TOWSON, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Ruby Slipper, LLC, announces that the Ruby Slipper Car Seat Cover, a deceptively simple product that grew out of a common frustration, has become a comfortable and affordable solution to a problem faced by many persons with limited mobility: the inability to enter and exit a car. The Ruby Slipper re-opens the door to more freedom and mobility.

While most people take getting into a vehicle for granted, being unable to do that can severely limit the quality of a person's life. For individuals whose mobility is limited by age, injury, disability, recent surgery or weakness, getting in and out of a car easily can pose an insurmountable challenge. Many people with limited mobility are deeply saddened by the thought of giving up a lifetime of independence. And for others who are rehabilitating from an injury or surgery, difficulty getting in and out of a car can pose a roadblock to recovery.

Ruby Slipper Developed Out of Necessity

Ruby Slipper creator Katherine Miles developed this mobility device in response to her own mother's lack of upper and lower body strength due to injuries and other health conditions. Miles' mother-Ruby, of course-was no longer able to push herself back in to sit in Miles' passenger seat. "My problem was I did not have the strength to get her back into the seat either," said Miles.

Facing the prospect of no longer being able to take her mother for errands, appointments and drives, Miles got to work. The solution she arrived at is a fabric seat cover that fits virtually all passenger cars and trucks and works on both cloth and leather seats. The Ruby Slipper's heavy-duty double layer of cloth over the seating area creates a unique sliding action that allows an individual to pivot smoothly into a comfortable sitting position.

Explained Miles, "It was no longer difficult to get my mother into the car safely, and did not take super powers to do! I thought this was a type of 'swivel car seat for seniors' that other people with aging parents could appreciate, too."

Ruby Slipper Offers Fast Installation, Simple Use

The installation of the Ruby Slipper is quick and easy. Once placed into position on the car seat, the Ruby Slipper can be strapped securely into place in moments. To use the Ruby Slipper, the top layer of nylon fabric is rotated over the seating area toward the door to hang over the side of the seat.

Then, it's just sit, turn and slide. The individual sits on the edge of the car seat, and because the two pieces of fabric slide over one another, swivels into the car to place his or her feet on the floor. (If help is needed, a caregiver can grasp the individual's legs and rotate them into the car.) Once facing forward, the individual can slide back in the seat and buckle the seatbelt. These steps are done in reverse to exit the car.

Because it's so lightweight and simple to install, the Ruby Slipper can be moved from car to car as needed. The rugged nylon fabric, straps and buckles are built to last. The nylon fabric is comfortable and doesn't grow too hot when in use, as other makeshift solutions can. Easy to care for, the Ruby Slipper can be cleaned by using a damp cloth or by hand-washing. It's available in original red, as well as black and gray to coordinate with most vehicle upholstery.

Many Individuals Benefit from the Ruby Slipper

Anyone who has limited mobility, whether temporary or permanent, can find greater freedom thanks to the Ruby Slipper. This includes those who are:
* elderly
* injured
* disabled
* recovering from surgery
* experiencing upper or lower body muscle weakness

Those who care for individuals with limited mobility may wish to purchase or recommend the Ruby Slipper-especially in cases where the individual is reluctant to admit he or she needs help:
* caregivers
* physicians
* Veterans Administration professionals
* occupational therapists
* physical therapists

LANCASTER, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- National Access Corp. (NAC), an access and mobility provider focused on improving the lives of the physically disabled and elderly population, has launched its "Make it Better" - "One at a Time" initiative, which seeks out deserving individuals needing access or mobility related equipment or home modifications.

"The goal of the initiative is to find individuals or families who may not be able to afford some of the more costly equipment or modifications and to provide them for free or at a reduced cost," stated NAC's operations manager, Tory Buffenmyer. "We understand that some of the costs associated with specialized medical equipment, and especially home modifications, can be rather costly and out of range financially for some families. Our goal is to give back to our communities directly by providing life changing access or mobility solutions for free, or at cost to a handful of individuals."

NAC's slogan "founded on the simple principle of helping others" certainly rings true with this new initiative.

"We got into this space as a result of wanting to improve the lives of those facing access or mobility related issues as a result of a disability or aging. One of our founding partners had a personal experience where a family member became suddenly disabled. After spending several months trying to find help for his family member, he decided there was a need not being met and that something had to be done," said NAC's spokesman Darian Epstein.

"We're providing resources for families and individuals who find themselves needing help and answers to some of life's changes, our goal is to be the first place people turn when the need arises" continued Epstein.

NAC's community outreach director, Shannon Taylor, described the initiative as an experiment. "We're going to try this out with a handful of individuals to see how it goes. Our goal is to document a few cases that really outline the need within our communities, and to then garner support from local businesses wanting to make a difference in the lives of others." Taylor continued, "one thing that really surprised me when I got involved with NAC, was the tremendous need for what we do. For every person you see publicly, living with a disability, there at least ten more in the immediate area that you will never see because they live as shut ins - they lack the access or mobility required to make it out and into society. We're planning on changing that."

National Access Corp. is a Pennsylvania corporation with offices in Lancaster and Philadelphia, operating throughout the mid-Atlantic region. NAC specializes in providing straight forward solutions for access and mobility. Individuals needing anything from a wheelchair ramp or a barrier free shower, to a stairlift or scooter can contact NAC for free in-home consultations.

"We handle several lines of stairlifts, wheelchair platform lifts, in home elevators, scooters and scooter carriers, access ramps etc., and can do most any type of modification to residential or commercial buildings in order to make them accessible," said NAC's Buffenmyer.

To learn more about the initiative individuals should contact NAC at (717) 826-9431, or visit the website: http://www.nationalaccesscorp.com/
