My parents’ home sits about 3 ft above the ground so it would require a very long ramp. Rick installed a lift that makes it so easy for my 83 year old mom (or any of us) to get my ailing father in the house. We’ve been using it 4 months now. It gives my parents a lot of freedom. ~ Rick responds quickly if we need something, but the lift is reliable so we don’t need much. (The great-grands are pretty excited about it, too. )
