The best alternative, and what we did with my then 94 year old grandmother was an island tour. We did ours on our own, but you could easily hire a taxi to take you around to see the sights.

Private tour for just the two of us?

 

Another idea is to go to Palm Beach and as long as you are able to push the wheelchair in the heat, you could take in the sights of Palm Beach. There is a nice wide concrete "boardwalk" that runs beachside connecting all of the resorts with the exception of the Marriotts.

You could rent a car...cheaper than a tour for two or more of you. I believe their are rentals available in the pier area.
