Providing an Accessible Residential Wheelchair Lift in Time

What if you and your wife recently purchased a home – it’s a gorgeous 2 story red-brick home, and although there is no interior work to be done, the exterior is another story.  The grass looks burnt with random patches, the deck in the backyard is unfinished (only way on or off is the porch door) with a 2×9 cement slab adjacent to the deck.  Collectively you decide to make that your first project, installing stairs so family and guests have access to the porch besides the upper door.

One day while unpacking you receive a call from the local hospital: your wife has been in an accident and has been rushed into surgery.  The impact of the accident has crushed both legs and fractured her spine – she may never walk again.

Fast forward weeks later; your wife’s less-critical physical wounds have healed and she has undergone several sessions of physical therapy to regain much of her upper body muscles, yet no change in her spinal fracture and has yet to move any muscle below her waist.

Since there’s no possibly way to build the stairs to the deck yourself (it’s too large a project to do yourself, and too expensive to hire a professional) you decide to dedicate countless hours to finding a solution to your problem.  As you browse the internet you come across Handi-Ramp, a company based in Libertyville IL who provides portable wheelchair ramps, permanent wheelchair ramps, and also offers wheelchair lifts.

Residential wheelchair liftAfter a quick call and just a little more research online, you decide to go with Handi-Ramp because of their inexpensive price and customer service.  You had hoped to have the wheelchair lift shipped and installed within 17 days – just in time for your wife to come home for the first time since the accident, but Handi-Ramp doesn’t agree – they offer an even better time frame of just 10 days!

Finally, today’s the day she’s been cleared to return home.  Family and friends give her a warm welcome home, and they surprise her with a garden in the backyard.  You then point to the doorway and she sees this large white structure just outside the door.  After a few short whispers in her ear, her eyes go wide and she begins to clap.  You then see her slowly begin to cry and a powerful hug is shared.

To have a similar success story, please contact our customer service reps at (800) 876-7267 or visit https://handiramp.com today.
