The lives of seniors and individuals with mobility challenges have undergone a significant transformation thanks to the advent of lifts and elevators. These devices have also played a crucial role in enhancing accessibility in commercial settings. Commercial lifts encompass a variety of types, including passenger lifts, goods lifts, wheelchair lifts, and scissor lifts. Minivator stairlifts stand out for their specialized lifting mechanism, providing invaluable assistance in specific situations. The operational efficiency of commercial lifts typically hinges on factors such as lift height, weight capacity, and power needs. With distinct design considerations, these lifts are commonly found in industrial and public structures. In this infographic, we have explained the different types of commercial lift details.

Advantages Of Using a Wheelchair Lift In Moneta And Danville, VA

The inability to move around at ease is a challenge that makes people anxious and overwrought with feelings of helplessness. Well, times have changed, making it simpler for the elderly and disabled individuals who happen to be wheelchair-bound. Ascending to the upper floors of the building or going out to the porch or garden to enjoy the summer mornings are not impossible anymore. Instead, the wheelchair can be moved along with the individual in it with the aid of a quality vertical platform or wheelchair lift in Moneta and Danville, VA.

While such a mobility aid may not always be seen in a residential building, commercial places, and public buildings, ensure the installation of such lifts to cater to mobility-challenged customers and visitors. That does not mean that a resident is barred from installing it, though. One can choose to go for it, provided that standards are met. Compliance with both state and Federal regulations is mandatory too.

The prospect of moving into a compact home does not arise when mobility fails to be a constraint. The end-user needs to check the pros and cons of installing the specialized vertical lift capable of holding an individual who uses a wheelchair before going ahead and placing the order. The associated benefits are too many and too varied to be ignored by a person who is unable to move independently. Some of the pluses that such a lift brings to the user include:-

· Independence- Calling for assistance when one desires to visit the room on the upper floor or go out into the open deck becomes redundant. Instead, the wheelchair-bound person can move as needed without involving other family members or appointing a caregiver. Besides the physical comfort and convenience, the user becomes emotionally self-sufficient.

· Safety- Not all wheelchair users lose the use of their legs. On the contrary, individuals who are capable of walking a few steps may trip and fall when losing balance. Trying to use the steps, even a couple of them, can prove to be risky. The availability of a wheelchair lift is the perfect solution in such circumstances that go a long way in eliminating safety risks.

· Improvement Over Ramps- It is commonplace to find ramps constructed to get over a slope, especially when the incline is not too steep. An able-bodied individual may use it with a scooter or bicycle to enter the building. Sadly, a disabled person who needs to be strapped to a wheelchair may find the move scary. The risk of the wheelchair rolling backward with the individual is too great to be dismissed. Installation of a quality wheelchair instead of a ramp can be advantageous for all concerned.

· Variety- Space constraint is not a problem when one is eager to install a platform lift. It is available in a range of sizes and design that helps the user t find one that meets the purpose perfectly.

Older adults and patients recuperating after hospital discharge can request the required stairlift service in Christiansburg and Hardy related to installation, maintenance, and rentals.

In today's update of Canada Loves Eugenics, 10,064 people died in 2021 through medically assisted death in Canada, and while MAID supposedly exists to allow people with severe, incurable illnesses to die with dignity on their own terms, MAID is generally used because disabled and mentally ill people cannot access governmental assistance and are living in poverty.

The Canadian government is actively pushing poor, disabled people to death.

oh and by the way, Canada performs more organ transplants from MAID donors than any other country in the world.

"Six disability rights and religious advocates told Reuters that the pace of the planned changes to the assisted death framework in Canada brings additional risks of people opting for MAID because they are unable to access social services - the lack of which could exacerbate their suffering." - source

Anyway, it's basically like this: the USA has the Americans with Disabilities Act and Canada has MAID

The Marsh Mansion

I've yet to make the family living there, but I plan to make it the home of a local spiritualist who lives with her caretaker and long-serving butler. It's built from killerbee's Run Down Mansion at GoS.

The front exterior and the front foyer, with the stairlift. An extensive tour below!

Turning to the right of the corridor you will be in the study, which belonged to the lady's late father, a great scholar of the occult.

At the end of the hall, you will see a dumbwaiter, and turning left will take you to the dining room, where the lady would conduct her services.

The parlor, which is not used anymore, used to host the lady's parents and brother, all deceased now. Nobody's sat on those chairs or played the piano for years...except for, well, you know, the ghosts.

The basement is where you do the laundry, store stuff, and where the furnace and the radiator is kept.

The kitchen, where the lady's nanny and the butler used to work. Many of the appliances and fixtures have not been changed in the last 50 years.

Going upstairs would lead you to the chair of the stairlift and the sewing alcove, used by the lady's late mother, who created clothing for everybody out of love.

The red room, where the father would play cards with his colleagues from the university. You can still hear their murmurs and laughter sometimes at night, with the faint smell of nectar.

The caretaker's room. She's new.

The lady's room, easily my favorite room in the house.

The master bathroom, and the attic, where the butler lives.

And finally, the exterior!

An average day in my life

I want to make a post about an average day in my life, with higher support needs nonverbal autism (with continued late regression), severe ME/CFS, low mobility, hypotonia, and other health things. I need a lot of help with most things, and due to my conditions my everyday life probably looks quite different than many people's.

I tried to write this several times. I started with AAC, but I couldn’t see what I just wrote, so I got lost and jumped about too much. This time I made myself some questions to answer, so I can still use AAC to help with the words, but not get so mixed up. Some of this is written with AAC, some is typed.

Where do I spend most of my time? How do I spend most of my time?

I spend the large majority of my time in my bedroom, and the most of that time is spent in bed.

In bed, the things I do is: watch DVDs or other things on laptop, edit AAC, practice/write with AAC, play games on phone, listen to music.

When I am not in bed, I am listening to loud music in my swing! Best way of regulation for me, keeps me calm.

What does my bedroom look like, how do I have things set up?

I sit up in bed with a big wedge pillow and two normal pillows behind me. I usually have my laptop, iPad, AAC device, DVDs and DVD player, and fidget toys (dummy, chewy, tangle) on the bed with me. I also have an overbed table which always has my glasses and case and juice bottle on it. I change around what is on the table depending on what I am doing at that time.

My LED lights in bedroom is usually on orange or yellow colour, with lights fairly dim. The curtains and blackout blind is always closed.

I have a fan and book light always next to my bed. I have a weighted blanket as my duvet, with five other varying types of blankets on top of it.

What are the other activities I do?

I have some other activities I occasionally do with help and prompts. Sometimes I go downstairs (with stairlift) to watch TV and/or do walking (physiotherapy, walking back and forth with or without AFO braces). I also do walking upstairs, because getting downstairs is a real challenge.

I rarely remember that I have options other than the things I see in front of me, so my parents have to give me choices.

Occasionally Mum ask me if I want to play cards, or do something else not normally do. It depends on how I feel and how loud my brain is, but sometimes I say yes.

What are the few things I can do independently on a daily basis?

I can put shoes and socks on, and take off, by myself! Only with same pair of stretchy shoes, just pull on. I do this several times a day because I wear shoes in swing, but not in bed. So it is a strong motor path.

I can change my hoodie/take it on and off by myself.

I can go between my bed and swing by myself, no prompt. I can walk to go to the toilet and change nappy (diaper) by myself.

I can brush my teeth as long as my toothbrush and toothpaste is brought to me. Sometimes I also need a reminder, or I forget. I am more likely to forget in the evening. I remember better in the morning because I don’t like the taste of my own mouth.

I can drink from my juice bottle and feed myself.

I can put DVDs in and out of DVD player and plug it into laptop. I can choose what I want to watch on a few streaming services. I can navigate a few social media apps, and can even post/message on a couple.

I can use the two different remotes to control my LED lights and sensory light projector.

What is my main struggles and difficulties in an average day?

I can't do much without prompts so these two things (bed and swing) is basically all I can do on my own (I can also go to the toilet without a prompt most of the time, but sometimes I get stuck). I struggle to initiate tasks and transition between tasks. I also can only make my body go on strong motor paths (movement sequences that I do over and over that is strong in my muscle memory), and there is only space in my brain capacity for a small amount of these motor paths at a time. Learning a new motor path and making it strong can make me lose a previous motor path (usually whichever is weakest at that time). This is very limiting.

Even with the pillows I have, it is not enough support. My body is too weak and floppy. My posture is bad and I slide/slump down so I am closer to a lying down position than sitting. I am always in a lot of pain, so I shift around a lot trying to get comfy, but it is never quite right. This is even more for when I sit in swing (or anywhere else), there is next-to-none support there.

If I could, I would be in my swing all the time! But unfortunately I have very low energy due to ME/CFS so a lot of rest is necessary. I find this hard because I need to stim and regulate constantly.

It is necessary that I spend much time alone in my room. If I didn’t, the smallest things would send me into immediate shutdown or meltdown. I can’t be around people much at all, even voices noises is too much. Usually I am only around people for the time when they help me with something, or bring me something.

When I do be around people, even with AAC it is very very difficult for me to communicate - I can do a handful of simple signs but anything more complex is so hard to get out that it usually has to happen when I am on my own in my room (like when I write a post like this). I am sad that I can’t have important or deep conversations with a person in the same room. Most of the important things I communicate to Mum is through Tumblr or WhatsApp.

I am oversensitive to so many things because of sensory issues. I am always dysregulated and I spend so much time trying to keep myself calm with swinging, with out making my health worse.

Often I am much too tired and sore to go downstairs so I am stuck in my bedroom most of the time.

I don't feel many body signals, like my bladder. When I don’t feel the signals at all (or not until too late), combined with getting stuck and not able to initiate go to toilet fast enough, I have accidents. This used to be something I could just about keep on top of, but with regression I no longer can manage it, so I have to wear nappies (diapers). This also adds another task (change nappy) that I have to use my limited brain capacity to learn and hold onto.

I am so fatigued and in pain from doing small things, and my body response to fatigue is often a big trigger for many sensory issues. This often becomes a downward spiral of fatigue response -> sensory bad -> big stim to calm down -> stim makes fatigue worse -> more body fatigue response, etc.

What is my morning routine like?

The first thing that happens in the morning (approximately 9am) is Mum or Dad comes to my bedroom with breakfast and medication. They help prop me up in bed with a big wedge pillow, and two normal pillow behind me. They give me my headphones (I wear almost all day, every day) and help put all my things around me on the bed. They also give me my toothbrush and toothpaste. In the mornings I can’t communicate much at all (only occasionally a few signs), can’t look at another person or do anything that would overwhelm me even a wee bit. It would cause immediate shutdown or meltdown. Shutdown is more likely for the morning time.

What is my mealtime routine like?

Mum or Dad (or very occasionally sister) brings me my food, and if it is a messy food then I put a tea towel over my chest so I don’t get covered in food. I eat while watching something usually, because I need the distraction to not get so stuck. Every time I get new meal or snack brought upstairs to me, I get a fresh bottle of juice also. The bottle is approximately 450ml, and I have 3 meals plus 2 snacks each day. I also get a bottle of water (not juice) brought up with evening meds, so I don’t get sugar on my teeth after I brush them.

I eat the same snacks at the same times every day. I have the same exact breakfast every day, and it has barely changed since I was quite young. I have two lunches, it is the same except for sandwich filling - I eat one for weekdays, one for weekends. Dinner varies, but there is still a predictable amount of choices, and often I eat the same dinner for the same day of the week. Mum sometimes tells me what is for dinner, if it will be different than the usual dinner for that day of the week, or if I ask. But I usually forget by dinner time anyway! 🤷🏻‍♂️

What is my bath time routine like?

With bath, Mum always helps. I need a lot of prompts. I get confused and lost with all the steps. But I have gotten better with practice, and each step have a stronger motor path now. I need Mum to tell me what part comes next.

I use a bath lift to get in and out of the bath.

I can do the physical washing part mostly on my own, sometimes I ask for help with my back. Mum gives verbal prompts and puts the right soap/shampoo in my hand or on washcloth.

Sometimes even with prompts, my brain confuses the steps or the motor paths, and my body does the wrong thing. This happens more recently, because when there is a complex sequence of separate (at least it is stored separately in my brain) motor paths, I can go into “loops” of do same thing over and over. Or my wires get crossed and I simply do the wrong movements.

I can also mostly dry myself (I sit on toilet seat to do it), but Mum always does my back. I can’t dress myself, so once I put on nappy by myself, Mum puts my top on. Then I walk to bedroom and Mum puts my trousers on while I sit on the edge of my bed (it is a better height that sitting on the toilet seat). Then Mum opens deodorant and clicks it up, I put it on myself.

What is my evening/bedtime routine like?

I have poor sleep, usually, and a really weird sleep schedule! My parents go to bed at approximately 10pm (sometimes Mum a bit earlier), and Dad always comes in to tell me goodnight. But I am awake much much after that (usually between 1-3am is when I finally go to bed for sleep). Sometimes I still swing when my parents is in bed, but I try not to swing too late because it can click and make noises.

I stay up and watch things, or play games on phone and listen to music. I often get stuck and cannot transition to go to bed, so I force myself awake for long after I could probably already go to bed.

When I finally manage to force myself to do the bedtime routine (or when my body is so tired it force me), I have to move all the things off the bed (some go on overbed table, some go to charge on the other side of the room). I also then change hoodie from day hoodie to sleep hoodie. I also move big wedge cushion and extra pillow down onto the floor. And put special cushion under my sleep pillow so it is at the perfect angle. Then, finally, I can lie down.

Sometimes I still go on my phone after that, usually to read fanfiction, if I can’t relax enough yet. I also rock back and forth on my side to soothe myself, I have done it since I was very young. I have to put my fan on to sleep, the noise and the feeling on my face is necessary to fall asleep, and it helps keep my temperature okay.

Then, the cycle of morning starts all over again!

Yep, why let your disabilities stop you.

I literally couldn’t attend a class because I couldn’t open the door.

I cannot shower without someone present to help/ [on a good day] make sure I don’t faint.

I lost part custody of my kids as soon as they saw my wheelchair (no matter how much they saw of me looking after my kids and praised me) <- I’m not kidding. I had a spotless glowing report and my previous partner had nothing but complaints about his anger etc yet at the end in a singular line it gave him main custody in an equal custody?? Because I’m in a wheelchair so it might restrict my ability to look after my kids safely. My ex literally threw things , broke things, and had multiple social services reports against him. All I’ve encountered so far is that I cannot sneak up the stairs [the stairlift is loud].

Etc. etc. etc.

Like my health can be a limitation some days, and I can suck it up and do activities in excruciating pain and fatigue if needs must but sometime a limited is just that. A limitation because others are ignorant or infrastructure being a roadblock instead of a fuck off hurdle.

"But why do you let your disability stop you?" Because that's.... what disabilities... do. That's... literally the basic definition... of being disabled... A disability impairs your ability to function. That's what the term means. That's the main thing
