Wheelchair Seating & Mobility Clinic Opens at Cheshire Home in Florham Park

Roll In and Rise Up - The Wheelhouse Outpatient Wheelchair Seating & Mobility Clinic at Cheshire Home Is Now Open to the Public!

FLORHAM PARK, NJ- Cheshire Home announced the official opening of The Wheelhouse Outpatient Wheelchair Seating & Mobility Clinic and is now scheduling appointments. Located at Cheshire Home, 9 Ridgedale Avenue in Florham Park, The Wheelhouse, led by a certified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP), will provide an evaluation to determine which wheelchair is appropriate for individuals with disabilities and physical functional challenges. At the clinic, individuals will have the opportunity to examine and try a variety of mobility and seating options.

For those that rely on wheelchairs for mobility, it is one of the most important parts of their life. To stay active and independent, a wheelchair needs to fit. The Wheelhouse specializes in proper alignment, pressure mapping, and seating selection. The result is a custom fit, tailored to meet individual needs.

Backed by decades of experience in spinal cord injury care and adaptive equipment, The Wheelhouse team blends compassion with clinical expertise to help clients move comfortably, confidently, and safely through the world.

“I’m so excited about the opening of The Wheelhouse. This launch represents a major step forward in making advanced mobility solutions more accessible to the broader community,” Cheshire Home Director of Rehabilitation, and certified ATP, Lauren Rosario stated. “We have combined our expertise in complex rehab technology with a deep understanding of functional independence to better serve individuals beyond our walls. The Wheelhouse is not just a clinic, it is a resource for anyone navigating mobility challenges. We are proud to be raising the standard for wheelchair care in our region.”

Cheshire Home is a licensed special care nursing facility for young adults with spinal cord injuries and neurological conditions. For decades, they have been helping their residents find the right mobility solutions and are now offering that same support to the wider community. Whether a basic manual chair, a power chair, or something in between, The Wheelhouse team will help individuals get more out of their wheelchair and ultimately, their day-to-day life.
