Compatibility Menlo Park CLC LTCI inspection finding The CLC Veteran population rely heavily on wheelchairs for their daily Activities of Daily Living and quality of life and due to challenging medical conditions including: spinal cord injuries, spasms, contractures, and other neurologic conditions they require specialized interventions for safe and comfortable positioning needs. The VAPAHCS CLCs have used the specialized wheelchairs for patients and need ward stock wheel chairs for our Veterans. The CLC requires alternative mobility wheelchairs that tilt and recline at an angle for both standard and bariatric patients.
