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. 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? call/ health care/ organizations/ they /can direct /you/ some volunteers /do it/ for free I do not known the answer to your question but I just wanted to bring one more thing to your attention. My father in law was building a wheel chair ramp for his wife and did not have a building permit and was sited for that. Just want to make sure all your bases are covered. call your mothers ins. co and ask if it is covered. to be honest i really don't think it is. you may need to find help elswhere. one might have to be made for her home you may ask some one at home depot for instructions |
