We just had a resident come down with a devastating disease that has quickly required the use of a power wheelchair. We have a low step but no ramp at the entrance. Does anyone know of a source for a temporary ramp that can be used for a power chair? The ones found by our agent are rather flimsy and/or too long. A permanenet ramp seems to be a big deal.
Thank you.
Good for you for acting so quickly on behalf of your resident.
This is a good source: http://www.rampsforliving.com/
They have various kinds of ramps that you can see on their website & we found them very caring.
it would be a good idea to check with united spinal. they are in queens ny .
united spinal org
They know all the ins and outs.
the slope and rise is a big consideration
The NYC Commission on Human Rights is the office to call for the information. They are very helpful - call Harvey Fisher at 718-722-3133 or email him at: hfisher@cchr.nyc.gov. Or Ted Finkelstein, same phone number.
They will also send you literature about the regulations and provide guidance, but can't recommend vendors or contractors.
