When it became impossible for Jerry Dobbs to climb the stairs of his two-story home, he turned to Katy-based LiveWell Mobility and Modifications. But the solution they came up with was not without its problems.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a nebulous disease that affects the central nervous system. It affects various parts of the body in varying ways, so symptoms can be unnoticed by others and vary from time to time. Some people are symptom-free most of the time, while others suffer from severe pain, fatigue, weakness and incoordination, spasticity, cognitive issues and vision issues.

In the initial stages of MS the symptoms could be visible to others. These include difficulty walking, an alteration in the style of walking, uncontrolled movements, muscle stiffness, or problems with coordination and balance as well as numbness or pins-and-needles, and an sensitivity to heat and cold. It is important to monitor these symptoms and notify your doctor or healthcare professional in the event that they change.

As the condition worsens, symptoms may become more severe and lead to muscle spasticity and weakness, which can cause a person's muscles to become out of control, particularly when standing or sitting. They may also suffer from mood swings and fatigue that can hinder their ability to work or engage in social activities. Certain people develop secondary progressive MS, which is more severe than primary MS with Relapses. It can cause muscle weakness and paralysis to become worse over time.

There's no way to prevent or cure MS, but it's important to stay active and take steps to decrease the risk of injury by following the advice in our safety guides. It's also important to make regular appointments with your MS nurse or GP and to notify any new symptoms promptly.

Stairlifts

Stairlifts can help a person navigate their home with ease and safety. They can be positioned on straight or curved staircases and function by attaching tracks at the top and bottom. When the stair lift is activated, it is lifted up onto the tracks and then driven up or down the stairs by motors attached to the track. The user only needs to fold down the seat and footrest and secure the safety belt and press the button to start the stairlift moving.

The stairlift is able to be sent to the top of the stairs, or returned by the user using the remote control. This feature is especially useful for people who are alone at the top of the stairs. It can prevent them from falling down the stairs or getting into a danger zone where they are unable to climb back up.

Some stair lifts also have seats that face towards the front instead of the side, which may be more comfortable for people who have stiff knees or narrow staircases. These models may also be more appropriate for people who aren't able to bend to sit down in a seated position due to their limited mobility.


A stairlift can help someone with Parkinson's maintain their independence throughout their entire home and allow them to access their kitchen, laundry room and other areas that would otherwise be out of reach. In addition the stairlift can give a peace of mind that comes from knowing they can safely navigate their home even when their symptoms become more severe. Adding a stair lift to your home will greatly improve your living conditions, so don't hesitate to discuss your options with a knowledgeable mobility equipment dealer.

Vertical Platform Lifts

If someone in your household is wheelchair-bound it can be a challenge or even impossible. A stairlift can provide safe access to different floors and increase the value of your home.

A vertical platform lift installed on the floor can be used to enhance mobility. This makes it easier to transfer between floors. These types of lifts are often seen on decks and porches but they can also be used indoors too. As opposed to elevators that require pits and shaft, through-floor lifts install directly into the floor of your home and are therefore less costly and more visually appealing.

Cerebral Palsy can be different in the severity. Some patients might be in a position to walk but require assistance getting into and out of the bed. LiveWell can help with a range of home accessibility products, including bathroom lifts and Hoyer Lifts. We also offer vertical platforms lifts or porch lifts that are ideal to transfer between the home and garage, deck or patio. These lifts feature an open platform for a person to walk on prior to going up or down, and require less space than ramps.

Wheelchair Ramps

A wheelchair ramp is a device that helps people to get into and out of their homes, vehicles, and other buildings. They can be semi-permanent or permanent and constructed from concrete, aluminum or wood. They can be constructed in accordance with ADA standards, and they are often able accommodate other mobility aids such as scooters and walkers. Wheelchair ramps can be bought from various disability and medical equipment stores, or via the internet. In addition, connecting with local disability organizations can be a helpful resource for finding ramps. They may have networks and partnerships with reliable suppliers who provide high-quality ramps at reasonable cost.

Threshold ramps are designed so that they sit flush against a threshold or curb of a door. They help individuals with wheelchairs, scooters and walker get around these obstacles. These ramps are usually made of aluminum and are available in tri-fold or bi-fold versions. Full Post are not fully ADA compatible and don't have railings. However they are ideal for residential use.

Home wheelchair ramps are constructed from concrete or wood and are generally permanent structures that require a building permit in order to build. They can be built to ADA standards, or based on the specific requirements of an individual. They are an excellent option for people who do not wish to buy a van equipped with ramps.

Portable wheelchair ramps are made in a variety of materials, such as aluminum, foam, rubber and pressure-treated or natural wood. Some wheelchair ramps for portable wheelchairs are lightweight, foldable and the size of a small suitcase. They are easy to transport and carry. They can be used to increase accessibility at home, or when travelling to houses of friends vacation rentals, homes, or other locations.

Bathroom Modifications

The bathroom can be one of the most challenging rooms for disabled or elderly people to navigate. Many mobility solutions companies offer a variety of bathroom adjustments to make the room more accessible and safer. These modifications can range from simple, inexpensive options like removing throw rugs to prevent slips and falls to more permanent fixtures such as installing wheelchair-accessible ramps or grab bars in the bath for stability.

Occupational therapists often suggest bathroom modifications that can reduce risk and increase comfort for those with disabilities. Installing a higher seat on the toilet can help reduce stress and allow people to remain standing for longer durations. Moving the position of faucet levers can also reduce the strain on wrists and hands when washing or dressing.

Modifications to bathtubs and showers can range from a simple stepless base installation to alter the threshold of a bathtub to a complete bathroom remodeling with an accessible, barrier-free shower for those using a wheelchair or walker. These modifications can lower the chance of accidents that could be dangerous and improve the independence of those with disabilities.

Installing a bath transfer seat, that can be used to sit on while showering or bathing is a different way to ensure that bathrooms are safe. Adding non-slip floor tiles to the tub or shower, and lowering the sink's height can help avoid accidents in this potentially dangerous area. Keeping the path to the bathroom clear and well-lit is a way to reduce the chance of accidents and ensure that everyone can safely use the bathroom.
