Veterans of our armed forces have sacrificed the quality of their lives in the service of our country. For many, this also means injury in the line of duty and a return to civilian life with disabilities, some that require a new dependence on a wheelchair for mobility. With the use of handicap vans, it is possible for many people to get out and enjoy life, or to live a higher quality of life than they would otherwise. Conversion vans are typically available with and automatic wheelchair ramp and automatic door which makes it ideal for easy entry and exit from the vehicle. Cost can be quite a hurdle yet there are benefits available from the Veteran’s Administration that makes it possible for most veterans to enjoy the accessible features of a handicap van.
Performance Mobility can help with those veterans requiring handicap vans by offering expert certified Mobility Consultants to assist in the evaluation of the equipment needs for these men and women to enable them to enjoy more of their freedom and independence. Factory trained and certified Service Technicians ensure that all of the installed equipment is properly fitted and serviced according to manufacturer requirements. The Mobility Consultants are also able to assist with accessing veteran benefits with a complete referral list of veteran advocates.
When it comes to obtaining handicap vans, Performance Mobility will work hand in hand with the veterans to get them the accessible transportation that is right for them. It can also mean working with care providers, such as therapists, physicians, care managers and adaptive driving instructors, to find the right type of vehicle for the veteran. Mobility Consultants are also able to assist with lenders for funding of any portion of the accessible van purchase that is not covered under veteran’s benefits.
With the use of handicap vans, veterans can get around better, do the things they want to do and live more independent lives with more personal freedom.
