Uncle Harold’s Story

By

It is my goal to reach and educate people with the knowledge of mobility and access equipment available BEFORE a catastrophic injury forces them to move out of their homes.
Or worse, are trapped in their home with no independence.

I Don’t Want ANYONE to
Live and Die Like This! Ever Again!

This is a true story.

I was in elementary school when my Uncle Harold, at the age of 50, had a major stroke which paralyzed his left side.

He spent the next 27 years, day after day, being moved from his bed in the morning to an overstuffed chair in the living room and back to his bed in the evening. He was never left alone and never left his home. He missed both his son’s weddings, the birth of his 5 grandchildren, all the family celebrations and gatherings. His teeth rotted and fell out because he had no way to get to the dentist. He was stuck in that chair immobile day after day with my aunt his primary care giver. When my aunt became too frail from cancer he was placed in a nursing home and died eight months before my aunt.

No one needs to live and die like that.

Please help me to realize my personal Dream:
No one Lives and Dies like this! EVER AGAIN!!!

If this happened today instead of, back in 1967, I would have made sure my Uncle Harold had a porch lift at the front door, a ramp off the back porch to the garden, a stairlift to his basement workshop, a vehicle lift for a power wheelchair, a turning automotive seat in his car, and a transfer lift to help my aunt get him in & out of bed.

Mobility Matters – Being Safe and Happy in Your Home Matters More

David and Joan of Rollin Along are in the business of keeping you safe and in your home for as long as you want to live in your home.

When I first met David, he was an electrical engineer in Silicon Valley. He worked on a project for two years, before the company scrapped the idea. He felt deep disappointment at not ever see his efforts through to fruition.

Rollin’ Along was created when David’s former wife, Lee’s, scooter broke down. The nearest repairperson was across the bridge in San Francisco up a flight of stairs. That’s why, in 1998 David created a mobile service. I joined David shortly after Lee’s death, driving to him to his destinations and helping with repairs.

Rollin’ Along rapidly expanded to installing lifts, ramps and accessibility equipment. David and I find great pleasure from helping people. The immediate rewards of big smiles from our clients when they “get their feet back” are priceless.

Rollin’ Along is your trusted source for providing quality products. Our expertise on what would work in your home, our honest straightforward communication and integrity makes it easy to work with us. When David was a youngster, he worked with his dad, Marvin in his inventor’s machine shop in Concord. He knows the look of a “brick outhouse”, and likes the look of sturdy reliable equipment. We provide high-quality installations of the best accessibility equipment available to people just like you. We have been doing just that for the people of the greater San Francisco Bay Area for 17 years.

What is a Safe Lift?

By

Picking up people is one of the more dangerous occupations in the world. People are awkward and do not come with built in handholds.
So, How do you know when you have entered that danger zone of “Picking people up?”

I offer this answer:

If the person can successfully transfer with just the aid of one arm, that is OK.

BUT if you need to use two hands to lift, you are likely over the limit of what is safe.

You then will really appreciate having a Transfer Lift to assist in that movement.

The Importance of Stair Lifts for San Francisco Arthritis Patients

By

According to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), an estimated 104,000 San Francisco residents are suffering from arthritis. Arthritis is one of the most common diseases that can affect a person’s mobility. Arthritis is not a single disease but rather a single term that covers more than a hundred medical conditions.

Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis that usually affects the elderly. This type of arthritis involves the loss of elasticity in the cartilage which causes it to become stiff. The cartilage is the body’s shock absorber so when one suffers from osteoarthritis, his cartilage is unable to protect his body, making it prone to damage. More severe cases of arthritis can land one in a wheelchair, thus highlighting the importance of stair lifts from San Francisco mobility services.

If one is wheelchair-bound, one of the biggest challenges is climbing stairs. Fortunately, there are many companies in San Francisco that specialize in mobility products like stair lifts. A stair lift is a mobility device used to carry a person up or down the stairs. The main power source is used to provide power to propel the lift, but backup batteries are also installed in case of power failure. Mobility companies like Rollin’ Along also provide onsite repair services in case the lift breaks down.

People with mobility problems are prone to injuries caused by falls. Therefore, a quality stair lift can help them avoid slipping or falling. They can go up and down the stairs with relative ease without worrying about missteps that could severely injure them.

Aside from preventing accidents, stair lifts also allow people with severe osteoarthritis to retain some level of independence. Reduced mobility can affect one’s social life and cause one to be totally dependent on others for moving around. It’s important for people with mobility problems to have independence so they can keep their self-esteem intact.

People with physical disabilities, like severe arthritis, may need assistance moving around in their home and performing simple tasks. This is why products such as stair lifts or transfer lifts from San Francisco companies like Rollin’ Along are great for them to have as these mobility products provide them with safety and a sense of independence.

We bring freedom to the entire Bay area!
