This is a follow up post to Disability Ramping: Consider Aluminum over Wood. Here we share some before and after photos of some recent ramping projects...
In Ramping Project 1 - BEFORE, you can see the front of the home with the sidewalk leading from the driveway to the front steps of the home.
In Ramping Project 1 - AFTER, you can see the completed ramping project after the aluminum modular ramping has been installed at the patient's home by Total Medical Solutions. The wheelchair-bound patient now has easy access to his home from the driveway right up to the front door.
In Ramping Project 2 - BEFORE, the project includes installing aluminum ramping in the back of the home from the driveway across the back yard and up to a back door entry at an existing wooden deck.
In Ramping Project 2 - AFTER, we have two photos showing how the ramping was installed to allow easy transition from the driveway to the ramp then up to the wooden deck and back door entry.
Notice in the photo below that a widened landing was included at the juncture from the driveway ramp to allow the patient enough room to maneuver a turn before heading up the ramp to the back door.
Finally, a great video provided by The Home Wheelchair Ramp Project, in Minnesota. While the video is blurry at times, the audio is good and includes comments from individuals that explain why some of the ramp examples shown are difficult to maneuver...good tips to keep in mind when coordinating a ramp installation for a patient who is wheelchair bound.
Total Medical Solutions recommends aluminum modular ramping. It outlasts wooden ramps, installation is super fast, aluminum ramping can be relocated if a patient moves and it can be stored or "banked" for use with future patients. This saves a considerable amount of money for the insurance carrier.
