A Trusted Ramp Provider for Discharge Planners, OTs and Case Managers
Regional Ramp provides safe, temporary wheelchair ramp rentals for patients being discharged from hospital to their homes in Ottawa and the surrounding rural area. These cases often need a quick turnaround, so we respond promptly to get your patients home safely.
With over 15 years of experience in the home medical equipment industry, we understand the challenges facing clients who use mobility equipment. You can skip chasing down unresponsive contractors or family friends who promise to build a ramp. We handle the home accessibility side for you.

Why Health Practitioners Refer to Regional Ramp
- Fast turnaround. We keep ramp inventory at our Ottawa warehouse and confirm the timeframe for every installation.
- Shorter hospital stays. Getting access in place sooner can help avoid extended hospital stays or respite care costs.
- Rural coverage. We travel to serve clients outside the city.
- No upfront payment barrier. We can often begin work without immediate payment from the client or a third-party funding agency, in good faith that payment will be arranged.
- Flexible as needs change. Rentals cover seasonal adjustments or changes in medical condition, and help maintain independence until longer-term accessibility decisions are made.
The Product We Use
Our modular aluminum ramps are tested to high-level accessibility standards and include handrails and non-skid surfaces. The system is consistent in every configuration for safe, barrier-free access, and it is the better choice when a portable ramp won’t do. We assess each residence and install a solution tailored to your client’s home and needs. Learn more about residential wheelchair ramps.
