About Handi-Ramp
Since 1958, Handi-Ramp has been manufacturing ramps for wheelchairs.
Following the death of its founder, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy by 1995. When Thom Disch, President and CEO took over, he recognized the growth opportunity presented by the legal requirements of The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which had been enacted in 1991, and the prospective demand from the needs of the aging of the baby boomer generation.
Disch took Handi-Ramp and created a solutions company. Handi-Ramp is the oldest manufacturer of ramps in the world and the only company that custom manufacturers any product to suit our customer's needs using materials fabricated in the United States.
To serve our customers and the community better Handi-Ramp created the Home Access Program (www.homeaccessprogram.org) in September 2006. Designed to assist individuals, families, and businesses in their quest for accessible properties and services is the premise of the program.
The process of buying and/or modifying a home should not be as difficult as it is, said Thom Disch, Handi-Ramp President and CEO.
Disch envisioned a nationwide program that would put resources at the finger tips of individuals and families in order to make the process simple and pain free.
Since its inception the Home Access Program has hit the ground running adding new resources each month including member databases, daily ADA news, a monthly newsletter, accessible home listings and links to disability resources.
Funding is a major concern and barrier for many individuals. Handi-Ramp's non-for-profit organization, The Handi-Ramp Foundation (www.handirampfoundation.org) works to provide funding assisting qualified candidates in their purchase of accessibility equipment.
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.

Mobility Ramp Specialists: We'll Get You the Right Mobility Ramp!
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 of
Medicare phone numbers.
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 this senior 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 .
- For a wheelchair ramp construction manual, see The Home Wheelchair Ramp Project from Wheelchairramp.org. This site also provides links to photos of wheelchair ramps under construction.
To help you plan
and build the right wheelchair ramp for your needs, check out a helpful
article from

You've probably heard the
expression, "Where there's a will, there's a way." 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.
