Why Home Entry Accessibility Matters
You should be able to embrace life on your own terms. Regardless of your mobility challenges, nothing should come in the way of living independently and enjoying home amenities. In fact, simple modifications can significantly enhance safety, convenience, and independence.
At 101 Mobility, home accessibility is our specialty. With over a decade of experience, we understand the challenges people of all ages can face. Many people find they need a stair alternative, whether aging in place, managing a disability, or recovering from a medical procedure. As experts in mobility and accessibility solutions, 101 Mobility recognizes that even small staircases, like those in a garage, can create significant hazards. We proudly offer many home and doorway accessibility modifications regardless of your stairs’ size, location, or design. Together, we can help you find the ideal solution based on your needs and home!
Ramps: Home Entry Solutions for Mobility Challenges
You may be wondering how to make your home wheelchair accessible. We can help. We offer a wide range of residential handicap ramps, ensuring an improved quality of life. Learn more about our personalized solutions:
- Types of Ramps: Tell us your needs, and we’ll offer the best ramps for home entry that support your goals. From Aluminum Modular Ramps to Rubber Threshold Ramps to Multi-Fold Ramps, each ramp has unique features, which can include non-skid surfaces, A.D.A.-compliant handrails, and an 850-pound weight capacity.
- Choosing the Right Ramp: When deciding which ramp works best for you and your home, consider slopes, space, and material. For example, Threshold Ramps are often ideal for single steps of less than 6 inches and provide a smooth transition from inside to out. Alternatively, Portable Ramps are designed to be lightweight and travel-friendly for those who love to be on the go.
- Installation: Our team of experts will help install your ramp, ensuring your home remains clean during installation. When the installation is complete, we will make sure your new mobility system is ready for immediate use.
Vertical Platform Lifts: A Solution for Steep Elevations
For individuals using mobility aids such as a walker or wheelchair, a Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) can make your home accessible for you and your device! Many families are also incredibly excited to learn they can transport pets, laundry, or grocery items. Platform lifts can even be installed outdoors or indoors, such as in a garage or interior staircase. Learn more about your options:
- Indoor vs. Outdoor Lifts: Enhance your home’s accessibility with 101 Mobility’s range of indoor and outdoor VPLs. Our VPLs are great for customers where stairs are not an option or outdoor settings where height differences exist without steps. On the flipside, Inclined Platform Lifts (IPL) are best suited for customers with existing staircases, especially where space is limited or where the staircase needs to remain usable by others in the home.
Our residential platform lifts can be tailored to your needs. And don’t stress about changing temperatures or weather conditions, as our outdoor platform lifts can withstand various conditions, ensuring you can stay mobile year-round.
- Safety Features: At 101 Mobility, we put safety first. You can rely on each VPL to come with advanced safety features, such as emergency stop buttons, slip-resistant surfaces, and weight capacity considerations.
Access Stairlifts for Safe and Easy Home Entry
A stairlift, or “stair chair,” is a motorized seat that transports a single user up or down a staircase. The lift rides along a track or rail system supported by and secured to the stair treads. 101 Mobility offers stairlifts for outdoor access and indoor access. Learn more about their benefits and the varieties we offer:
- When to Choose a Stairlift: Our stairlifts can be personalized to fit a variety of staircase shapes, including stairs with turns and curves. They are appreciated for their small footprint, minimally intrusive design, and quick installation and removal.
- Types of Stairlifts: 101 Mobility offers multiple stairlift options that can be tailored to your personal preferences, such as manually operated or powered lift models. From curved stairlifts to outdoor stairlifts to straight stairlifts, we offer a wide range for every home.
- Weather-Resistant Features: Our stairlifts are made to last. Each 101 Mobility outdoor stairlift is built with weather-resistant material designed to handle a wide variety of elements. Many even come with a weatherproof cover to protect your equipment from temperature changes.
