Office Updates

Staff continue to provide services remotely and meet with people in person as needed. We are excited to announce that we will be opening a second office! The new office will be located down in Adrian of Lenawee County. We look forward to having a physical office and the ability to easier serve the community. We are part of Project Ramp Lenawee, that group has already put up two ramps within Lenawee County.  Our partnership with Jackson Rotary Clubs continues to be strong as we get ready for our first ramp build scheduled to be constructed later this month.  If you know of someone that is no longer need of an aluminum ramp for their home, please give us a call and we will do our best to re-use it with someone in need.

We are looking forward to the supposed warm weather to show up and bring summer. Look for announcements in your email and on our Facebook for upcoming events and exciting opportunities to check out some cool stuff in the community.

Ramping Up the Outdoors

         In efforts to be more inclusive, ramps are more commonly being incorporated into all sorts of design. Not just a ramp beside a set of stairs either. Purposely using gradual slopes and ramps for ALL people to use. Creating a path for inclusive inter-generational usage. Anybody with mobility impairments, from seniors down to infants, all traveling on the same path to a destination.  

         Lookout viewing towers, beach access, waterfalls, and even tree canopies are all accessible thanks to thoughtful design and a desire to not exclude.  Let us know some of your favorite accessible places to take a trip.  We are always happy to share resources or provide information to people.

Ramp It Up

        Ramps at attractions are great for allowing people to enjoy what is offered, but what if they can't leave their home to even try exploring?   

         Be on the lookout soon for an important announcement on our new initiative to build more residential ramps for people with disabilities and how you can help make an impact. 

COVID Vaccines

If you want any COVID vaccine dose, but are unable to leave the home because of a disability, give us a call and follow the prompts. We are helping people looking for COVID vaccine doses and can help arrange an appointment or possibly schedule a time for someone to come to you.
