First Step Custom Interiors Inc. has worked with the physically challenged community of New York since 2003. We understand the concerns that come with not being able to access certain areas of your home with ease. Simple tasks that most people overlook or take for granted make up the daily struggle of living with a limited range of motion.

 

We at FSCI will help you find the best solutions for your needs. We are committed to granting you the independence and comfort you deserve.    

 

 

Ramps & Lifts

 

Wood & Metal Exterior Ramps

Interior Portable Ramps

Vertical Platform Lifts

Mobile & Manual Wheelchair Lifts

Portable Ceiling Lifts

Stair Glides

 

 

 Ramps are constructed from either high quality metal or wood; Ramps enable a smooth transition into the house via wheel chair or scooter.  Metal ramps offer the option of being removed when they are no longer needed. Metal ramps can usually be installed in one day. Wood ramps are more permanent. Wooden ramps usually are installed in 3 to 5 days.

Stair lifts and vertical platform lifts provide safe transport from one level of the home to the next without climbing steps. Modifications will serve your needs without affecting the design and style of your home.

Bathing yourself can be difficult at best if the bathroom is not adapted to your personal and specific needs.

 

The installation of a roll in shower or walk in tub can simplify the bathing process.

 

A roll in shower is an open space that allows entry into the shower area without stepping over a threshold. A shower seat allows for seated comfort while bathing.

 

Walk in tubs are designed to fit into the existing shower stalls or precious bath tub locations. Walk in tubs offer an inward opening door making entry and exit from the tub a simple process. Sometimes eliminating the need for assistance when entering the tub

 

Cooking a meal presents a wide variety of issues as most kitchens were not designed for a person with impaired strength and range of motion in mind.

 

Creating open, clear space under counter tops and sinks improves access for people in wheel chairs or those who prefer to sit while working.

 

Doors

Lever handles

Electric door openers

Swing clear hinges

 

Being able to enter a doorway for some is an impossible challenge if the doorway is not wheel chair accessible.

The swing clear hinge create a wider doorway by allowing the door to completely clear the door way.

Electric door openers allow a door to be opened by remote control

 

Railing & Handles

 

Railings

Grab bars

 

Strategically placed grab bars and rails provide confidence and support while walking around the home. Custom lever handles on doors, faucets and shower controls require less strength than the standard round handles to operate. The installation of swing clear hinges allows doors to open flush to the frame and creates a wider passageway.

 

 Electrical Modifications

 

Electrical door openers

Relocation of light switches

Lighting Installation

 

FSCI can assist in finding possible funding sources for some home modifications
