Even though porch season is winding down, we wanted to share with our readers how convenient and efficient a porch lift, also known as a vertical platform lift (VPL) can be for people with limited mobility. A porch lift is a cost-effective solution to gaining access to reach raised porches, decks, and other elevated areas for wheelchair, power chair, and other mobility devices.

Often when there is not enough space for a ramp, porch lifts can be a solution. Here are a few reasons you might decide if one is suitable for you. 

Less Space Than a Ramp

Trying to decide whether you need a ramp or a lift? How much space do you have? A porch lift will require a 5′ by 7′ area regardless of the rise. A ramp’s size will increase with every step.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) gives guidelines for ramps. It is a good reference point for ramp slope and length. At a residential home, the standards are different, but for public property, the ADA Standards require a 1:12 slope ratio or 4.8-degree slope.

That requires for every inch that rises, an additional foot is added to the ramp length. For example, if an entrance has three steps with a 7″ riser per step, it will require a 21′ ramp.

Although these calculations were based on a public space, it shows just how significant a ramp is compared to a porch lift. If your space is small at home, a porch lift can be a better use of space than a ramp. 

Simple and Safe Without Assistance 

Of course, there can be safety concerns with any moving platform. However, with a porch lift, you do not need to be dependent on a caregiver. If your mobility allows you to hold down the lever or button, you can operate a porch lift and thus be able to come and go as you please. 

It Works in Weather Conditions and Requires Little Maintenance.

Porch lifts can withstand weather conditions. If temperatures consistently drop below freezing in the area where you live, consider a cold-weather package to ensure your lift will run smoothly on frigid days. It is recommended to have your porch lift serviced annually to help avoid malfunctions. 

At Next Day Access, we are proud to sell, install, and service porch lifts. Our company goal is to provide products for our customers that give them more independence, keep them safer and more comfortable at home. Nous contacter to schedule a free in-home consultation to help you ensure your home is accessible as it can be.

Getting back to a routine after an injury or illness is not an easy task. Once you are home from the hospital, you may notice that you might need some help adjusting to your everyday routine.  Recently at Next Day Access, we had a man seek our services after falling from a tree.

Fortunately, the man will make a full recovery, but as he recovers, he cannot do the simple tasks he once did. His injuries affected his lower back and ribs, causing his core muscles to become weak. He came to Next Day Access and rented a lift chair since getting in and out of a chair was difficult with his temporary disability. Now, with the push of a button, the chair helps him stand. However, because he is expected to make a full recovery, it is unlikely that he will need the chair for a long time. Renting was the best solution for his needs.

Next Day Access also helped a Memphis family with short-term mobility adjustments with a lift-chair, listen to their story:

Opportunity to Try it Out 

When renting a product, if it does not work for you, then you can return it. It is understandable and common for people to not like a product. That’s why renting can be a great solution for you. Having the opportunity to test out your mobility equipment means your needs will be better met.  

Your Injury is Temporary 

Accessibility and mobility costs vary and sometimes the need for a solution can be temporary. As the story above illustrated, if an injury is temporary, then rental may be your best solution. Renting can be arranged for weekly, monthly or even for a long-term basis depending on your needs.

However, if your doctor believes the side effects of the injury could come and go you might want to consider a long-term solution. At Next Day Access, we can go over the benefits of either solution to help you determine whether you should rent or buy the accessibility and mobility solutions.

You are Traveling 

You can rent a variety of our products. Say you fly in for a vacation at the beach for a family trip and need a wheelchair ramp. You can rent a ramp of any style and customization and have it installed by your local Next Day Access. Whatever your needs may be, Next Day Access has you covered.  

We are here when you need us, whether it be for a short-term or long-term solution. Next-Day Access offers rentals for a variety of equipment and needs. Nous contacter today.

As a senior gets older, stairs can be a challenge to navigate. Instead of putting them through the strain or fear of managing the stairs, home modification for seniors can be pivotal in staying safe. Many seniors opt for a stair lift for many reasons, but some situations might make a home elevator a better choice. We’ve discussed the benefits and downfalls of each to help you make the right decision for your needs.

When It Makes Sense To Have A Stair Lift

Installing a stair lift is common in homes because they are less expensive than a home elevator, do not take a lot of time to install, nor do they require home renovations. A stair lift helps an individual navigate the stairs with a stress-free mind. And no worries about the amount of space a stair lift may take up because most models can fold up. Having the ability to fold up allows others to pass through the stairs without trouble.

Who Can Benefit From A Home Elevator?

A home elevator might be a viable option for people who have to stay in a wheelchair or mobility scooter. Although a home elevator is much more costly than a stair lift, it makes it easier to go up and down between the floors for people confined to a wheelchair or a similar mobility device. Plus, it improves the value of your home, so it could be considered a good investment in the long run. One thing you’ll need to be aware of is the amount of with this home modification for seniors is the construction required to make it fit, which will be discussed with your installation professional before beginning the project.

Consider Your Needs And Budget

As with any home modifications,  it is essential to review your needs and budget before deciding which option to choose. Both a stair lift and a home elevator have plenty of benefits, but you also want to make sure you’re not paying for something you don’t necessarily need. A stair lift is sufficient for seniors in most cases. However, talk to an expert about your options to make the right decision for your needs.

As the weather gets warmer, there’s nothing better than sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. When you think about accessibility, you may focus on making the inside of your home accommodating for your mobility needs. However, there are many solutions for creating an outdoor living space accessible. Spending time outside is good for your physical and mental health. Here are some accessibility modifications to consider if you’re looking to make your backyard inclusive for you or your loved ones.

Threshold Ramps

Depending on your outdoor living space, you might have uneven terrain or stairs to navigate. Having even a single step to enter your backyard may make you feel uneasy or scared. A threshold ramp can help with a lot of your concerns and eliminate trip hazards. Threshold ramps are available for permanent or temporary use.

Enjoy Your Yard With A Porch Lift

If you have a raised deck, patio, or porch, a porch lift can help you enjoy your outdoor space with peace of mind. A threshold ramp might not satisfy your needs if you have multiple steps to navigate your outdoor space. But a porch lift is designed to raise and lower you from your deck with ease. It is possible to customize it to be wide enough to fit your wheelchair or mobility scooter.

Benefits Of An Outdoor Stair Lift

If your outdoor space isn’t suitable for a porch lift, then outdoor stair lifts might be the solution you need. It is similar to an indoor stair lift, but it’s made with weather-resistant materials to withstand outdoor elements. Simply sit on the outdoor stair lift to be transported up or down the stairs with relaxation and ease. If you have a garden, pool, or any other outdoor attraction you enjoy using, then a stair lift can help you access them much easier.

Anyone who has mobility concerns should look for the most effective options to help them move around safely. Many people choose a standard wheelchair, but you might want to choose a more luxurious option if you are always on the go. A mobility scooter is one of the most popular products as well as power wheelchairs. We’ve taken a look at them both to help you decide how to choose between the two.

Consider How You’ll Use The Device

When choosing between a power wheelchair and a mobility scooter, you have to understand your needs. If you intend to use the device primarily for indoor use, a power wheelchair may be more suitable for you since it has a sharp turning radius. But if you plan on using the device outdoors, then mobility scooters are usually the way to go. Think about how you’ll use the mobility scooter or power wheelchair primarily, and it will help you make an easier decision. 

Think About Your Range Of Mobility

Your range of mobility will help you determine which product fits your needs the best. Mobility scooters are by far easier to drive and maneuver since it only requires a push of a button. However, they are a little more difficult to navigate tight corners. It’s still possible to use a mobility scooter in the grocery store or even inside your home, but it will take a little practice to figure out your turning radius. A power wheelchair has a tighter turning radius but is a little trickier to use in general.

Understand Pricing Differences

It’s hard to put a price on accessibility, but you can be a little more selective when you have two great options to choose from. If your budget is something at the top of your list of things to consider, then you might be surprised to learn that mobility scooters are usually less expensive than power wheelchairs. The prices vary based on the specific model you choose, but you can reasonably get a good mobility scooter for around $5,000. Compare that to power wheelchairs, which could exceed $10,000 if they have a lot of features.

Next Day Access wants you to feel comfortable with any option you choose regarding mobility devices. We encourage you to test drive different models to see what fits your needs the most. Mobility scooters are often the popular choice because of the price, features, and ease of use. Power wheelchairs are still great options for people as well, though. If you need some assistance or would like more information about either, don’t hesitate to Nous contacter at any time.
