On Christmas Eve 2021, a time when most businesses are winding down, the commitment to accessibility at Enable Access took centre stage with an urgent, time-sensitive project. Two dedicated and highly professional members of our engineering team successfully installed two sophisticated Welcome modular ramp systems on behalf of a new trade partner. The location was a busy Care Home in Cambridgeshire, and the stakes were incredibly high: the Visitor Pod was scheduled for immediate and crucial use on Christmas Day by residents eager to reunite with their families and friends.
The Deadline
The extremely demanding deadline of Christmas Day necessitated an immediate and expert response from our team. Our successful, swift installation guaranteed that the residents could enjoy those precious, often long-awaited moments with their loved ones entirely without physical barriers.
Visitor Pods and designated visitor rooms have firmly established themselves as an indispensable tool for facilitating safe, controlled, and deeply cherished visits in care homes, especially during periods requiring enhanced safety protocols. They represent a vital bridge connecting residents with the outside world. However, their nature as temporary or semi-permanent structures often results in an inherent height difference between the ground and the entrance threshold. This seemingly small elevation can, in reality, create a severe limitation on access for a significant portion of the population.
Without a compliant, reliable modular ramp system in place, the core goal of achieving universal access for all visitors—including those who rely on wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or those with limited ambulant movement—is simply not met. A step, no matter how small, becomes a barrier that excludes many, forcing undignified entry or, worse, preventing the visit altogether. Enable Access recognises that true care extends beyond the front door and must encompass the entire journey to the Visitor Pod.
The Modular Welcome System by Enable Access is not just a ramp; it is a meticulously engineered access platform that offers the definitive solution for enhancing Visitor Pod and designated visitor room accessibility.
In the highly regulated and service-oriented environment of care homes and public facilities, compromising on accessibility is not an option. Limited access restricts vital connections and poses a serious safety and compliance risk. If your care facility or public space utilises Visitor Pods, temporary cabins, or any raised temporary buildings, a modular ramp solution from Enable Access is an essential investment to guarantee a safe, dignified, and fully accessible entry for everyone.
