Life's a beach

Our Nightingale Hall Care Home Home Manager, Mike, has been having a sneaky go on our brand new beach easy and all terrain wheelchair this morning. Here at Wellburn, we constantly want to push the boundaries in regards to the trips that we offer our residents, and want to provide them with the opportunity to experience the great outdoors as much as possible!

The custom made wheelchair has very large rounded tyres, which helps it to glide across the sand and different terrains more easily, meaning it can get right up to the sea and in the shallow waters at the beach. This chair will be the first in the North East and we’re really looking forward to being able to enjoy the beach, and usually more difficult destinations, even more with our residents across our homes!
