When you contact All American Mobility for a free in-home accessibility assessment, you’re taking the first and most important step toward making your home safer and more comfortable. The process is simple, professional, and focused entirely on your individual needs. Our team specializes in evaluating your home environment to identify solutions that enhance independence, without unnecessary equipment or costly renovations.
Why an In-Home Assessment Matters
Every home is different. Door widths, porch heights, and entry layouts can all affect how equipment fits and functions. A professional assessment ensures that any recommended product, from ramps to lifts, works safely within your space. By visiting your home, our trained specialists can see challenges firsthand, saving you time and money later.
Step 1: Scheduling Your Appointment
You can schedule an assessment by calling or submitting a request through the All American Mobility website. We’ll confirm a date and time that fits your schedule. During this call, we’ll gather basic details about your needs:
- Whether you use a wheelchair, scooter, or powerchair
- Entry and doorway heights
- Any specific mobility goals
- Who will be using the equipment
This helps our team arrive prepared with the right knowledge and recommendations.
Step 2: The On-Site Walkthrough
Your mobility specialist will tour the key areas of your home, typically entries, garages, decks, and interior transitions. They’ll measure:
- Entryway height and landing depth
- Door widths and turning space
- Yard slope and surface conditions
- Vehicle clearance (if assessing for a lift)
You’ll discuss how you enter and exit the home each day, where challenges occur, and which improvements would make life easier.
Step 3: Discussing Options
Once the measurements are complete, your specialist will review what’s possible within your home’s layout and your budget. Common recommendations may include:
- Wheelchair ramps: aluminum or modular for shorter rises
- Vertical platform lifts: for higher porches or limited yard space
- Stair lifts: for multi-level access inside the home
- Vehicle lifts: for transporting mobility devices safely
- Braun Turny Seats: for easier transfers into SUVs or trucks
Each recommendation includes a clear explanation of cost range, installation process, and any preparation needed before installation.
Step 4: Understanding Safety and Code Compliance
All American Mobility follows ADA and residential safety standards for every installation. During your assessment, the specialist will explain how slope ratios, guardrails, and landing requirements affect design. Being CAPS certified (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist) means we ensure every recommendation meets both safety codes and long-term usability goals.
Step 5: Reviewing Your Estimate
After your visit, you’ll receive a written estimate detailing all proposed equipment, installation labor, and optional add-ons. There are no hidden fees. The assessment is free, and you’re under no obligation to move forward. Many customers appreciate seeing all their options clearly laid out before deciding.
Step 6: Preparing for Installation
If you choose to move forward, your installer will confirm the timeline, handle any permits if required, and coordinate delivery. Most accessibility projects, like ramps or lifts, can be installed in a single day once approved depending on the complexity of the install. Your specialist remains your main point of contact from start to finish.
