Automatic Folding Portable Mobility Scooter

Access Mobility Equipment is the authorized dealer for the Solar Mobility Transformer Scooter.   The Transformer Scooter is a small mobility scooter providing people with indoor, as well as rugged outdoor, mobility.

Other mobility scooters have to be disassembled to make them small enough or lightweight enough to be loaded into your vehicle.  The Transformer folds automatically with its own power and motor.  All you have to do to fold it, is push a button on a remote control on your keyring.

Other scooters have large or heavy batteries to enable them to go the distance all day.  The Transformer has a lithium battery that will go plenty of miles on a charge.   The battery is lightweight and portable too.

We have a demo sample of the Transformer scooter in our showroom.   Come check it out today at Access Mobility Equipment.  

A detailed video and additional information about the  Transformer scooter is featured on our website at http://www.accessmobilityequipment.com/mobility-scooters/

No job too big, or small. Handicap Access Remodeling

Access Mobility Equipment takes all of our jobs with the same seriousness.  Whether you are remodeling an entire bathroom with a walk-in tub, installing a stairlift, or just adding a handrail, all of these jobs are important.    It's our mission and focus to make sure that our seniors and mobility challenged friends are staying safe in their homes.

Recently, we completed a job that was really small.  But small size and cost doesn't mean the safety element is less important.

In this job, we simply added a handrail to a front porch beside the steps, installed a bathroom grab bar, and modified a floor to be flat (the area used to be two bedrooms but is now one.  The floor was left uneven years ago in the area under where the wall was previously.)  We made the floor flat and level to prevent a tripping hazard, especially with the use of a walker.

All of these little things matter at Access Mobility Equipment.   We can handle all of your home and vehicle modifications for accessibility and safety.   We sell, service, and install things like stairlifts, ramps, patient lifts, lifts and ramps for scooters or wheelchairs on a vehicle, Scoota Trailer, and almost aything related to mobility and accessibility.

Our local friends at the Homecare America store are available for all your home health care needs.  They sell things to make your life easier like hip kits, braces, compression hosiery, bath chairs, walkers, canes, and bedside commodes. 

Homecare America is located in the Westwood Shopping Center at 2017 Plank Road; Fredericksburg Va 22401.  You can reach them at 540-741-3538 or on the web at www.homecareamericausa.com

Vehicle Lift Carrier for Permobil and Pride Quantam Q6 EDGE

Access Mobility Equipment has the solution that so many people are looking for.   A common problem is that powered wheelchairs are being manufactured heavier than ever before.  Meanwhile, our vehicles are being manufactured lighter and more efficient than ever before.  The end result is that a lot of folks have heavy powered wheelchairs, for which there is no outside vehicle lift available to carry their chair on a traditional trailer hitch mounted lift.

The most popular chairs that we see and answer questions about are the Permobil chairs.  Almost all Permobil chairs are built with custom seating, powered seating, and larger batteries.  Another heavy chair that is quite popular is the Quantam Q6 EDGE from Pride Mobility.  These chairs easily way 250+ pounds, sometimes more.

We have the perfect solution. As a matter of fact, we can say with a great deal of confidence that we have the best solution, and in many cases, the only solution.

Click this link Scoota Trailer to see how we can get you and your powered wheelchair or scooter back on the road again.  Scoota Trailer is the ONLY ride for your mobility device that is covered, weatherproof, secure, and has a suspension protecting your chair's electronics from too much bouncing.

Scoota Trailer will carry even the heaviest of powered wheelchairs up to 600 pounds, all while placing an average of 55-75 pounds of tongue weight on your hitch.  This means anyone can tow a Scoota Trailer with as little as a class I hitch on a Smart Car or hybrid.

Call Access Mobility Equipment today.  We have special pricing, a "best price guarantee" on Scoota Trailer, free shipping, and even a special financing option.  We ship Scoota Trailers for free in the main 48 states.   We're the nation's leading source for Scoota Trailers.

Which one? Walk-in Tub, or Barrier Free Shower

Many people want to "age in place" at the home they love.  No one wants to move, especially from a home we're used to and have enjoyed while working hard for years to complete the mortgage payment.  But, many people face just that.  Often times, one of the reasons that seniors must move or sell is because of growing dependence on others or caregivers, to complete basic hygiene, showering, etc.

Access Mobility Equipment can help you remain more independent in the bathroom of the home you love.

Our products and services that can help with this are:

Tub Cut: make your existing tub a walk in tub within one day and under $2500.

Bath Lift: make getting in and out of your tub, and down to bath soaking level, as easy as pushing a button. Lifts fit almost any tub and cost under $1500 usually

Walk-in Bathtub:  replace your existing tub with a tall soaking tub with an easy to step through door.  These tubs have features such as water massage jets, air massage jets, personal bidet, aromatherapy, rapid drain, etc.  These installations are typically complete in 1-2 days for a wide range of prices beginning from $5000.00. (Do not let high pressure salesmen from a company selling tubs on television convince you to buy a $12,000 - $18,000 project .... this is way overpriced but it is very common)

Barrier Free Shower:  like to stand for your shower or use a shower seat in a standard shower but you have trouble stepping over the threshold into the shower?  Want to roll your shower chair into the shower area?  A barrier free shower, sometimes called a roll-in shower might be for you.  These are usually complete in 1-2 days and range in price from $5000.00

Other items such as bathroom grab bars, handicap ADA commodes, wheelchair accessible sinks, etc can all also help keep seniors safe in the bathroom.

Many people have trouble deciding between a walk-in bathtub or barrier free roll-in shower.  Access Mobility Equipment is here to help.

Benefits of walk-in bathtub:
* ability to soak submerged in water
* optional water and air jets
* therapeutic benefits of massaging water
*can be used as a tub or shower just like most standard tubs

Benefits of barrier free roll-in shower:
* completely flat entrance for walking in with no step, or roll in shower wheelchair
* can have a built in or fold down seat

This list and article are merely suggestions and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of possible options for bathroom accessibility.   Let us meet with you to discuss your specific needs to determine the best solution for you, personally.
