Wheel Chair,
Scooter, Handicapped amp; Disabled Ramps
We are here
working for you and your satisfaction as our
first and foremost priority. We believe that
by talking, the old fashioned way, is the
most effective way to ensure your
satisfaction with the purchase than simply
buying online, by yourself, without sharing
the experience and knowledge for 5 to 10
minutes with a Mobility Ramp Specialist. We
appreciate that COST is a key factor for
everyone, whether you are a millionaire or
are primarily living off Social Security.
Our advice is Free. We will always, always
try to get you the best Price. This much is
certain: No one will KNOW more about
Mobility Ramps, or CARE more about getting
you the right model, or will try to get you
a better price.

Q: I need to have a
wheelchair ramp installed from my front door to
the driveway. This would be my only way of getting
in and out of the home unaided. Does Medicare have
any benefits that will cover a portion of the
cost?
A: Although wheelchairs are covered by Medicare
Part B, at this time Medicare does not cover the
cost of installing a wheelchair ramp to your home.
For more information, contact a Medicare
representative directly. To help you get started
here is a list ofMedicare
phonenumbers.
To learn more about the types of durable medical
equipment that Medicare covers, see this booklet
from Medicare, called Medicare
Coverage of Durable Medical Equipment and Devices.
(Note: To read this booklet online you must have
Adobe Reader installed.)
To get help installing a wheelchair ramp, here are
options for you to consider:
Many communities
across the U.S. have assistance programs to help
seniors with disabilities modify their homes so
they can stay in their homes longer. These
modifications include wheelchair ramps.
To find senior
assistance programs in your state, search thissenior
assistance program list.
Check with
your city to find local programs. I did a Google
search in the area where I live and found
several community service agencies that provide
free or low-cost construction assistance to
modify seniors' homes with wheelchair ramps,
grab bars in bathrooms, and other home
modifications.
To find local
organizations, type this into your Web browser:senior
assistance (your city).
You may find government agencies and local
non-profit organizations that can help you
modify your home with a wheelchair ramp.
If you have a Habitat for Humanity office in
your area, they may be able to direct you to
local organizations that can help you modify
your home with a wheelchair ramp or other
improvements .
To help you plan and build the right wheelchair
ramp for your needs, check out a helpful article
fromNewdisability.com
For a wheelchair ramp construction manual, seeThe
Home Wheelchair Ramp ProjectfromWheelchairramp.org.This
site also provides links to photos of wheelchair
ramps under construction.
You've probably heard the expression, quot;Where
there's a will, there's a way.quot; If you want a
wheelchair ramp to help you stay in your home,
there are people and organizations that can help
you make it happen
