As we age or face temporary mobility challenges due to surgery or injury, maintaining independence and safe access to our homes becomes essential. At Knoxville Aging in Place, our Ramp Rental Program offers a practical, cost-effective, and ADA-compliant solution for individuals needing temporary home accessibility. Whether you are recovering from surgery, accommodating a visiting family member, or simply need a safer way to enter and exit your home, we’re here to help.
Why Choose Our Ramp Rental Program?
Accessibility for All
Whether you're aging in place, recovering from a medical procedure, or assisting a loved one with limited mobility, our rental ramps allow you to move safely and comfortably in and out of your home. Our ramps accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, and other mobility aids.
Temporary and Flexible
Our ramps are ideal for short-term use. You can rent a ramp for as little as three months, with the flexibility to extend your rental as needed. This eliminates the commitment and cost of a permanent structure while still offering full accessibility.
Built with Safety in Mind
Every ramp includes:
Non-slip surfaces for safe use in wet or icy conditions
Sturdy handrails to aid balance
Heavy-duty construction that supports high weight capacity
ADA-compliant designs to ensure the safest experience possible
Expert Installation & Removal
Our trained installer, Nic, handles both the installation and removal of each ramp, ensuring it is secure, level, and compliant with safety standards. Installation and teardown are included in the rental program, with a one-time setup/teardown fee due on the day of installation. If you choose to purchase the ramp later, that fee will be credited back to you.
Cost-Effective Solution
Ramp rentals are a budget-friendly alternative to buying or building a custom ramp. If your accessibility needs are temporary, renting gives you full functionality at a fraction of the price.
How the Program Works
Step 1: Contact Us
Call 865-637-1735 or visit the Book Online section of our website to schedule a consultation with Nic.
We serve Knoxville and surrounding counties including: Alcoa, Briceville, Caryville, Clinton, Corryton, Harriman, Jacksboro, Kingston, Knoxville, LaFollette, Lenoir City, Loudon, Madisonville, Maryville, Maynardville, Oak Ridge, Oliver Springs, Petros, Rockwood, Rocky Top, Seymour, Strawberry Plains, Sweetwater, and Wartburg.
Step 2: In-Home Assessment
Nic will visit your home to assess your entryway, discuss your mobility needs, and recommend the most appropriate ramp configuration for your layout. This ensures your ramp is not only functional but meets all safety standards and space requirements.
If needed, we can also help initiate conversations with your homeowner's insurance provider to discuss whether your policy covers potential damage or theft of rental equipment. Schedule your In-Home Ramp Rental Assessment here.
Step 3: Installation
We schedule installation at your convenience. Our modular aluminum ramps are installed quickly—usually in a few hours—with no permanent modifications to your home.
Step 4: Use as Needed
Enjoy safe, independent access to your home. If your situation changes, simply call us to extend your rental or schedule a pickup. The program requires a minimum three-month rental.
Why We Use Aluminum Ramps
Aluminum ramps are the preferred solution for temporary accessibility due to their durability, safety, and ease of use:
Weather-Resistant and rust-proof
Slip-Resistant surfaces provide traction even in rain or snow
Quick Installation and Removal with no permanent impact on your property
Modular and Adjustable to suit various home layouts
Low Maintenance and easy to clean
Compared to wood, aluminum ramps do not rot, warp, or require staining. Wooden ramps may seem affordable upfront but often need permits, frequent upkeep, and can't be easily moved or repurposed.
Who Benefits from Ramp Rentals?
Our rental ramps are perfect for:
Individuals recovering from surgery or illness
Temporary wheelchair or walker users
Elderly individuals aging in place
Families preparing for a mobility-impaired guest
Anyone seeking quick and safe entry/exit without permanent changes
They’re also ideal for those working through Department of Labor or other public support programs that fund short-term accessibility improvements.
Start with a Phone Consultation
We recommend starting with a brief Introductory Phone Consultation. During this call, we’ll ask a few questions to better understand your home and mobility needs. Based on that conversation, we can suggest immediate safety improvements or schedule a full Ramp Rental Assessment.
Don’t Let Mobility Limit Your Independence
At Knoxville Aging in Place, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to live comfortably and safely in their own home. Our Ramp Rental Program is designed to support that mission. Contact us today to learn how we can help you or your loved ones gain the access and independence you deserve.
