Take matters into your own hands with the right portable ramp
Posted by Best Choice on 6/2/2015 to
Articles
People who rely on a wheelchair for their mobility face many obstacles
in society, but one that is particularly troublesome and limiting is the
wide presence of steps and curbs. Although the passage of the Americans
with Disabilities Act in 1990 has helped to cause buildings to be more
accessible, it is still not uncommon to come across entrances with no
ramps. The ADA is not always enforced, and small businesses, like
hole-in-the-wall restaurants, are often inaccessible. With our portable access ramps,
you can take the situation into your own hands and free yourself to go
anywhere without worrying as much about whether there will be a step to
overcome.

Kate Lohnes April 27, 2007 - 4:02PM Imagine not being able to drive a
car, or pick up a pen, or pluck a weed from your garden. It sounds like a
nightmare, but for people with arthritis, it sometimes becomes their
reality. One of the many activities some people give up at the onset of
arthritis is gardening. The constant stooping, kneeling and gripping
oftentimes becomes difficult for different parts of the body, from hands
to knees to backs.

When bathing and shampooing is impossible, consider No Rinse
Posted by Best Choice on 6/2/2015 to
Articles
Those who face mobility limitations know too well how difficult it is to
find an accessible bathroom setup that meets all of their needs. Even
the bathroom in one’s own home may not be properly modified and
therefore virtually unusable. This means people with mobility
limitations often have to rely on bed baths, which are less effective,
and almost any trip will involve staying in a hotel where it is
impossible to use the shower or to wash one’s hair.

July is a very special month for Americans. We come together with
friends, family, and (often times) complete strangers to celebrate our
freedom and our nation’s birthday. Fireworks sparkle and faces light up.
And in true American style, we throw the burgers on the grill and
prepare the quintessential summer delight–ice cream. In fact, partaking
of ice cream is such an important summer tradition that President Ronald
Reagan officially declared the month of July to be National Ice Cream
Month. And we at The Wright Stuff wholeheartedly agree. That’s why we
put together this collection of adapted dishes and utensils that will
help you enjoy this delectable treat.
