Aged Care Ramps – Supporting Independent Living
- Australian Made
- 100% Recycled Rubber
- No Drilling Required
- NDIS Registered
As we age, the home we’ve lived in for years can start to present unexpected challenges. A door threshold that was never a problem suddenly becomes a trip hazard. The step into the shower becomes risky. The back door lip catches a walker wheel. These small barriers can lead to falls – the leading cause of injury-related hospitalisation for Australians over 65.
Ramps R Us helps elderly Australians stay safely in their own homes by eliminating these access barriers with custom rubber ramps. Our ramps are specifically designed for the needs of older adults, whether they’re walking independently, using a walker, or transitioning to a wheelchair.
Common Fall Hazards We Eliminate
- Raised door thresholds and weather strips at external doors
- Step-over lips at shower and bathroom entries
- Height changes between rooms (e.g., tiled kitchen to carpeted living room)
- Sliding door tracks that catch feet and walker wheels
- Small steps at laundry, garage, and patio entries
Each of these common household features represents a real fall risk. Our custom rubber ramps replace these abrupt height changes with gentle, slip-resistant slopes that are easy to walk over, wheel over, or navigate with a walker.
Designed for Walkers and Mobility Aids
Many of our aged care clients use walking frames, rollators, or four-wheeled walkers. These mobility aids are essential for independence, but their small front wheels can easily catch on even minor floor transitions. Our ramps are designed with gentle gradients that allow walker wheels to roll smoothly over, without the jarring bumps and catches that make everyday movement difficult and tiring.
Ageing in Place – Why It Matters
Most older Australians want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. The familiarity, comfort, and independence of home are irreplaceable. But staying at home safely often requires modifications as mobility changes over time.
Rubber ramps are one of the most practical and cost-effective modifications you can make. They’re far less expensive than bathroom renovations or structural ramp builds, they require no council approval, and they can be installed in a single visit. If circumstances change – if you move to a different home or no longer need the ramps – they can simply be removed with no damage to the property.
My Aged Care & Home Care Package Funding
If you’re receiving support through a Home Care Package (HCP) or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), your rubber ramps and grab rails may be fundable through these programs. We can provide quotes and documentation to support your application.
We also work with occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and aged care coordinators who are assessing home modification needs for their clients.
