Disabled singles across the globe are connecting with each other via the World Wide Web and romance and love is in the air every single season, not just Spring. But are you ready for companionship? There are times in your life when you aren’t meant to be in a relationship and remaining single is the best gift you can give yourself. How do you know if you’re prepared for a relationship?

Dating for disabled people can be a slightly tricky task. There are a lot of insecurities about one’s physical limitations that a person must overcome and of course there are even practical things to consider – like if a restaurant for a first date has handicap access, etc. What this means is some disabled singles are emotionally vulnerable and thus might end up getting their heart broken easily or settling for someone who is not a good match for them. Do you belong in this category?

When you’re looking for dating, you must make sure your self-esteem is intact! If you feel embarrassed or ashamed about your disability and you want to find out ways to minimize it as much as possible for your next date, then you are not ready to date, and certainly not ready for a long-term commitment. Only until you completely love and accept yourself, disability and all, can you begin to love and accept another human being. And frankly, you won’t fully enjoy a relationship if you’re not ready for it. If anything, it will simply add to your stress and anxiety in life.

Another question to ask is: have you recently ended a relationship? It’s not always safe to date if you’re on the rebound. The irony is those who have just lost a girlfriend or boyfriend often have a tremendous impulse to meet someone new to fill that void. The best strategy, however, is to spend time mourning the relationship; that is the only way you can truly move on from it and eventually welcome someone new into your life.

A last word of advice: relationships take time and energy. If you’re pursuing a demanding career or raising children and your relationship doesn’t help you do these things, but instead distracts you from them, then it might be time to put love on the side for now.

Hopefully you are indeed ready to use a disabled dating service, dating online is very exciting and if you are prepared for it, then you will surely see results.

A Special Dating Agency For Disabled People

Posted in Chair Lift For Stairs on January 17th, 2010 by Admin – Be the first to comment

With hundreds of disabled dating agencies available in the virtual world of the Internet today, the real world is not far behind. The dating agency for disabled people is playing a vital role in the disabled singles search for a partner.


In spite of the number of dating sites on offer, not everyone is comfortable with online dating. Some prefer a more real and personal contact where they can actually see the other person. A dating agency caters to this need of disabled and non-disabled people alike.


For most disabled singles, their primary support comes from their families and close friends. However in their concern for their loved one, families can become overprotective and intrusive when the individual starts dating. The individuals right to privacy and freedom to decide may be completely overridden by the familys fear that he or she might get hurt. This is when help from a dating agency is welcomed.


A dating agency can help disabled people in a number of ways. It plays the role of a supportive but neutral friend and helps the disabled single not only connect with potential partners but also helps them maintain the relationship. The agency takes time to get to know the clients and understand their disability and so are able to offer quality service.


A dating agency for disabled people usually offers the same facilities, which most other dating agencies also provide, like access to profiles and contacts of members, background checks and guidance. In addition to this, it also gives several supportive services. These include counselling, dating guidance and access to community resources. The agency may also organise gatherings for their members. These gatherings provide a social platform for members to meet in a non-threatening environment.


They get an opportunity to socialise in groups in a supervised setting that makes meeting new people less stressful. Most applicants to a dating agency for disabled people are required to undergo a detailed personal interview when they register. This helps the agency provide clear and accurate information about their members. For a service for disabled people this is very important, as sensitive handling and understanding of the issues surrounding a disability are key concerns. By gathering a lot of information about the individual, the agency also increases its chances of finding a well-suited and compatible match.


An appropriate dating agency for disabled people can be located through organisations for the disabled as well as the Internet and facilities like the yellow pages. Apart from general agencies there are also those that cater to a specific disability like multiple sclerosis (MS), physical disabilities, visual or hearing impairments.


In many countries, introduction and marriage bureaus require certification from a regulatory body. This ensures that the agency follows certain standard rules and does not cheat its clients with slipshod services. In the UK for example, The Association of British Introduction Agencies, sets the standards to be followed by introduction agencies and marriage bureaus.


A dating agency for disabled people that inspires confidence in its members and provides support can go a long way in changing lives.

Dating for Disabled People. Yes, It Is Possible

Posted in Chair Lift For Stairs on January 16th, 2010 by Admin – Be the first to comment

Dating for disabled people has been virtually non-existent until recent times. Historically, society has long overlooked the fact that disabled people too have a need for intimacy and sex. Perceived as being almost asexual, those living with an impairment have often found it difficult to find potential partners and form lasting intimate relationships. The more severe the impairment or condition, the more difficult is the situation.


Opportunities to date thus do not come by very easily for those living with disability or inhibiting medical conditions. This is especially true for those whose impairments limit their scope of socialising outside their immediate environment. In recent times the emergence of dating websites and agencies has changed the situation significantly and persons with disabilities are finding it easier to meet new people. For online daters a whole new community is accessible at the mere click of a mouse!


Dating for disabled people is very much the same as for anyone else. It has the same excitement, the same fears, the same initial awkwardness and the same rules and courtesies. What sets it apart though is the consideration and sensitivity that needs to be shown towards the impairment itself. For example, one might set up a dinner date at a fancy restaurant only to find that it makes no allowances for people in wheelchairs. Paying attention to such details definitely enhances the fun of dating.


The initial introductory phase of dating is vital for disabled people. This is when the partners are getting to know one another and are unsure of how sensitive the other is about the disability. At this time it is very common for one of the partners to actually ignore the disability altogether in trying to keep everything normal. And thus, by trying not to unknowingly hurt the others feelings often a partner may simply overlook the fact that there is actually an impairment involved!


At the other end of the spectrum is the partner who is so overly conscious about the disability that he or she makes allowances for it all the time. This can lead to the person with the impairment feeling completely inadequate rather than special!


Both these situations are unlikely to result in a long term relationship. While allowances have to be made to accommodate the limitations posed by the disability, they vary according to the nature and severity of the impairment itself. Thus, a successful partnership is formed when a balance is struck between knowing when to help and when to stand back.


When the partners do not share the same disability or when one of them is able bodied, having some knowledge of the others condition is always useful. This helps in deciding which courtesies to extend and which not to extend, in different situations. Dating then becomes fun and exciting for disabled people.


Online dating sites and dating agencies, together with organisations working with disabilities have all lent a hand in making dating easier for disabled people. As a result, today the situation is not as difficult as it used to be earlier and the future shows great promise.

Top Concerns About Dating That Worry Disabled People

Posted in Chair Lift For Stairs on January 13th, 2010 by Admin – Be the first to comment

Dating can be a fun and exciting way to make new friends and find that someone special. But at the same time it can be stressful, worrying and quite difficult!


All men and women share some basic concerns. The same dating worries plague disabled people too. But in addition there are some special concerns that revolve around disability itself.


A glance at the message board of any disabled dating site reveals the host of anxieties that cloud the horizon. Dating presents a real challenge for disabled people and queries range from handling the first date to fertility issues.


Some of the common concerns are -


Self consciousness – Feeling that everyone-is-looking-at-me is quite often a constant companion of disabled singles. However, for a relationship to work, both parties have to like the other for themselves. So, while the dating partner has to look beyond the disability, the disabled person too has to stop constantly trying to assess the others reactions!


Companionship – Most singles share this concern and for those living with a limiting disability, it is one of the primary reasons for entering into a dating relationship. Finding the right partner and coping with the future as a single are a constant worry. Hence combating feelings of loneliness and a need for companionship rank high on the list of concerns.


Attitudes towards the disabled – When dating able bodied persons, disabled people are concerned about how their disability will be received. Two people may have been connecting online for a while but when they decide to meet in person, both are worried about the disability angle. They are conscious that believing something in theory and being able to live out those beliefs in reality are different ball games altogether.


And hence the fear of whether the impairment will prove repulsive and how it will affect the relationship surfaces. The dating site Lovebyrd advises -You are not defined by your disability, so do not let your disability represent you on your date.


Sustaining long term relationships – Many of those who are in dating relationships wonder whether they will be able to sustain them in the long run. For the disabled in particular, the worry is how their partner will cope with the day-to-day challenges of living with a disability.


Sexual desirability and performance – While dating, disabled people tend to be very conscious of how desirable they appear to their partner. Feelings of inadequacy and low self-image raise their ugly heads and if these thoughts are not combated successfully they can hamper the relationship and prevent both partners from having a good time.


Sexual performance can be hampered by impairment and problems like impotency and loss of libido are very real. How this will impact the relationship depends on the strength of the bond formed earlier.


Fertility issues – Fertility problems and the possibility of not being able to have children are issues that many disabled people are challenged with. The dating relationship can be affected by this and the reaction of the partner becomes vital to the continuance of the alliance.


The only solution to this is an open discussion. Do not be afraid to voice your concerns – only then will you know what the person at the other end feels. Be confident about yourself and it will all work out!

Patient Hoists for the Disabled

Posted in Chair Lift For Stairs on January 13th, 2010 by Admin – Be the first to comment

Care providers are faced with numerous challenges daily. A patient hoist is often required where there is a lift and transfer need. For example to transfer a patient from a chair to a bed, into a bathtub or onto a toilet. Choosing a system designed with the carer and patient in mind is vital.
There are several hoisting systems available on the market and manufacturers worldwide are designing new hoists which make the lifting and transfer of patients an easier experience.

The question is: How do you choose which product is right for you?

Lift and transfer products fall into 3 main types. Ceiling Lifts (sometimes called Overhead hoists), Floor Lifts (hoists) and Wall Lifts (hoists).

Overhead Hoists

There are two types of overhead hoist, ceiling fixed track and portable track. A ceiling track hoist consists of a piece of rail/track which is permanently attached to the ceiling. The track can be fitted to timber joists if available or chemical fixed into concrete ceilings. If for any reason the ceiling can’t be used it may be possible to fasten the track to the wall.

With a ceiling fixed hoist there is less strain as no manual lifting is required. An overhead hoist uses no floor space, which eliminates storage concerns and provides a high lifting height from the floor. It is a versatile option which enables you to lift, reposition, weigh or help the user onto a toilet.

Full room access and to other rooms, through the door header is easily achievable and only 1 person (caregiver) is required to operate. Solo operation is also an option depending on the users abilitiesand the hoists can be mains or battery powered.

A ceiling fixed lift is easier to use than a floor lift, which can be difficult to manoeuvre if carpeting is an issue.

The following track configurations are available with ceiling hoists.

Straight Track, X-Y system or H Track, room to room track system, curves, Y junctions, turntables, gates, exchangers and portable tracks.

Mobile Floor Hoists

Floor hoists have been designed especially with the domestic care environment and patient in mind. Electric and hydraulic units are avilable. The following points include some of the benefits of having a portable floor hoist.

Floor lifts can be less expensive than ceiling lifts and are good for use in common care areas – as back-up to primary ceiling units. There is no track to install meaning no damage to your floor or walls and a lift from the floor is possible. This makes the floor hoist an excellent option for temporary use on holidays or for occasional visitor’s.

Wall Lift Hoists

The wall lift has been designed especially for home use and features the following benefits.

It is inexpensive, versatile and easy to install. The lift can be made portable with the use of additional wall brackets and is particularly useful in bathrooms where space can be at a premium. The unit is supplied with a water resistant control handset, electronics and circuit board.

As you can see the patient lifting market can be quite confusing owing to the vast array of options and manufacturers. If you are considering the purchase of this type of equipment I would recommend contacting 3 or 4 companies to ensure that you buy the right product for your situation.

A good piece of advice is to speak to an independent adviser who deals with more than one manufacturer. This way the salesman is going to give you an honest appraisal of the best equipment for you and not have to try and persuade to buy the only brand that he can sell.

I would also strongly urge you to meet with an occupational therapist or physiotherapist with expertise in this area as it is vitally important that you get the right solution for the end user.

Top questions to ask when you buy a disabled minibus

Posted in Chair Lift For Stairs on January 12th, 2010 by Admin – Be the first to comment

Whether you need a disabled minibus for your school, university or residential home, finding the right one can often be a difficult choice to make and if you are buying one for the first time then you may need some assistance. You need to ensure that the vehicle is safe, reliable and fit for purpose. Check out the handy guide below to make sure that you can get the best minibus for your requirements and budget…

Is it designed specifically to transport people with mobility problems?

Take a good look inside the minibus and check that it has all the requirements that your passengers will need such as wheelchair lifts and grab rails so that anyone using a wheel chair can be lifted into the vehicle safely. Bear in mind that the cost of making alterations like adding wheelchair access can end up costing more than the vehicle itself so make sure that if you need this facility, that it is provided. If the minibus does have a lift fitted then you need to make sure that it has been manufactured to British standards and that it conforms to the 1998 Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment regulations.

You will also need to ensure that the vehicle has other mobility features such as adequate footrests so that anyone suffering from lower body mobility issues can be fully supported and other general safety features such as seatbelts and headrests. If the minibus was manufactured before the new minibus safety and seatbelt legislation was brought in then check that it complies with the relevant regulations.

Is the minibus reliable?

Are you looking for a brand new disabled minibus or second hand one? If you are going with a second hand option then you need to make sure that it’s still in good condition and there are a number of ways you can check this. Inspect the bodywork and look for any signs of repair which may indicate that the vehicle has been in an accident. You should also check under the wheel arches, suspension struts and along the door frames for any signs of rust, you don’t want to buy a vehicle which is on its last legs. You should also find out how many miles the minibus has on the clock, if it has done a lot of miles then it may not be a worthwhile purchase as it might not have much left to give.

You need to check out the engine’s oil too, you can do this using a dipstick. If it’s black and tar like then the oil hasn’t been changed for a long time and you should bring it to the seller’s attention. You should also double check underneath the vehicle and inspect the drive shaft, gear box and engine to make sure that there isn’t any leaking fluid. Once you have narrowed down your search, it’s always advisable to take the minibus for a test drive so that you can assess how well the brakes, clutch, accelerator and steering for example all work and how comfortably you can drive the vehicle.

When you’ve found a minibus that meets all your requirements you should then consult a minibus insurance specialist to find the best deal for you.

Stairlifts for the Disabled

Posted in Chair Lift For Stairs on January 11th, 2010 by Admin – Be the first to comment

Stairlifts are a relief to mobility impaired individuals and help them to easily access the different floors in their homes and offices. In the olden days, physically disabled people employed caretakers to assist them in climbing stairs. But caretakers are expensive to maintain; moreover, the presence of another person constantly at one’s side might seriously affect the privacy of individuals. With the arrival of stair lifts, physically disabled people began to use stairlifts for their daily needs. For stair chair lifts you need to make only an initial payment when purchasing them. After that these can be used for many years with minimum maintenance.

Considering the requirements of physically disabled people, many models of stair lifts with different features have been introduced in the market. Stairlifts for both indoor and outdoor purposes are available. Outdoor chair lifts are specifically designed for outdoor purposes. Most of the outdoor chair lifts have features such as weather resistant covering, powder coated painting for protection from weather, electrical enclosure for protection against rain and mist and more.  

Stairlifts are available in models such as straight rail stair chair lift and curved rail stair chair lift. Straight rail stair chair lifts are used for straight stairways and curved rail stair chair lifts are used for curved stairways. Straight rail stair chair lifts are commonly used and are more economical than curved rail stair chair lifts. Stairlifts can be operated using AC as well as DC power. Stair lifts which have the option of battery powered operation can be used even during power failures. You can now purchase hydraulic chair lifts also.

Most of the stairlifts are provided with excellent safety features for the security of the stairway lift user. Most branded stairway lifts have safety belt. Some stair lifts have sensors to detect obstructions on the path of the lift. These sensors make the lift stop when they detect such obstacles, thus avoiding damage to the equipment and injury to the user. Some stairlifts meant for the disabled have remote control facility for flexible use. Luxurious chair lifts with various features and upholstery color selections that match the interior settings of the house, office, or business space are available.

Always take care to buy branded stairway lifts for long lasting and comfortable use. Bruno, Thyssenkrupp Access, and Savaria Concord are some of the leading brands in stairlifts.
