he has been trying to get a motorized wheelchair, but has been turned down by the VA. He has asked to move down here with me to a small town where everything is 4 blox away, and that would be great, but I want him to be able to get around better. Does anyone know of a golf cart, or the like, that he could use with button controls?

dont take this the wrong way but my great grandmother lost both her legs from diabetes- i know it sounds harsh but a good old fashioned wheel chair is better-without your legs you lose motivation and exercise-a wheel chair will keep you and your heart healthy-ive known people who have legs and have the electric scooters-honestly for some they are great but others just turn into unhealthy blobs because there not gettin exercise and they become overweight and flabby-not good on a heart especially if your fathers older-my great grandmother lived to be almost 90 and had a healthy life and got around fine with a plain wheelchair-like i said dont take it wrong but once ya dont have to do much to move around ya lose exercise and also get depressed easy cause ya dont feel like you can do anything anymore-all ya gotta do is hit a joystick ya know-hope this helps
