Fredericksburg VA Wheelchair Ramp

Recently,  Access Mobility Equipment completed a wheelchair ramp installation for a customer in the Fredericksburg,  VA area. 

This ramp was ordered and installed quickly just before a Christmas weekend deadline. This ramp allowed a customer to move into their new home and enjoy the holidays. 

That's the advantage of an aluminum modular ramp from Access Mobility Equipment.  There are no concrete footers or building permits so the installation can be completed in less than two hours. Best of all,  aluminum ramps from Access Mobility have a lifetime warranty and they never have to be stained,  sealed,  cleaned,  etc.  You'll love the resale value of your ramp too if you ever find yourself no longer needing it.

Contact Access Mobility Equipment today for your free measurement and home evaluation.

We also provide stairlift chairs,  bathroom safety equipment and renovations,  mobility scooters,  and anything else related to mobility or accessibility.

Powered Bath Tub Lift and Stairlift in Fredericksburg Va

Access Mobility Equipment has another happy customer in the Fredericksburg Va area.

We recently provided and installed a battery powered bathtub lift that allows for a much easier bathing process.  It allows a person who has difficulty getting in and out of the tub to have an independent and dignified bath.  The seat allows you to sit at a comfortable height. Then,  a sliding swivel seat allows you to get your legs over the wall and slide across the lift. Then, with the push of a button,  the lift lowers to within 2" of the bottom of the tub. Enjoy your bath and then exit the tub with just a push of the button. For folks that prefer a bath over a shower, this lift is a great device for a safe bath.

At the same home,  we also provided and installed a Harmar Pinnacle SL600 Stairlift. This stairlift has the absolute best track record of reliability and a superior warranty.  When folded for storage while not in use,  it is the most narrow stairlift available.  Harmar is a made in the USA company with 40 years of proven success.

Stairlift and Modular Ramp in Fredericksburg, Va

Access Mobility Equipment has recently completed a project in Fredericksburg,  Virginia.  This project was completed for a young man coming home from the rehab center after an injury. 

A Harmar Pinnacle SL600 Stairlift was installed to allow the gentleman access to his second floor at home.  The Harmar Pinnacle was chosen because of its narrow design and superior made in the USA quality with a great warranty.

An aluminum modular wheelchair ramp was installed at the front porch and sidewalk area. The ramp consists of a 6' ramp from the porch to a 4' x 4' landing and 90 degree turn, and finishes with 15' ramp following the sidewalk towards the driveway.  An aluminum threshold ramp was installed at the 6" step through the door from the porch.

Swing away door hinges were provided and installed to assist with getting the wheelchair and walker through the narrow doors.  This allows us to widen the door opening without actually altering the existing frame or surrounding walls.

Lastly,  we provided a bathtub sliding transfer bench and a raised toilet seat to aid in those areas.

Contact Access Mobility Equipment today to arrange for a free in home evaluation to discuss all of your home handicap accessibility and home modification needs.

Handicap Accessible Shower in Fredericksburg Va

Access Mobility Equipment has another happy customer in Spotsylvania County near Fredericksburg,  VA.

Most step-in showers today have at least some barrier to step over to enter the shower. For some people,  even a small two inch step is enough to create a barrier preventing safe access.  Our goal is always maximum safety and barrier free access to all areas of the house, especially problem areas like the shower where a lot of falls occur.

This blog has pictures attached for a recent handicap accessible barrier free roll in shower modification that we recently completed.

We started by removing the existing fiberglass shower insert.  This gave us the ability to enlarge the floor space in the shower. The floor under the shower was slightly lowered to give us the ability to slope our floor for proper drainage. The floor and walls were rebuilt and tiled. A folding shower chair was permanently installed on the wall opposite the fixtures. A hand held shower and grab bars were added for comfort and added safety.

Contact Access Mobility Equipment for all of your home handicap accessible modifications and equipment.

Vertical Platform Wheelchair Lift Elevator

Access Mobility Equipment has completed a vertical plaform wheelchair lift in the prestigious community of Fawn Lake in Spotsylvania, VA just west of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

A vertical platform lift (VPL) is sometimes also known as a porch lift, deck lift, or elevator.  Access Mobility Equipment provides vertical platorm lifts that are 100% Made in the USA.  Our VPLs are capable of carrying 750 pounds in the platform car.  Our lifts are primarily battery powered so that you never have to worry about a power outtage.  The batteries are always on continuous charge so they are never dead.   There are safety mechanisms in place to ensure that the lift will only move when the top entry gate is closed, and there are no obstructions under the platform as it lowers.

Check out our vertical platform wheelchair lift page here: Platform Lifts

This particular customer initially called Access Mobility Equipment in Fredericksburg, VA to evaluate the residence for a wheelchair ramp.  The height to the entry door inside the garage was 58" which would require too lengthy of a ramp for inside the garage.   The height at the main front entry was even higher and more undesirable because of the appearance from curbside.   So, in this case a platform lift was a very good option,  The footprint of a platform lift is very small relative to the height of rise it can handle lifting straight up.

One challenge here was the steps went straight to the door so there was no landing or turning space coming off the lift and into the door.  Our crew removed the existing steps and constructed a 5' x 5' ADA Compliant landing at the door threshold level.  The steps were then added back to the platform on facing the same direction.  Finally we installed the lift so that the carriage ends on the side of the platform making for easy entry and exit for our customer using his wheelchair or walker,

There are some before, during, and after pictures attached to this blog entry.

Vertical Platform Wheelchair Elevator

Access Mobility Equipment in Fredericksburg Va has recently completed the installation of a vertical platform lift. 

A vertical platform lift, sometimes called a VPL, wheelchair lift, or porch lift, is usually placed next to a porch, deck, or doorway.  The purpose of the lift is much like an elevator.  It raises straight up from the ground to to the higher level.  This is a desirable option because it takes up less space than a long wheelchair ramp.  Since it is powered, caregivers and users enjoy using less physical effort to walk or manually push a wheelchair. 

Our platform lift installations include all related services.  In the pictures for this completed job, there was the addition of a new concrete slab for the lift to sit on and mount to, as well as the addition of a new 20A GFI outdoor outlet. 

Our wheelchair platform lifts can lift up to 14' in height.  They comply with all national and local safety codes.  There are several safety features built in to the for safe user operation.  There are optional gates, wireless remotes,  interlocks, and a weather canopy over head for the user.    The platform and enclosure are large enough for a wheelchair user and a caregiver to ride together.   There is a 3 year warranty on all parts.

Access Mobility Equipment offers discounts to veterans and for customers that avoid the fee of credit card processing.  We also offer very low, fixed interest rate financing to help with funding for wheelchair platform lifts, ramps, and other equipment.

Call today for your free in home estimate to see how we can help you with handicap accessible home modifications.

Easy Stand Discount from Access Mobility

Access Mobility Equipment is a source for new or used, and demonstrator models of Easy Stand.

Easy Stand is the best sit-to-stand standing frame device available.  Altimate Medical pioneered the sit-to-stand device and they've been perfecting and making improvements and innovations for many years. 

An Easy Stand device is medically necessary for patients that are unable to spend and spend most of their days in a seated position.   A physician approved and physical therapist administered standing program has huge benefits for wheelchair users. 

Standing allows one to bear weight through the legs and hips.  This improves bone density and reduces the effects of osteoporosis and fractures.   Standing naturally elongates the user's trunk which improves respiratory and digestive function.  Standing can assist in working to build trunk control and head control by building and strengthening muscles that can atrophy during extended sitting over periods of years.   Standing and weight bearing can reduce spasticity and assist with positioning by reducing contracted muscles and joints.    The psychological benefits of standing are huge because the user can be face to face with peers and participate in certain activities at an acceptable position.    In short, standing is great in many ways.  Standing is medically necessary.   We were created to stand.   Failure to stand can have dire consequences over long periods of time.

Access Mobility Equipment employs a seating and positioning specialist with 20 years of experience.    Contact us today for a free fitting and evaluation for an Easy Stand device.

Our Easy Stand inventory includes new, used, and demonstrator models of Easy Stands such as the Evolv, the Bantam, the Zing, the Glider, and thd Strap Stand.   No matter what your Easy Stand need is, we've got you covered.
