My father is 88 years old and has undergone many major surgeries, so he is thin. He is of the constitution that does not gain weight even if he eats well. It’s a really enviable constitution, but I didn’t put it in. As I get older, I get thinner and thinner, so my older brothers who come home after a long time misunderstand. It’s perfect for mom and me to be misunderstood for not giving dad a proper meal.
Since last Thursday, my father suddenly refused to eat, saying that he had no appetite because his back and side stomach hurt. Old people get in trouble if they cut off the grain… My mother and I had an emergency. Even if I serve Seolleongtang, Galbitang, Bulgogi, and Yeong*tang (I eat it every year on Dog Day…), they don’t eat it after one or two spoonfuls. He said it was difficult to pass his throat, so I bought porridge, and he ate about 1/4 of the porridge. If my mom made porridge, she would be too hot, so I bought it.
On Saturday, my little brother and his wife came, and I told my little brother before and after my father got sick. Every morning, I exercised for about an hour, sweated a lot, and took a shower. Mom and I, the moment I hear my father talk 휠체어 무료 대여

If even young people do sports that they don’t like, their whole body hurts for a few days. My father is also a very sick person.
He goes to an orthopedic surgeon less than 10 minutes from his apartment, which took a whopping 30 minutes. After arriving at the orthopedic clinic, registering for treatment and waiting, the nurse brought a wheelchair after seeing my father having a hard time. My father’s complexion improved when he moved while sitting in a wheelchair.. Should I borrow it for a while when I go home? thinking
“My house is right in front of the apartment. Can I borrow the wheelchair for a while and return it?”
“I can’t use it on the road because the wheels are bad. I’m sorry. I heard that Gunbo lends a wheelchair for free…”
The editorial is getting longer to write about how to rent a wheelchair for free.
It was difficult to find it on mobile, so I went to the Health Insurance Corporation across the street. He said that the National Health Insurance Corporation wheelchair where I live is out of stock, and he told me how to find it. On the spot, I found a place in Seoul that had wheelchairs in stock and called and made a reservation. Unlike before, it was a bit inconvenient to make an online reservation, only to visit or call. Looking for a blog post, it seems to be due to frequent no-shows. I made a reservation for one Gangbuk branch incident report first, and then I contacted the Eunpyeong health center just in case, and they said there was one, so I made a reservation and canceled the Gangbuk branch incident report.
As shown in the picture below, you will receive a text message when a reservation is made for assistive devices. There is no delivery service, so you have to go to pick up the wheelchair yourself and return it yourself.
From now on, I will slowly tell you how to rent a wheelchair for free with pictures. In addition to wheelchairs, various assistive devices are rented free of charge, so the name of the institution is <Assistive Device Rental>.
Assistive device rental agency
1. National Health Insurance
2. Health center
3. Disabled Welfare Center
4. Community center
I looked for organizations 1 to 4, and the one systematically listed on the website was the National Health Insurance Corporation. When I searched the district where I live to see if the rest differs by region or center, there was no assistive device rental business.
On the homepage of Gunbo, you can find out the status of remaining assistive devices by branch and the branch direct number. It is very difficult to connect to the representative call center of Gunbo, so it is better to call the branch directly.

There’s a second step.
If you want to rent a wheelchair, you need to check the location that has a wheelchair and make a visit or phone reservation. I wrote it above, but I feel comfortable giving up the connection to the representative call center. So, I will also tell you how to find the contact information for the health governor
You can also find the contact information for the Health Insurance branch on the same page.
If you click on the rental business information in the Assistive Device Rental Business Guide, you will see the rental branch below. Hover your cursor over the rental branch to open the branch information page. You will automatically see <Directions>, and it is quicker to click on department information and contact information and call any phone number in the insurance benefit form to ask for a wheelchair rental reservation.
As I wrote before, there were no wheelchairs in stock where I live, so I made a reservation in another area, but it was a little far away, so I contacted the public health center. There was no category for assistive device rental on the health center’s homepage, so I contacted the call center. The call center connected me to a place that rents assistive devices among public health centers in my district, so I succeeded in renting a wheelchair.
2. Contact the local public health center
It was hard to find at my local health center.
3. Contact the Disabled Welfare Center
It seems that you should contact the welfare center for the disabled in your area. (I checked a few places, but they seem to rent, but I can’t find a rental method)
As a result of researching 4 places through the site, in my personal opinion, the National Health Insurance Corporation is the most well-maintained, and the other 3 places require time and effort. Among the contents of the phone call, the health insurance covers the whole country, but it cannot go to other provinces, so there is a high possibility of renting it in the same city in reality, and in the case of the public health center, it is only for local residents. I haven’t contacted the other two so I can’t compare them.
Free rental of assistive devices such as wheelchairs is recommended for short-term incapacity. Regardless of gender or age, if you need an assistive device for a short period of time due to a fracture or injury, it is good to use it when you can hesitate to spend money to buy equipment.
