Questions & Answers
Question : Does anyone know who I can contact to have a wheelchair ramp built?
I live on a fixed income due to my dissability and cant afford to pay anyone or get a loan to have one built. Any sugestions would be very helpfull.
Answer:
Contact your local Boy Scout Troop. Eagle candidates need to do a service project. They are always on the look out for appropriate tasks. This is exactly the kind of thing they like to do. The only drawback is there is some lag time, because the project needs to be approved by the BSA regional people, before the work can get started. They can fund raise and will work under trained adult supervision. You can even take some satisfaction in that you're helping some hard-working kid achieve a pretty difficult goal.

Question : Wheelchair Ramp-A contractor is building a wheelchair accessibility ramp ?
(see figure) for a business. Using your knowledge of right-triangle trigonometry, help advise him how to create a ramp whose dimensions will meet the specification needed that will allow wheelchair accessibility. Talk about the procedure the contractor will need to follow to find the dimensions of the three sides and the measurements of the three angles. Consider the implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in your discussion and provide an example.
Answer:
Basic issue is the maximum safe ramp angle. If you know the height difference then you can find the length of ramp by the following relationship:ramp length = (height change) / sin (ramp angle)suppose the height difference is 4 ft, and safe maximum ramp angle is 10 degree (I don't know this angle is correct, you need to look this up at ADA website). Then the length of ramp is:ramp length = 4 / sin 10 = 23 ft.

Question : How can I build a simple, portable yet safe wheelchair ramp?
We have 4 stairs and I'd love to find a way for my sister who needs a wheelchair to come visit us. I don't need a permanant structure, she would come only 2 -3 times per year if we could get her up some kind of ramp.
Answer:
if you would like to build one you can go too http://www.instructables.com/id/ECJY5ZWGOMEP286QWG/ for plans or you can buy one at http://www.portable-wheelchair-ramps.com/

Question : Liability for having Renters Build Wheelchair Ramp?
We're renting a house that has no wheelchair accessibility. Their last house they said didn't have ramps either and that their son built them. My G/F and I, as landlords, are wondering the legality of allowing the family to build this ramp and how we can put it somewhere in the lease that avoids us from being liable 100%.Rita, thanks. Most of my question was in regards to them building it themselves.
Answer:
By law, you must allow handicap modifications if you rent the property to someone in a wheelchair. As part of your lease, you should (for all renters) require renters insurance to cover their belongings together with any potential liability that may arise because of their tenancy. You should also require that the ramp be built to code (whatever the local laws require as far as handrails, etc.). In addition, you can require the ramp be removed upon termination of the lease.

Question : Is the cost of building a wheelchair ramp tax deductible if I am renting the home?
My wife and I paid our own money to add a wheelchair ramp to a home that we are renting. I'm quite sure that this cost would be deductible if we owned the home, but I'm not clear about our status with this as renters. Is it spelled out clearly someplace?
Answer:
While its not really relevant to this question, homeowners can only include capital improvements for medical reasons (ie: a wheelchair ramp) in medical expenses to the extent which the cost of the improvement exceeds the increase in home value due to the improvement.

Question : We need to get a removable wheelchair ramp for a height of 75cm, any ideas of minimum lengths?
It's hardly ever going to be used and there would be people to assist. We are just trying to work out how long it needs to be to make the gradient workable.
Answer:
There are standards for this and I'll have a look for you. British Standard 8300 couild be the one to go for.....Section 5.8.10:Portable ramps should have a surface width of at least 800 mm, adrainable, slip-resistant surface and upstands at least 100 mm high toprevent wheelchair tyres veering off the edge5.8.2 Gradient of a rampA ramp should have the lowest practical gradient within the range 1:20 to 1:12.The gradient of a ramp flight in relation to its going should be no steeper than that shown in Table 1.Table 1....Going up: Not exceeding 2mMaximum Gradient: 1:12 which I think is a bit shallow but that is what it says

Question : how do you find volunteers to build a wheelchair ramp for my wife who is disabled .?

Answer:
Check with local service clubs such as Kiwanis, Rotary, JayCees, Boy Scouts, etc. Perhaps a local church & it's members may offer to help. Good hearted people & volunteers are in every community. They just need to know who needs help. Perhaps you could get your local newspaper to put out an appeal?

Question : Any one know of a volunteer group that will build a wheelchair ramp for an elderly of 85 years old?
Eva is 85 and her daughter is 61. They haven't been able to hug one another for years because neither of them can navigate the stairs anymore. I'm looking for a volunteer program in Colorado (Watkins), that can build a ramp for them. Mom (Eva) has several complications and is basically a shut in and the daughter has rheumatoid arthritis and can't get up the steps. Any ideas will be totally appreciated. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to all of you in Answers land.
Answer:
Check with the boy scouts, as that could be a merit badge for them

Question : Wheelchair Ramp?
Ok, my friends mother recently suffered a mild stroke. She has had several as well as other health complications and the reality is if not now, very soon she is going to need a wheelchair ramp. She lives in Illinois, zip code 60411, and is on medicaid and medicare. I imagine if she is completely wheelchair bound the doctor would give her a prescription or something for the ramp. Anyways, just wondering where I could find some information and what the best way going about getting a wheelchair ramp would be and if medicare and medicaid would cover it, thank you.
Answer:
Our church paid for someone to build my mom a ramp. If your mom belongs to a church then try contacting them. Could this also possibly be an eagle scout project?
