Her knees are too bad for her to walk down her steps and her laundry room is in her shed....at the bottom of her stairs. Her health is not good enough to have her knees replaced. The doctors fear she would not survive surgery. How can I find her financial aid for the ramp.
My Dad has one of those walkers, he loves it, but he learned quickly to use the basket under the seat to carry things.... if he met up with a slope, anything on the seat would slide off. But the basket under the seat isn't large enough for much laundry.
Food for thought.
I'm wondering which specific group you used - I'm thinking they might be able to help with some ramp issues/needs at my father's home.
There are more posts on retrofitting through this link:

There was a recent post, in the last few days if I remember correctly, in which other sources of help were listed but I haven't yet been able to find it.
This might help with providing some suggestions.
I'm wondering about the feasibility and logistics of a ramp in a limited area though; the ramp needs to conform to certain slope ratios, which might be difficult between a house and an existing shed.
I also wonder how she would manage to get the laundry back up to the house.
Perhaps you or she could find someone to help her with that chore?
