Handicap and Disability Vans in Sarasota, FL

Using a handicap van, whether in Sarasota, FL, or elsewhere, can present some unique challenges. With the variety of handicap vans we have plus our years of experience, our team at P&A Mobility can help you think through a variety of scenarios so that you are getting the right wheelchair van for your needs. You will need to make sure that you have the right measurements for the person in the wheelchair so you can find the right van to accommodate these dimensions. Additionally, you'll want to keep in mind that your wheelchair van will be either a side load (with some having access on both sides) or the entrance will be from the back of the van. Each has pluses and minuses, and when you contact us about a handicap van we can help you understand them all better.

Say you are going on a short trip for a few days, and you need to be able to pack in luggage and a few other things in your wheelchair van. If you have a rear entry handicap van this can make packing up your van a bit more challenging versus a side-loading van. You should also be aware of the maintenance requirements for the added accessories in the van, and that you can't just take this to any service shop. You will likely need to make an appointment days or weeks before your van can have this specific maintenance.

Parking can also be a challenge in some places, especially if you have a side-loading handicap van. There may be only 1 or 2 handicapped spaces available, and with a side load van, these are almost a requirement. However, if you have a rear entry van, you can use a normal parking spot and still get everyone out without having to wait for a handicap spot.

It can be easy to become self-centered and not take into account all of the needs of the wheelchair-bound person. If that person doesn't feel comfortable with a given setup in a disability van, it is best to try out many other vehicles in Sarasota, Florida. At P&A Mobility we have several different wheelchair vans to inspect and try out, and this way you can try various options so that you know what you want with your handicap van.

Just because you are in a wheelchair doesn't mean that you can't take a road trip and see the country. In 1925, A. B. Edwards built a theater that could be adapted for either vaudeville performances or movie screenings. In 1952, Cecil B. DeMille filmed and premiered The Greatest Show on Earth (with James Stewart, Charlton Heston, and Betty Hutton) in Sarasota. Out of Time (2003), a crime drama starring Denzel Washington and Eva Mendes used the Blackburn Point Bridge, Boca Grande, and Cortez.
