KLD, Hacknsack, Rollinpositive, thanks for all the info and suggestions to follow up on.
Can you suggest any groups or agencies (in California or otherwise) out front in advocating these accessibility standards?
Thanks for the reminder re the term Hoyer.
Hacknsack44,
Very interesting, thanks. What are you quoting here? I clicked the link but it was dead.
This issue is been a great personal frustration of ours for a long time now, and I'm...
In your states it is law for hotels to have 8 inches of clearance underneath an ADA bed, correct? Dumb question, but this is what you actually find? I'm just pinching myself over here because it runs...

Found The Heathman in Portland, Oregon. Their website says Hoyer lift available on request.

Terrible experience, glad it turned out OK. At the Sleep Inn Six Flags San Antonio, we pre-arranged the arrangement with the wooden blocks, and by the time we arrived, the manager was surprised to...
Another workaround for Hoyer users
If you can't locate a hotel bed without platforms, here's a great solution I learned here at CareCure. My wife purchased an eight-foot 4″x4″ and had the store...
I told my excellent PT doctor that I feel my crunches more when I fire my thigh muscles or raise my arms at the same time. His solution: placing an exercise ball in my lap, extending my arms over the...

Travelers, Hoyer users, please include as many specifics as you can: hotel name, address, phone, room no., manager name, bed height, setup of toilet, shower, sinks above (faucet type, reach) and...
Just saw this, I definitely miss Windows 7. Dragon 13 is absolutely better voice-recognition, but it is glitchy on Windows 10. Several times a day it stalls… while… launching… applications (still...
Hi Jared,
Wondering how was your stay and what did you do here? Any particular ups and downs as far as accessibility or advice? Thanks.
My doctor ran the stethoscope over my belly and pronounced me full of you-know-what (my wife concurred). But I eat healthy and dialed back on the adult drinkies, so out of frustration I do 900...
Thanks, I had no idea about this and will look at it.
Just curious, are you also using Windows Speech Recognition? I understand it's mostly the same since Vista, but I find it virtually unusable...
Though I'll keep fooling with it, I can't get Dragon to transcribe telephone interviews that are at all understandable. Does anybody know of other software to try? Or maybe quadriplegic journalists I...

Thanks RollPositive, for these contacts. I also really like Wes4dbt's idea for a sticky for us to add hotels with low/adjustable height beds and ones without platforms. This would be so practical and...
I have not reviewed my contract, but that's a good idea. Their contention was that they miscalculated my payments over the years, and that their new and corrected formula – which happens to figure in...
Has anybody else dealt with this? Last year they came at me suddenly claiming they've been overpaying for years and years and chopped down my monthly benefit. Please PM if you're concerned about...
This is exactly the kind of thing I've got in mind. Would you mind sharing this person's contact info so that we can chime in? It's exciting to learn that others are dealing with the same issue,...
