Making Your Home Accessible for All

The holiday season is a time of joy and togetherness, but for some family members, especially those who are elderly or disabled, mobility issues can pose a significant challenge.

Traveling with Your Mobility Device

Traveling during the holiday season can be both exciting and stressful, particularly for individuals with mobility issues. Navigating airports or train stations, transferring to different vehicles, and dealing with the potential damage to their mobility device can present significant challenges.

101 Mobility provides a range of solutions that can make traveling easier and safer. Our range of portable mobility devices, including power scooters, wheelchair carriers, and compact home stairlifts, are designed for easy transport and installation.

When traveling with your mobility device, here are some tips:

  • Confirm with the airline: Ensure your mobility device will fit in the cargo hold.

  • Secure Proper Documentation: Make sure you have the necessary paperwork, including medical certificates and device specifications, to facilitate hassle-free travel.

  • Battery-powered devices: If you’re traveling with a battery-powered mobility device, check with the airline about their specific regulations.

  • Extra assistance: Many airlines offer additional assistance for passengers with mobility restrictions, such as wheelchair assistance. Ask ahead of time if they can provide you or your loved ones with assistance.

  • Renting Mobility Equipment: If you’re traveling far from home, consider renting mobility equipment at your destination to make your stay more comfortable.

Remember, planning and preparation can go a long way in ensuring a smooth journey. With 101 Mobility’s solutions and these travel tips, you can look forward to a stress-free holiday journey.
