Last night President Obama gave a speech announcing his proposed Jobs Act. There is a real need for jobs: unemployment is at record high levels in some communities. Of particular interest were tax credits for employers who hire the long term unemployed and employers who hire veterans. Both of these groups include considerable numbers of people who use wheelchairs. Ramp systems can help play a role in making it easier for these people to get to work easily and effectively.
If you’ve recently started using a wheelchair, due to an accident, injury, or progression of a health condition, it can be an astonishing discovery to find out how hard it is to get around. People who have been using wheelchairs for a long time know this already. Much of Massachusetts was built before wheelchairs came into regular use: you can see this with our high sidewalks, eccentric curbing, and difficult entranceways to homes and businesses. Over the years, social pressure and legal requirements have led some property owners and businesses to have wheelchair ramps installed, but many do not.
If you need a wheelchair ramp in MA, you have options. It’s important to remember that we live in a really demanding environment. Massachusetts weather delivers in all four seasons! Right now, many areas are still cleaning up after Hurricane Irene and the driving rains of Tropical Storm Lee. Winter’s right around the corner, with freezing temperature, driving snow, and ice. Select a ramp system that can stand up to these conditions! National Ramp systems are made of durable aluminum: guaranteed to last longer and deliver better performance than wooden ramps.
There are other benefits to selecting durable aluminum National Ramps for your home. They install quickly and easily, and can be removed – if you change addresses, you can bring your ramp with you! Having a wheelchair ramp installed can make it faster and easier to leave your home in the morning – making getting to that new job easier!
