Ramps

Many of us need and utilize ramps. Wheelchair users are the most common people that benefit from the use of a ramp. Other users include those of us who navigate with a cane, brace, crutches, walker, or artificial joints. Frequently those of us who have balance concerns find a ramp easier than stairs. Adding a ramp is an inviting way to help your friends and family visit, come over for cards and join you for the holidays. Offering others the gift of easy access to your home clearly says you want to socialize, connect with, and find value in their participation in your life. Ramps help you and your loved ones maintain your dignity, safety, and independence while keeping the social connections that research shows are needed for a healthy life at any age.

Ramps connect you to your friends and family. Ramps bring your friends, family and your community to you.

You can choose modular ramps to lower your risks entering and exiting your home and garage. You can use threshold ramps inside your home to remove floor level changes that are a trip risk. Portable ramps provide an option for a party, a visitor to your home, for you to visit others and for traveling. Portable ramps are convenient to move materials safely across soft ground, over curbs, or up/down a patio or deck. Portable ramps simplify movement in the home during temporary use of a cast, walker, wheelchair, or if there are sunken floors.

The term wheelchair ramp is somewhat deceiving. Ramps benefit all of us with accessibility challenges whether we are in or out of a wheelchair. A great number of our clients now install our wheelchair ramps to enable safe ascent and descent of stairways. Studies indicate that the anxiety we may experience with some stairs or pathways may be an attempt to keep us safe. 'According to research, an elder can develop a fear of falling even if a fall hasn't occurred, which can increase anxiety and increases the risk for falls. If this fear isn't addressed, it can lead to social isolation and a sedentary lifestyle1.' Our clients often understand that fall prevention is a successful strategy to avoid unnecessary hospital visits and maintain happy, safe mobility. Is it really that important? The answer is YES it is. The CDC states 'Among older adults (those 65 or older), falls are the leading cause of injury death. They are also the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma.'
