The Interior

Delightfully efficient interiors feature pleasing design seamlessly integrated with accessibility features including a built in ceiling hoist track, spacious bathroom with curb-less shower, hygienic rounded flooring corners for easier cleaning, and appropriately placed outlets & switches.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

WheelPADs are built with materials meant to last, with renewable and non-toxic finishes resulting in little to no off-gassing so you can breathe, and rest, easy.

They are solidly built exclusively with premium SIPs construction (Structural Insulated Panel). Thus the walls, floor, and roof have higher R-values without thermal bridging. This keeps heating & cooling more efficient, reducing energy costs.

+Add PAD vs. Home Renovation

Situation:

Your family is faced with adapting and upgrading your current home to provide more accessibility.

Home renovation is a long and drawn out process, and even with a general contractor there are hundreds of decisions to be made. +Add PAD delivers a fully functional space that can be ready in a week. +Add PAD is dynamic in that it can revert your home back whenever needed. Furthermore, our buyback commitment offers more versatility.

+Add PAD vs. Home Care

Situation:

Your family is faced with the choice of sending a loved one to a nursing home or assisted living.

Offering the option of home care, +Add PAD leases can be the perfect solution. Keep your family together and lease an +Add PAD on your property. You then have the ability to oversee care, and get more quality time with your family. Again, the innovative +Add PAD offers value and solutions.

+Add PAD vs. Assisted Living

Situation:

Your family is faced with the outstanding cost of assisted living or home healthcare.

While a greater investment at first, +Add PAD redeems it’s cost within 3 years, compared to the national average of assisted living. Compared to nursing home options, it is substantially more affordable.

This chart reflects the cost of buying a +Add PAD and then hiring a home care service for 40 hours a week.
