My wife recently got this wheelchair - https://lith-tech.com/shop/lith-tech-sc-x-smart-chair-folding-electric-wheelchair-multi-terrian-lightweight-powerchair/ - £2350
We just had a new front door fitted with a minimal threshold so she can come and go as she pleases.
This has been a life-changing purchase. The independence she didn't realise she even wanted has been liberating. Hearing her go "I'm off out, see you later!" is mind-boggling after years of dependence on all travel outside the home.
We had a grant from the NHS for 80% the cost of the chair, and the new door was £1500. Worth every penny. I expect a US equivalent to be tens of thousands of dollars, likely completely inaccessible to us.
