Best car/van for sick mom?

[wranglerboy]

hi guys..i would like to solicit your suggestions for the
best vehicle to transport my sick mom to nearby (2-5Km)
hospital in case of emergency? i'm using my Jazz as of
the moment, but it is already due for replacement (2006 model).
i'm thinking of replacing it w/ the kind that i can use for my sick
mom.
Thanks in advance!

how sick is she? is she big or small? can she walk and sit up straight, or does she have to be transported lying down?
my guess is, in the emergency you envision, she will have to be transported, lying down. kakargahin siya.
in which case, we are probably better off with an ambulance.
sir, have you inquired in the area, for ambulance service? some neighborhoods have one. they can be at your front gate in minutes.

[wranglerboy]

yes, i already coordinated w/ our bgy./health office for an ambulance.
they said their response tym is 5min. i'm only thinking my car as a back-up
in case they fail to arrive fast enough. i'm also considering the replacement
car/van for routine check-up & pasyal to mall & other places in case she gets
better.
she's around 5'4', petite, and can walk(slow) with assistance. But in case of emergencywe have to carry her to the car.
btw, thanks for the reply dr.d.

Budget mo TS?

[Walter]

Try looking at the Suzuki Ertiga, good ingress/engress height, wide rear doors.

About to say the innova, if budget will allow? Honda Odyssey

I agree. Ertiga. Swak lang ang height sa pwet. Sa innova may climb ng konti e

i'm checking out reviews of ertiga..seems nag price raise suzuki for 2016 model.

[ramones283]

Would you consider a used vehicle? A local 2nd hand nissan serena is a good pick, low stance, high ceiling , short wheelbase van, wide and easy ingress/egress.

[wranglerboy]

yes, i'm also considering 2nd hand. does serena have a phil. version?

Yes sir meron. AFAIK, local units are Gas fed while imported versions are Turbo Diesel. Well, anyone can correct me if i'm wrong. We had local serena before in our company, 2008 model 2.0 A/T gas.

[Walter]

Was the Nissan Serena ever released locally? Aren't those are converted imports?

No idea if those serena's are CBU from japan or built in sta.rosa. What i'm sure is nissan ph locally released this van from 2001 - 2013? I've seen a serena with 'U' plate.

Since you did not include having a wheelchair lift, you can choose from compact sedans to Innova like vans. Much important is the parking orientation inside your garage for easy access in case of emergency.

Perhaps you'd consider a used Kia Carens. Not very high that it would necessitate a climb and yet not low enough to necessitate stooping. You get car-like ride quality, lots of space and a frugal and powerful diesel engine.

Sir, medyo OT. Anong klaseng emergency ang hanap mo para kay mommy? Kung para sa high blood pressure (hypertension), I have a good advice for you. If your mom may have have attacks of hypertension, dont despair. May remedyo diyan which is not life threatening. I need your reply, asap.

[les888]

Just a added piece of advice just like our case why not apply for a 1 year unli ambulance service through Lifeline Philippines? Mom paid 3000 annually for all household in our home but we usually called their service for my grannies. Atleast they are trained to handle emergency cases.

Google their website for area of coverage and other rates not sure if its just individial 1,000 / annually and if a sick person is allowed to be covered.

Besides sorry if medyo may advertisement kunti walang pilitan were planning to sell also our Nissan Livina its like Mobilio and or Ertiga PM nalang for details.

I have the same predicament, my dad is in a wheelchair, can still stand up but with support and for a few secs only, so everytime he needs transporting, we use our innova, pero sobrang hassle pag tumatayo at lumilipat sa upuan. Sabi nila palitan ko daw ng previa yung innova kasi mas maganda ride at mas madali sumakay.

Si erpats din kasi kahit di makatayo di matis matengga sa bahay nababato

Not sure if this fits the budget, but this way, you don't have to change cars:

PBC Car Adapt, Incorporated

This company has an aftermarket swivel seat that swivels out of the door to allows easier loading of low mobility patients into the car. One model even lowers itself closer to the ground so you don't have to lift them up into the car.

Supposedly universal mount.

Of course, if you're changing cars, anyway, it might be a needless expense. Can't hurt to ask for pricing, though.

This is what we had on our Grandia to transport my grandfather before. Will cost you a few hundred Ks but it is a good system where you have a passenger seat and wheel chair in one so once the user sits down (from his bed presumably) he doesn't have to stand up and transfer to another chair all the way to his destination. When it's not in use and left on the vehicle, it's pretty much a captain's chair as well.
