Top Family, Denmark
Adaptation
Birthe Top says: “Suddenly my husband could only be on the ground floor. Therefore, we had to accomodate with the bedroom and bathroom in the backyard.” From the original building to the rear building there was a staircase with three steps and the couple had to find an assistive device so Søren could access the rear building.

Can stay in own home
The municipality initially suggested a ramp, which however was not optimal in the couple’s opinion. Instead of a ramp, a FlexStep was installed as it could be adapted to their beautiful home. Birthe explains: “It means a lot to us that we can preserve our house, as it were, despite the big sudden changes in our lives.”

Same tiles
The steps in their FlexStep is in fact covered with the same granite tiles, as the floor on which FlexStep is installed. Birthe says about FlexStep: “Guests think it is a common staircase and cannot see that it also serves as a wheelchair lift for my husband.”
