DATELINE: LAKEVILLE, MA…
A few stairs can seem like a mountain to someone who is experiencing the challenges of limited mobility, especially if they rely on a wheelchair, scooter, or walker¬. Installing a ramp system to remedy this situation can seem daunting— wood rots and warps and steel rusts, requiring ongoing maintenance.
That is why Dave Austin, Founder and President of Lift & Care Systems in Lakeville, MA, set out to find the best possible solution to enhance the mobility of his clients. As a result, Austin has established a Ramp Division at Lift & Care utilizing maintenance free National RAMP systems products.
More durable than wood and steel ramps, National RAMP systems can support up to 850 pounds and won’t rust, rot, or warp. The ramps are maintenance free and do not require painting or sealing. The walking surface of the ramps is made of an innovative open aluminum mesh that lets rain and snow through and is slip resistant.
Lift & Care’s Ramp Division is dedicated to providing durable and affordable ramp systems that require no maintenance and can be quickly installed. The ramp systems can be purchased for long-term use, or rented for temporary access, providing an ideal solution for someone experiencing a temporary disability. Since the ramp systems can be installed quickly and are rented on an as needed basis, they provide the ideal solution for easy access to a wedding, graduation, or other special event.
Notes Austin, “We can provide almost immediate access to most residential and commercial buildings with the installation of this ramp system. For short-term disabilities, installation on a rental property, or installation while recovering with a family member, the National Ramp system provides the easiest most affordable option, particularly since installation doesn’t require a Building Permit, or entail expensive permanent construction or concrete footings.”
SureHands Lift Systems
Lift & Care Systems also offers the SureHands line of patient lift systems which are so remarkable that they have been featured on two episodes of ABC-TV's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." A SureHands lift & care system was installed to help make a home ADA compliant and enable the resident to transfer and accomplish his normal activities for daily living. This multi-directional SureHands system was mounted to the ceiling connecting the bedroom to the bath, allowing the resident greater mobility, free of floor based obstacles.
