- SHShanice HunterDec 12, 20255.0I am truly thankful for the team at Med X Change, LLC. I urgently needed to get a ramp for my father that was being discharged from rehab. The team was immediately responsive and helpful in assessing what length ramp I would need. They even allowed the flexibility to rent a ramp to see how it would work. I even was allowed to swamp out the size ramp I rented for another one. This team is heaven sent especially Meghan! After renting for one week I was able to purchase the ramp over the phone. I have experienced much ease with working with them and I will highly recommend. 10 out of 10 service! I am forever thankful for the help. My dad is now able to get in and out the house with ease which is a huge relief. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Med X Change LLC
Why would I choose a vertical platform lift over a ramp?
Vertical platform lifts are preferable in situations with limited space or higher elevations. They are an excellent solution for challenging entries like porches or decks. Compared to modular ramps, which require one foot of ramp for every inch of rise as per ADA regulations, vertical platform lifts are more compact. They are also often considered more visually appealing than aluminum modular ramps. For individuals with mobility disabilities, which affect 12.2% of American adults according to the CDC, vertical platform lifts can be an ideal choice for overcoming stairs.
What happens if my lift needs repair?
Med X Change LLC provides comprehensive repair services for all equipment, including lifts. Our certified technicians are capable of diagnosing and repairing the lifts we sell, as well as most other brands. Repairs can be performed either at our service center or at your location for your convenience. Please be aware that on-site service calls may incur an additional fee. For dependable lift repair services, please contact our team.
How safe is a stair lift?
Stair lifts are designed with mandatory safety features by all manufacturers. These include chairs equipped with armrests and safety belts to ensure the user remains secure and comfortable. Multiple safety stop sensors are installed to halt the stair lift if any obstruction is detected in the tracks or beneath the chair, providing an additional layer of safety.
Can the stairs be used in a normal capacity with a stair lift installed?
Yes, stairs can still be used normally with a stair lift installed. The lift's track occupies only a small portion of the staircase, allowing for easy passage. The chair, including its seat, handrails, and footplate, can be folded up to maximize space for regular stair use. While most individuals should have no difficulty navigating the stairs, some adjustment may be necessary when carrying larger items around the stair lift.

How does a lift chair differ from a typical reclining sofa chair?
A power reclining lift chair combines the comfort of a typical recliner with assistive technology for elderly or physically challenged individuals. It can be adjusted with a simple button press, unlike standard recliners that require manual adjustment and physical strength. Power lift chairs typically offer more recline options than standard recliners, depending on the chosen model. They provide similar assistance to stair lifts in enhancing mobility and independence.
What factors do I need to consider when purchasing a lift chair?
When selecting a lift chair, consider the required positions, frequency and duration of use, and whether you'll be sleeping in it. For extended use or sleeping, an infinite position or zero gravity chair may be more suitable. For less frequent use, a basic 2 or 3 position chair might suffice. Other important factors include fabric type, user size and weight, and available options. Fabric choice may depend on factors such as perspiration or incontinence. For guidance on selecting the right lift chair, please contact our team.
Why are power recline lift chairs more expensive than a regular recliner?
Power recline lift chairs command a higher price due to their electric motor operation, enhanced comfort features, multiple position options, and additional functionalities compared to standard recliners. Leading manufacturers use premium materials in their construction to ensure durability and longevity. For information about our selection of high-quality lift chairs, please reach out to our team.
What is the difference between a 3-wheel and 4-wheel scooter?
A 3-wheel scooter offers superior maneuverability in confined spaces and often includes anti-tip wheels for added safety and stability. In contrast, a 4-wheel scooter provides a larger floorboard for increased foot space and enhanced stability due to its wider base. For assistance in choosing between mobility scooters or other mobility aids, please contact our team.
How long will the batteries last per full charge on a scooter?
Battery life per charge varies based on factors such as user weight, terrain, travel speed, and battery age. Under typical conditions, our experts estimate that a full charge can provide a range of six to over 30 miles, depending on the specific scooter model. For detailed information about our range of mobility scooters and their battery performance, please consult with our professional team.
