Help! Large 'wheelchair' shaped like mobile phone holder?

[NewspaperTaxis]

Hi, I recall be recommended a large 'wheelchair', sort of curved and comfortable, for the elderly such as those with advanced Parkinson's, but now can find no sign of it on the internet anywhere. It looked more like an armchair with wheels rather than a wheelchair really, nothing black or chrome about it, a sort of sandy cardboard colour.

It wasn't, to be fair, a compact thing at all, and you'd hesitate to take it on the train or bus, it wasn't self-propelling either. Damned if I can find any reference to it anywhere. Can anyone help?

You can get specialist supportive wheelchairs but if your parents need something like this you will require an occupational therapy assessment. If the wheelchair if required then the NHS can fund.
Can I ask why such a supportive chair is needed?

Well, 'needed' is a strong word, another lady with 'less' advanced Parkinson's than my mum had it at the last care home we were at... my mother might benefit from it, but we passed last time round because we do like to get her out and about.

I'm just curious because I can't find it on Google at all... and I don't really have a name for it.

Are you thinking of something like this?

That's pretty near to it, yes, thanks! (Not cheap of course...)
