When you invest in accessibility solutions for your home, business, or any other type of building, you want them to have long lifespans.

Many factors play into how well an access solution withstands time, such as the material it’s made with, but proper maintenance also impacts the lifespan of your accessibility equipment. EZ-ACCESS® has some tips to help you keep your access solutions in great shape as well as insight on how to minimize maintenance needs

As the average age across the population in the United States increases, there’s a growing push to recognize the needs and contributions of that group. Each May, the Administration for Community Living celebrates Older Americans Month. As an organization, its mission is to support the independence and inclusion of older adults in the community. No matter someone’s age or the difference in mobility that age may bring, older adults have the right to live independently and make choices about their lives.

For those with mobility differences, including anyone using a device such as a wheelchair or walker, travel has additional layers of planning.

We’ll discuss travel accessibility considerations and some recent improvements in accessibility that make visiting or vacationing easier.

Businesses and public spaces have a wide variety of people who visit and need to be able to navigate the space.

That’s why EZ-ACCESS® is here to help you explore your options.
