Frequently Asked Questions About Single fold Coated Ramp
What types of wheelchair ramps are available?
+
Wheelchair ramps include portable folding ramps, threshold ramps for doorways, modular aluminum ramps, semi-permanent wooden ramps, and permanent concrete ramps. Selection depends on height needed, frequency of use, and whether permanent installation is possible.
How long should a wheelchair ramp be?
+
The recommended slope for wheelchair ramps is 1:12 (one inch of rise per foot of ramp length). For a 24-inch rise, you need a 24-foot ramp. Steeper slopes may work for assisted use but are difficult for independent wheelchair users.
Are wheelchair ramps covered by ADP?
+
Wheelchair ramps are generally not covered by Ontario's ADP. However, funding may be available through Ontario March of Dimes, Veterans Affairs, ODSP Special Diet/Home Modification, or municipal accessibility grants. Contact Westin Healthcare for guidance.
What is a threshold ramp?
+
A threshold ramp is a small, portable ramp designed to bridge raised doorway thresholds (typically 1-3 inches). They're lightweight, easy to install, and help wheelchairs and walkers move smoothly over door thresholds without tripping hazards.
Can portable ramps be used on stairs?
+
Single-fold or multi-fold portable ramps can bridge short stair entries (1-3 steps). For longer staircases, you need either multiple ramp sections creating a longer run with landings, or a stairlift/porch lift. Ramps over stairs must meet proper slope ratios.
What is the ADP (Assistive Devices Program)?
+
The Assistive Devices Program is an Ontario government program that helps people with long-term physical disabilities pay for customized equipment. ADP covers up to 75% of the cost of approved devices like wheelchairs, scooters, hospital beds, and patient lifts.
Is Westin Healthcare an authorized ADP vendor?
+
Yes, Westin Healthcare is a fully authorized ADP vendor in Ontario. We handle all ADP paperwork, coordinate assessments, and ensure you receive the maximum funding available. We also work with ODSP, WSIB, Veterans Affairs, and private insurance.
What equipment is covered by ADP?
+
ADP covers mobility aids (wheelchairs, scooters, walkers), patient lifts, hospital beds, therapeutic mattresses, communication devices, and other assistive technology. Each category has specific approval criteria. Contact Westin Healthcare to confirm coverage for your needed equipment.
How do I apply for ADP funding?
+
As an authorized ADP vendor, Westin Healthcare handles the entire application process. We coordinate with your healthcare provider for the required assessment, submit paperwork to ADP, and process your equipment order once approved. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks.
