Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

Does anyone know a place where I can hire
a Zimmer frame on wheels for 10 days in May?
A disabled friend comes to visit us but cannot bring
his own.
Help or advice would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There is a place on the right past the Altikia hotel at the end near round about that rent out crutches and such . I gave them my bits after my op . You make a donation

Cheshire Homes loan all types of mobility appliances in return for a donation, so if you use them you are also helping a very needy Charity which supports seriously disabled people some of whom are also elderly and frail and impoverished.

They are located just before the Bellapaise roundabout (coming fromGirne) There is a large sign and a decent sized car park. They stay open till about 4 pm weekdays but best to phone first as they run on 90% voluntary staff who are thin on the ground so be patient, please.

Please note there is a section for "Disability Matters" covering facilities for the disabled and I am copyying this there.

The place mentioned by gates is called The Girne Rehabilitation Centre (Cheshire Homes).
Follow the road towards Ozankoy and Bellapais,
Past Starling on your right, Uncle Sams on your left;
Past Altinkaya Hotel;
Up to the roundabout.

It is actually just before the roundabout on your right but it is easier to go around the roundabout and come back on yourself.
Lots of parking available.

The lady in charge is called Filiz - 0392 815 3771

She is exceptionally helpful and kind.
Normally you leave a donation to borrow what you need and then return it when your visitor goes home.
She should have one (unless it is on loan) as I donated my mother's walker on wheels which was brand new.
If she doesn't have one suitable, there is a shop between the Bellapais lights and the Peace Roundabout that sells disability items and they are not expensive. You can always donate it to the Rehabilitation Centre afterwards so that someone else could benefit from it.
I believe there is now a shop opposite the Girne Hospital as well that sells equipment.

If you need any more information please feel free to send me a private message and I will help where I can.

oops sorry Ragged Robin, our replies crossed

Absolutely no problem Catlover - we seem to be of one mind! Thank you for mentioning Feliz - I did not because sadly I have been unable to visit the Centre recently - but I agree with all you said and would add that she speaks excellent English.

Sebastian vetted had one yesterday .
Sorry off topic.

Thank you very much for you help, will try Filiz hanim.
