Guys we are thinking ahead to when our injured neighbor(Steve) comes home. My son John and some friends are building a temporary ramp down to the garage floor. They have already turned a room downstairs in the house into a bedroom for Steve. They already have a hospital bed and the other stuff need for care of someone with limited mobility. That includes a electric lift that will enable Carol to lift Steve in and out of bed by herself. It kinds of looks like a fork truck. LOL
We have an older church member that has an extra rough terrain four wheeler type of electric wheel chair for when Steve can get out and about but it is made for the rider to be setting up with his legs bent in a normal setting position.
What I am meaning is some type of powered chair that Carol can use to move him around in the house or up the ramp. He would need on that would hold both his legs straight out. He can set up. The powered one I have seen are more for people that can set with their legs down in a normal setting position. I am wondering about one the is more like a standard wheel chair but just with power assist or something.
Steve is much bigger than Carol is. He is not fat but he is over six foot and would be over 200 lbs. She maybe 5 foot 2 or 3 and would not break 110 LBS by much. So I think she will have issues getting him up a ramp into the house.
They made sure the ramp is at the correct slope. It has a switch back in it to keep the grade fairly flat. I just thought some type of powered chair would make it easier on them.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
