Can someone please recommend a good wheelchair please?

My father is currenty unable to move much and needs help getting in and out of the wheelchair. I need help choosing a comfortable wheelchair for him, plus we don't have a lot of money. Not powered please!

Thank you...

Your dad needs to be measured for a custom chair by either an occupational therapist or a physical therapist; all he needs is a prescription from his doctor.
If he has Medicare and Medicaid, it won't cost him a penny. If he's a veteran, he can get services there. If neither is the case, your county's public health department/hospital can help at very nominal cost, if any.
He should also be seen by an OT or PT, either through a home health agency or as an outpatient at a hospital (though it does sound like home health is the appropriate choice.), at least to teach family members about safe transfers and proper positioning.
