A combined patient support and carrier for body servicing devices, the apparatus having a platform supported by wheels, certain of which are castered. A vertical frame at the rear of the platform carries handles for both steadying an infirm or convalescing patient and for enabling the patient to maneuver the apparatus. The platform and frame provide a mobile support for various servicing devices which are required for servicing the patient at all times, even while he or she is walking. The platform is provided with an attachment for removably attaching an auxiliary carrier thereto for carrying an additional body servicing device. The auxiliary carrier is supported by castered wheels whereby the patient can maneuver both the platform and the auxiliary carrier as a single unit.
