About Mobility Cost Check

What this site is

Mobility Cost Check publishes researched cost guides for mobility equipment and home-safety projects: walk-in tubs, stair lifts, ramps, grab bars, comfort-height toilets, medical alert systems, walkers, and rollators. Each guide answers practical questions. What does it cost? What drives the price? What should the quote include? What are the honest downsides?

What this site is not

This site does not sell equipment, install anything, or dispatch contractors. It does not sell insurance or Medicare plans, and it doesn’t give plan advice. It also does not give medical advice. Guides describe prices, dimensions, fit facts, and how products work. Whether a product suits a particular person is a question for that person’s clinician or an occupational therapist. This site is not affiliated with Medicare, CMS, or any government agency.

The pricing standard

• Every price is a researched range with its basis stated (installed, per linear foot, per month), not a quote and not a promise.
• Where a figure hasn’t been verified against a published source, it isn’t printed. The guide tells you to get that line priced in writing instead.
• Downsides are written up in every guide, including the ones sellers tend to skip.

Where the numbers come from

Ranges are assembled from published cost guides, dealer pricing, comparison testing, and manufacturer specifications. Measurement facts, such as ramp slope and grab-bar heights, cite the 2010 ADA Standards as a reference point. Those standards cover public buildings; homes aren’t required to follow them.

Corrections

A price that differs from a published range is useful, especially with the region, the year, and the scope of the job attached. Corrections are checked against sources before anything changes.
