measurements of your body so you can order your chair to meet your exact size and shape. Seat and backrest heights and widths can vary, as can the size of the frame and the wheels. A made-to-measure customised active wheelchair will give you far greater pushing power, comfort, and safety than a standard one-size-fits-all chair.
