The U.S. Armed Forces play an important role in the protection, history and development of our country. Throughout the month of May, observances including Military Appreciation Day, Armed Forces Day, Military Spouse Appreciation Day and Memorial Day offer dedicated reminders to pause and reflect on the selfless sacrifices of men and women in service. For this reason, May is Military Appreciation Month.

The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard are the armed forces of the United States. The Army National Guard and the Air National Guard are reserve components of their services and operate in part under state authority.

We are proud to acknowledge 70+ NSM team members who have represented various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces during their time in the service. We are also pleased to recognize our CEO and former Army Captain, Bill Mixon, for receiving the U.S. Department of Defense’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve’s (ESGR) Patriot Award. The Patriot Award honors individual supervisors who have directly supported Service members and their families through actions such as allowing flexible schedules, providing time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of absence if needed. Supervisors must be nominated by an employee serving in the Guard or Reserve or the spouse of a Guard or Reserve member.

“As a veteran, it is of the utmost importance that NSM is committed to supporting those who serve this country. The freedom and opportunities we have are possible because of the sacrifices our service members have made in the past and make every day,” Mixon said.

We extend gratitude and appreciation to our nation’s military heroes this month and always.

• Protect Against Falls – Icy weather can increase the risk for falling. Chronic conditions like joint pain, arthritis or changes in weather conditions can increase the risks of falling among seniors. Improve your living environment by using accessibility equipment like grab bars, bed rails, non-slip bath mats, portable ramps and stair lifts.
• Clear Away the Leaves – Keep walkways clear of leaves, which can become slick when it rains. Make sure sidewalks and porches are cleared of leaf piles, ice and snow as these can pose further risks for dangerous falls. Leaves soaked in water could have the same effect as ice, potentially causing slip and fall injuries while walking.
• Wear Sensible Shoes – Don’t wear shoes with high heels or slick soles as it can increase risks of falls. Wear comfortable, non-skid footwear that offers plenty of traction to avoid slipping or tripping. It is important that the soles are not too thin or too thick.  Walk on stairs or floors in socks or in shoes and slippers with smooth soles.
• Use the Handrail: Not using a handrail is one of the most common reasons for falls on a staircase. Always use the handrail when going up and down stairs inside and outside your home.
• Use an Assistive Device – Appropriate use of canes, ramps and walkers can prevent falls. If the physician recommends using a cane or walker, make sure it is the right size. This is particularly important when walking in areas that you are not familiar with or where the walkways are uneven. A physical or occupational therapist can recommend the right type of accessibility device and provide instructions on how to use it safely.
• Choose the Right Type of Accessibility Equipment – Outdoor stairs can be filled with wet leaves which can increase the risk of falling. Accessibility devices such as exterior stair lifts can help improve mobility and prevent falls.

Are you thinking of having a lift installed in your commercial building?

Installing a lift in your commercial building can make a huge difference to your business. Welcoming clients or customers of every ability to your commercial establishment is not only good for the business, but is also the right thing to do. Everyone deserves to enjoy a local coffee shop or restaurant or any other commercial establishment that they love without having a lot of difficulties navigating around the building. However, persons with mobility issues who use wheelchairs or mobility scooters face real challenges when it comes to accessing the commercial establishments they love. Installing commercial wheelchair lifts is the perfect option that would eliminate these barriers and provide safe access in low-rise buildings. These devices allow users to enjoy a safe and smooth floor-to-floor travel without leaving the comfort of their wheelchair. When compared to other accessibility devices, wheelchair lifts are quite easy to install and configure, and require less space than ramps and other devices.

Here discussed are some of the top benefits of installing a wheelchair lift in commercial buildings –

• Full Access – Providing access to people with mobility issues is not just about installing accessibility equipment at the front of the building. Rather, it is important to ensure that the device provides full access to as much of the building as possible. The main benefit of installing a wheelchair lift is that it will help people access every floor in a building with ease, which improves comfort and provides a sense of independence.
• Safety – A wheelchair lift helps people to remain safe by reducing the risk of falls or injuries. In addition, it also helps them to maintain their independence. When choosing a lift for a commercial building, it is important to keep the safety aspect in mind. Leading accessibility equipment dealers like Bruno offer wheelchair lifts that are equipped with advanced safety features like weather protected controls and switches, platform safety panel, paddle landing controls, interlock system, emergency stop button, constant pressure controls on platform, and audio-visual alarm.
• Reduce Stairwell Traffic – Wheelchair lifts can divide the amount of foot traffic in the building by offering alternative access to the different floors of the building, apart from the stairs. Directing all people towards the stairs increases the likelihood of an accident happening when a huge crowd of people are using the stairs at the same time. With the use of a wheelchair lift, only a limited number of people need to use it at one given time. This provides a safer and more orderly mode of transport so that there will never be a buildup of traffic.
• Space Saver – Commercial lifts are also major space savers. Having several stairwells in buildings can take up a lot of room, whereas lifts are compact and can be designed to fit the aesthetic of the specific space. Using lifts is quicker and more efficient.
• Customization – Different commercial establishments will require different features, designs and styles depending on their type of work or needs. Reputable accessibility equipment dealers provide lift designs that perfectly match the individual needs and aesthetics of the commercial establishment. For instance, Bruno offers top-quality commercial wheelchair lifts that are built to accommodate wheelchairs of varying sizes, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Right from enclosed wheelchair lift models to 3-Gate VPL, these devices can be installed in offices, restaurants, or any commercial business establishments that plan to make their environment more accessible.
• Cater to All Needs – By installing a wheelchair lift in a commercial space, you can provide access to all groups of people. Apart from people with mobility issues who require wheelchair access, other people who suffer from heart conditions or who otherwise aren’t able to climb flights of stairs will also find these devices useful. Pregnant women also need access to a lift so that they aren’t put under any unnecessary strain for over-exertion.
• Improve Reputation – Modifying a commercial building to make it more welcoming can boost a company’s reputation. A mobility-challenged customer will definitely appreciate all the efforts to provide accommodation. They will love visiting a commercial building with widened pathways and doors, motion sensor features, and a wheelchair lift that can improve accessibility.

Commercial wheelchair lifts make public or commercial buildings accessible and compliant with ADA and state building codes. These systems allow wheelchair users to enjoy reliable, safe low-rise travel in these buildings without leaving the comfort of their assistive device.

It’s common for people to lose their mobility as they get older. With age, things like a set of stairs can become difficult to navigate. When the stairs become a challenge, some may consider downsizing to a single-level home or moving into a retirement living facility. The good news is, those aren’t the only options.

Age in place with a home stair lift 

Installing a stair lift provides a quick and cost-effective solution to easily getting up and down stairs. No one should feel like they’ve lost access to their home. For those with older loved ones, it can also ease the worry that they may fall and get hurt.

Stair lifts are versatile, as well. They aren’t just limited to straight staircases. You can also install them on curved staircases as well. Need to get into your home from a set of outside stairs? No problem, there are also stair lifts that are designed to be used outside.

Here are six important benefits of installing a residential stair lift

1. Restores Independence – With the installation of a stair lift, seniors can regain a sense of independence they may have lost due to not being able to access their entire home. Stair lifts provide a safe and easy way to access basements and upstairs areas without assistance. There is a certain confidence in knowing everything you need is within reach.
2. A Safer Home – Stair lifts are the safest way to get up and down stairs. Most stair lift models are equipped with safety features like safety belts and a comfortable chair that provides a safe ride. The lift stops operating if there is any obstruction in its path or if the armrest and footrest aren’t in the right position. These are all important precautions to ensure the stair lift itself doesn’t become a hazard. Most stair lifts even come with a lock switch that prevents the chair from being used by children.
3. Not Bulky – Some people may think of stair lifts as taking up an entire staircase, but that’s not the case. Stair chair lifts are fixed close to the edge between the stairs and the wall. They take up as little space as possible, allowing other people to walk up and down the stairs whenever they need to. Most stair lifts achieve this by having foldable seats and footrests which can be easily tucked away when the chair is not in use.  For example, the Bruno Elan can fit on staircases as narrow as 18 inches wide!
4. Easy to Use – Stair lifts are easy to operate. Even new users can get a stair lift operating in just a few seconds. Most stair lifts automatically stop when they reach the top, but they can also be manually stopped halfway up to return if the user changes their mind. Many stair lifts even include a remote control option, which is helpful if more than one person needs to use the lift. If a person is at the top landing of the staircase and the lift is at the bottom, the chair can be called with the press of a button.
5. Cost-effective and Quick Installation – Stair lifts are surprisingly affordable accessibility devices. Part of that is due to how quickly they can be installed. In most cases, installation can be done in two to three hours. If you only temporarily need a stair lift, they can be easily removed as well.
6. Stair Lifts are Customizable – Stair lifts are not a one-size-fits-all solution. For example, curved stair lifts are custom-made to fit the twists and turns of the individual staircase. In certain cases, stair lifts can be customized with different looks and functionality.

We here at National Seating & Mobility provide everything people need for an exceptional experience, including in-home evaluations, a range of products to choose from, excellent installation support, and training once the stair lift is installed. Our expert technicians will assess all the different aspects like the width, length and design of the staircase to ensure the perfect fitting stair lift is installed.

Everyone deserves access to their whole home. By installing a stair lift, anyone can comfortably and safely go up and down the stairs independently.

If your loved ones have mobility issues, taking care of them involves serious responsibility. Providing a safe environment for them to move around freely is important. Many older adults have mobility issues that may be the result of poor eyesight, weakness in the legs, loss of balance, injury, arthritis, and other health conditions. In fact, for people with mobility issues, going up and down stairs could pose risks of falls and injury. Installing a stairlift can be a real lifesaver for people who cannot use the stairs without assistance. Stairlifts not only improve mobility but also provide users with a sense of independence, allowing them to move from one floor of the house to another without assistance. Apart from being convenient and fast, these devices can dramatically reduce the chances of falling down the stairs.

Modern stairlifts are very safe and reliable when used correctly. As with any mechanical device, they can cause serious injury if not handled correctly. National Seating & Mobility offers stair chair lifts equipped with several advanced safety features. If you have a stair chair lift at home or if you are planning to install one for your loved ones, it is important to familiarize yourself with the equipment’s basic safety features. Discussed below are some important safety precautions you should keep in mind when using a stairlift –

• Capacity: one person – Lifts have a weight limit. Stairlifts are designed to carry only one person at a time. Never attempt to carry more than one person, including children. Make sure to never exceed the maximum weight limit specified in the user’s manual.
• Keep the staircase obstacle-free – Even without a stairlift in place, stairs can become dangerous when toys or clothes are left on them, or when they have torn carpeting or loose boards. These objects can also impact stairlifts and cause them to get stuck.
• Ensure visibility around the stairs – Improving the visibility surrounding the stairs is one of the first things to do before your install your lift. The area surrounding the stairs must be well lit. Using a number of small lamps facing directly at the steps would be ideal. Try to use lighting to create a path as well. Be sure to make the floors below and above the staircase as visible as possible.
• Have a stable surface – Decorating the floor with carpets does look stylish. However, it is important to arrange the carpet so that it lies flat. A messy carpet may be dangerous or may cause elderly people with mobility issues to fall. Going on or off a stairlift can be dangerous if you are stepping on a carpet or rug. Always wear slippers or similar shoes with a grip for stability.
• Keep it clean – Dust or liquids could cause the stairs to become slippery and damage the stairlift. Don’t drink (or let any type of liquid) near the stairlift.
• Beware of Loose Items – Make sure that loose items are kept clear of the stairlift. Scarves, long skirts, blankets, and long jackets could become trapped under the mechanism, causing personal injury or damaging the stairlift.
• Never let children use the stairlift without supervision – Make sure that children do not play with the equipment or use it without adult supervision. Stairlifts come with a child-proof immobilization feature that prevents the child from using the stairlift without proper supervision.
• Fold the Seat – Stairlifts are designed with foldable seats to make sure that they don’t get in the way of people who are using the stairs. It is important to fold the seat after each use to avoid tripping over.

Safety is paramount when it comes to using a stairlift. When used properly, a stairlift will provide you and your family many years of reliable mobility. It is important that the device you choose has all the necessary safety features. Stop using the stairlift if any of the features don’t work, if the device starts behaving strangely, or if any signs of wear and tear become visible. Getting the stairlift regularly checked by a professional will ensure that works well all the time.

Mobility issues can change the way people operate in day-to-day life, even in familiar outdoor spaces like backyards. Accessing outdoor or steep spaces in backyards would be hazardous, and it may be overwhelming to try and adapt. Wheelchair ramps allow people with mobility challenges to enjoy the freedom of the outdoors. Here are some tips to make your backyard wheelchair accessible –

• Make everything level – One of the most important ways to create a mobility-friendly backyard is to make everything level. Keep your walkways and sitting area flat for easy mobility. Landings should be flat and level. Provide a rail or wall at the top so the user does not go off the side. Don’t forget to provide handrails along the entire length of the wheelchair ramp on both sides. In addition, provide a gradual transition between the ramp and its landing for optimal safety.
• Wide paths – Generally, wheelchair require a wider path than that for walking needs. Even people using walkers use more space than a single-track walkway provides. Therefore, when designing your backyard, make sure to make paths extra wide and ensure your plants don’t spill over onto the path.
• Degree of incline – Steep ramps are dangerous not only because they are difficult to climb, but also because there is a high risk of a wheelchair tipping backwards. The lower the ramp, the safer and easier it will be to use.
• Install concrete – Consider the material you use for walkways and paths. Paving stones have spaces between them where wheelchairs and walkers can get stuck. Gravel is prone to causing slips or falls, especially among people who using crutches. As wood is usually is made from slats (with spacing in-between them), this can cause both wheelchair wheels and walkers to get stuck. In addition, wood when become wet become a slipping hazard as well. However, the best option is to choose concrete – a disability-friendly material. Flat in nature and with no cracks, concrete is slip- resistant, long lasting and easy to walk on and roll over.
• Weather conditions – Consider the location where the ramp will be set up. Outdoor ramps in areas like backyards that get a lot of rain or snow should provide good traction. They should also be weather resistant. No matter, where the ramp is located, it should have a non-skid surface to keep users safe in any type of weather. In addition, preventing accumulation of water on ramps and landings should be top priority when designing and constructing a ramp.
• Indoor space – Having a great entry way into your home from your backyard can be extremely convenient for those in wheelchairs and walkers. Some homes are built with a tiny step to the outside, and in this case, investing in a threshold ramp would be the ideal option. These ramps are small, simple, and sturdy, allowing anyone with mobility issues enter and exit a doorway easily.
• Install ramps or platform lifts – In some cases, it is not possible to manipulate your backyard or access points. Installing wheelchair ramps or platform lifts in the backyard can make it accessible for those in wheelchairs. For instance, if you have natural hills or valleys in the yard, installing a ramp would make sense to get those in wheelchairs or those with mobility issues from one place to another. If your deck is on the second level of your home, a platform lift will allow a wheelchair user to be raised and lowered from one level to the other.

Going by these tips can make your backyard wheelchair accessible. National Seating & Mobility is a licensed supplier of accessibility equipment, offering top quality ramps and stair lifts from leading manufacturers, as well as services of skilled and full-time service technicians who can guide you every step of the way, right from choosing the right product to installing it efficiently.
