tell the old lady to ask her doctor he or she would know where to get help to hire or loan of a walker,I think the red cross may be able to help

but that picture shows the price of $149 that is cheap

The Government may supply one if she is on the pension--I know they used to

Aldi have them at the moment (I am sorry I cannot remember

the price but know it seemed cheap).

..

Aldi really do sell a myriade of things (to be honest I get a tad

annoyed they do not sell more foods) BUT still love em and

save heaps.

All the best

Thanks for the comments.



Ended up helping her out a bit because the ALDI offer wouldn't last and it looked like a quality product. Besides she has just been ripped apart by ramped up utilities and rates bills (for the Gold Coast City Council's social welfare for developers and other entrepreneurs).



Being self-funded and fortunate in health, my knowledge of the support available is limited. From making a few phone calls though I can say that either government departments are deliberately trying not to give out information or they have no interest in training public servants in public contact roles because unhelpfulness and duck-shoving are the order of the day.

Sorry I did not look, but see it was

Aldi you were speaking of. :red:

Not to worry I did not kill anyone :)

Hope the lady gets a good walker.

...

My Mum-in-law always said IF one day

she required a walker would have one. Now at nearly

99 having broken her hip but hopefully will walk again

(we are still praying she will) Mum will have a walker.

All the best

Phyl,



No worries and thanks for taking the time to comment.



The walker will allow her confidence and a rest in her life habit of 45-60 min walks with her dog at 5,00am every day. In all but heavy rain too!

Sorry to be a bit late with my answer, I have just aquired a walker after being in Hospital.

In Qsland here, I was visited by the lovely folk at OzCare,who asked me did I have a walker,when I said no I was surprised by the answer, It seems if you are over 75 yrs old,& disabled, you are entitled to a free walker.

It seemed to be too good to be true, anyway, the gentleman went away & two hrs later delivered to me a topline ,new walker at no cost. All I had to do ,apart from being over 75, was to fill in a form. Amazing !

I hope you are doing o.k. now Tweety?

..

Good on you getting a nice new walker - there must

be many things people do not know about. SO many

things are word of mouth.

If a person needs a walker it must become a good friend as

it is so important as we get older to have independence

and a walker must do this for many people

like having as I said a friend when in need.

Nautilus Aldi are very good taking things back with a receipt

so maybe your friend will be able to do this and get the money

back and receive a free good quality walker.

All the best

Phyl.

Phyl and tweety



Thanks for your valuable comments and for caring. I did mention the possibility of a free one.
