Mobility & Accessibility Solutions in Grays Ferry, Philadelphia

Grays Ferry takes its name from George Gray, who ran a floating bridge and a popular pleasure garden on the Schuylkill in the 1700s. The Grays Ferry Bridge still carries traffic across the river near where his ferry once crossed, and the neighborhood is known for close-knit blocks, parish roots, and families who have stayed put for generations.

Most of the houses here went up between the 1880s and the early 1900s. That means narrow brick rowhomes with steep, enclosed staircases, front doors set a step or two above the pavement, and bathrooms tucked on the second floor. They weren’t designed with access or aging in place in mind.

That’s where we come in, 101 Mobility of Greater Philadelphia helps Grays Ferry residents, and the adult children who look after them, stay safe in the house they know. Call (215) 608-0866 or request a free home consultation online.

Solutions Sized for Older Grays Ferry Rowhomes

• Steep, narrow stairs – Older staircases are often tighter than modern ones. Our straight stairlifts use slim rails and seats that fold flat, and we confirm clearance before recommending one.
• Stairs with a turn or landing – If your staircase winds at the top or bottom, a custom curved stairlift is built to follow that exact path.
• The step up from the pavement – Threshold and modular ramps handle one or two steps, while a porch lift works where there’s no room for a run of ramp.
• Back door and yard steps – Outdoor stairlifts are made to handle Philadelphia weather on exterior stairs.
• Bathroom and bedroom safety – Grab bars and shower seats, lift chairs, and patient lifts round out a safer home.

For the Family Making the Call

We often find it’s a family member like a son or daughter who reaches out first. We’ll walk the house with you, explain straight versus curved versus ramp options, and provide you a quote you can share with the rest of the family before anyone decides. Short-term rentals are also available if the need is temporary, like during recovery from surgery or injury.
