Life Changing

Lifestyle Mobility in Thanet. James was wonderful.. He helped me through the process of learning how to control the Sunrise Powerchair. He was friendly, patient and professional in all aspects.
He is a asset to the company. Thank you James.

Really great experience

Peter from Lifestyle and Mobility came out to do a service and change the batteries on my powered wheelchair. He was a lovely guy, really personable and helpful. He ran into some issues with my chair, but he kept problem solving until it was all working properly and he also made some adjustments so that the chair fits me better. All in all, I think he went above and beyond!

Wrong size measured for wheelchair and request to change it ignored

I wrote this review a while ago and was asked to take it down, and I did so thinking that the issue would be resolved but it has not been and is clear now it is not going to be which is incredibly disappointing. I bought a wheelchair through this company with my NHS wheelchair budget, but it was measured incorrectly and is too big. When I asked for this measurement to be changed in line with what the NHS has recommended, my email was ignored and by the time it was responded to, it was too late to change as the chair was being manufactured. I'm stuck with this now for another 4 years with a wheelchair that doesn't fit correctly and rubs into the back of my legs, with my feet not comfortably sitting on the foot plate. I cannot afford to replace it so this is having a big impact on my life. It's fine to ask someone to remove a negative review if you are going to resolve the situation, but there has been zero solution or resolution offered. I wouldn't recommend Lifestyle & Mobility and wish I had used a different company.

Hello Mrs Higginson,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for us. It is delightful to learn that Lenny made choosing and receiving your Quickie Nitrum straightforward and comfortable.

One of the key purposes of our home assessments is to ensure that every chair is tailored to the individual user. So it is music to our ears to learn that Lenny was so careful in discussing your needs, personalising the setup, and thoroughly explaining everything during delivery. It is also good to learn that you found it helpful to have the RGK FrontWheel demonstration.

We shall be sharing your kind and generous comments with both Lenny and Vicki.

Last, but not least, we very much hope that you enjoy your new wheelchair!

Great service

Bought a new self propelling wheelchair for my daughter, Lenny came out to us and talked through her needs and helped decide model, sizing etc, was very thorough. Again when came out for delivery Lenny was incredibly helpful and attentive to make sure it was set up just right for her. Fantastic service, would highly recommend.

amazing company with amazing wheelchair assessor Richard

Such an amazing company and a huge thanks to my wheelchair assessor Richard Chiassaro. I did have a few issues at first with my wheelchair and another assessor (who’s no longer there) but thanks to Richard and the lifestyle and mobility team this all got sorted quickly. Richard’s been particularly amazing, helping me sort out problems with my chair that were overlooked by the other guy, chasing things, helping me with fitting a front wheel ready for the 2027 London marathon and helping adjust my chair to make it more suitable after having back surgery. He’s amazing, if anyone needs a whee Assessor ask for Richard.

Speak to Richard!

I would highly recommend a Lifestyle & Mobility Harlow staff member Richard C, from day one a few years ago, Hayden my son would always come into store with his grandad and Richard would always be there and race him around the store in his chair :).

Now when Hayden got other to take part in the London Mini Marathon, Richard invited him to train with him at Harlow Wheelchair Racing Club, from this Richard see that his chair was not right for Hayden and we have worked with Richard now and ordered his new day chair, Hayden cant wait to be zoom around in it :)

Cant thank you enough Richard for helping support Hayden and also putting us in contact with MakeWay Foundation :)

Hello John,

Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely review and for recommending Richard from the Harlow branch of Lifestyle & Mobility. It is truly wonderful to hear how his relationship with Hayden has grown over the years—from those early races around the showroom to supporting his journey into wheelchair racing.

Richard will be thrilled to read your kind words. His dedication to understanding Hayden’s individual needs, helping him find the right new day chair and connecting your family with the MakeWay Foundation reflects the personal support we aim to provide to every customer. He really is a credit to the company and sets high standards to all those who are lucky enough to work alongside him.

We are so excited for Hayden to receive his new chair and start zooming around in it! We wish Hayden every success with his racing and many brilliant adventures ahead.

Here’s hoping that Richard and the rest of the family here at the company get to play a part in his bright future!

I genuinely cannot speak highly enough…

I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of Lifestyle and Mobility, and in particular Richard, who has gone above and beyond for our family from day one.
Making sure my son's wheelchair was perfect was clearly a priority for Richard. He took the time to ensure everything was fitted correctly, comfortable, and tailored to George's needs. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, and every time we've needed an accessory or had a question, Richard has been incredibly helpful. He has always sourced exactly what we needed, fitted everything for us, and made sure it was all working perfectly before we left.
It's rare to come across someone who cares so much about the people they're helping. Richard's knowledge, professionalism, patience, and genuine kindness have made what can often be a daunting process so much easier. He has always treated us with compassion and respect, and we have complete confidence that George is receiving the very best support.
The customer service and aftercare from Lifestyle and Mobility have been exceptional throughout, and the personal touch Richard brings is something that really sets the company apart. We are so grateful for everything he has done for us and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lifestyle and Mobility to anyone looking for high-quality mobility equipment backed by outstanding service.
Thank you, Richard, for always going the extra mile—it truly means more than you know.

After speaking to several different companies, the team here really stood out and were incredibly helpful.

A huge thank you to Richard, who saved me a lot of money by recommending only what I actually needed. Unlike other companies, there was no pressure or attempt to upsell unnecessary products.

I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. Excellent service from start to finish!

When we got there it was empty but we were were made to feel very welcomed & we felt immediately that our custom was very welcomed. After we sat at our table we looked at the menu and we chose drinks of a pint of Stella Shandy & a mocktail.of orange juice, lime juice, grenadine with lemonade & soda water & it was ice cold & very refreshing. I ordered a RAILWAY LAMB CURRY, with a poppadom & mint dip and a Peshwari naan bread & my partner ordered a chicken tikka masala with a fresh minted dip. My partner had a Stella Shandy with a poppadom & a plain naan bread! We both ordered a side of mushroom rice each to go with our curries. The food was bought to us fresh, piping hot & homemade. The lamb in my curry was beautifully tender as was my partner's chicken in his tikka masala..Every part of our meals was homemade and cooked by hand and it was really delicious and perfect from start to finish.

Shameful treatment

Read how this company treats its customers in the Guardian. Better to buy online.

I bought a £435 wheelchair for my disabled daughter from my local Lifestyle & Mobility store.

She had been admitted to hospital for tests and I planned to use the chair to take her on outings when she was discharged.

The next day, her condition deteriorated and she died two days later. She was 46.

The wheelchair had never left the boot of my car and, since the store and the car park were in an indoor shopping centre, had never been taken outside.

I begged Lifestyle & Mobility to allow me to return it, even for a partial refund, but it has refused.

My daughter was a single parent and the money would make a difference to her teenage daughter; moreover, the wheelchair is another reminder of our loss and it hurts to look at it.

JS, Bournemouth

I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. You have tried for the past three months to sell the wheelchair privately online but to no avail.

You bought it in person because you try to support local stores.

If you had bought it online, you could have saved up to £100 and benefited from a statutory 14-day cooling-off period.

Lifestyle & Mobility has no legal obligation to refund you, but I hoped, given the grievous circumstances, that compassion would prevail. It did not.

It told me that customers are only refunded if a product is faulty or mis-sold. “Given the nature of our business, we are regrettably familiar with circumstances of the sort this customer is experiencing,” it says. “Be assured that we take no pleasure in having to apply the above criteria in such cases.”

Its terms and conditions suggest differently. These state that any goodwill variations to the refund policy are at the discretion of the company.

I asked it twice why it will not use its discretion in your case, which, given your daughter died so young, and so suddenly, before the chair was unpacked, strikes me as exceptional. It did not reply.

Official statement from Lifestyle & Mobility

We are deeply saddened by the circumstances surrounding this case and extend our sincere condolences to the customer and her family for the devastating loss of her daughter.

We fully understand why people reading this story have strong feelings about what happened.

We would, however, like to clarify one important point. Lifestyle & Mobility did not ignore The Guardian’s enquiries. Our team responded more than once, including comment before publication.

Having reviewed that correspondence at director level, we accept that our responses focused too narrowly on statutory rights and established policy and did not adequately address the wider question of discretionary goodwill in these circumstances.

Most importantly, the matter was not escalated to a director. Given the sensitivity of the circumstances and the involvement of a national newspaper, it should have been. Our Managing Director only became aware of the case following publication and is now overseeing it directly.

There is also wider context to this issue.

Lifestyle & Mobility is an independent, family-run specialist mobility business that has spent more than two decades supporting elderly and disabled people. We are proud to provide an inclusive workplace.

Our teams work extremely hard to provide excellent customer care. Caring for people is fundamental to the people we employ, the customers we serve and the reason our business exists.

Sadly, we regularly encounter bereavement and sudden changes in medical circumstances. Families may be left with recently purchased specialist equipment when a loved one’s circumstances unexpectedly change or they sadly pass away.

These situations are incredibly difficult, and our teams endeavour to deal with them with compassion and sensitivity. However, they also raise a genuine question of fairness and consistency. A bereaved family whose situation never reaches a newspaper deserves the same compassion and consideration as one whose circumstances do.

We cannot operate a blanket policy whereby every bereavement or unexpected medical change automatically results in a refund. Products may have been used, specially ordered, individually configured or manufactured, and significant costs may already have been incurred.

That does not mean Lifestyle & Mobility refuses refunds or will not go beyond its obligations. We regularly process refunds where appropriate and seek practical ways to support customers when circumstances change. In some higher-value cases, we have helped customers find a new buyer or facilitated resale.

There is no single solution that can apply fairly to every situation. The question is not whether compassion should be shown, of course it should, but how discretion can be exercised compassionately, fairly and consistently for every family.

This case involved a deeply tragic and unusual combination of circumstances. We recognise that it should have been escalated beyond the normal process for senior-level consideration. It was not, and we are addressing that.

We are reviewing whether exceptional compassionate circumstances should have a clearer route for senior-level consideration, allowing difficult cases to be considered individually while maintaining fairness and consistency.

Our Managing Director is personally overseeing this case, and our priority is to find a compassionate and fair way forward for the customer and her family.

We are concerned that this sad situation has created an impression of Lifestyle & Mobility and its people that does not reflect the care our teams provide to thousands of customers and families each year. We ask that our business and its people are not judged solely by one deeply sad and unusual case, but also by the many families we support.

We will learn from what has happened and remain committed to providing excellent products, genuine care, professional support and the best possible service.
