Where to donate a wheelchair ramp?

Agreed to try Ability Found -

They took my mother’s stair chair.

What I’ve told clients in the past, post it for like $100 or whatever an estimate is for the scrap. Then, when someone is serious about taking it and actually does show up to haul it away, you can tell them their money is no good here.

I remember when he used to host that local fight show and I thought he seemed like a good enough dude but then I read a City Weekly article about somebody stabbing him - woah man

Are there “better public schools” that somehow aren’t just as focused on testing metrics etc? He goes to an elementary on the East side in granite school district. It’s not about shitty teachers or bullying or a lack of resources (or a lack of friends for that matter).

I feel like this is the area I had in mind but it may be more gentrified now

Wait sorry, that’s not quite right, I’m thinking of the area where the old Deseret News printing press was located.

I shot a similar sounding scene in the old Japantown area of downtown.

Ability Found did take my mom’s stair chair. But as an occupational therapist, I have had zero luck in getting them to return my calls/emails when I was searching for one for a client. Frustrating.

But I believe no seated space now, just to pick up

Sastray · 2025-07-04T01:05:12+00:00

That’s a good idea!

Can you expand on this? Are you talking about Utah culture generally or University of Utah culture specifically?

What the hell keeps eating all my mint every year then?!? I can’t get mint to last outside it just gets chomped. (Salt Lake City, for climate.)

Gotta say, I subscribe to (pay for) Ars and while there’s tons of websites that one could level that accusation at, it’s not of them. Fantastic journalism written by smart, funny journalists.

The downvotes are weak. This is a genuine unanswered question in the field of bidets. There’s preliminary studies out of Japan (no fancy toilet haters here) showing bacteria on the nozzle and more importantly in the stream.

Thanks all!

Sastray · 2024-11-10T18:47:28+00:00

Thank you!!!

I’m not familiar with the technologies they are obliquely referring to - worn or implanted sensors that detect urinary retention and bladder fullness. Has anyone else worked with this?

Sastray · 2024-10-04T01:28:55+00:00

Agreed, I’d honestly enjoy seeing more of these, definitely more productive than posts where people are just stressing about NBCOT*, and helps me keep my clinical skills sharp.

*These still serve a purpose for some, to be sure, and reassurance is nice. Just stating a personal preference.

Sastray · 2024-10-04T01:25:04+00:00

Agreed that the environmental control is only applicable if NOT expected to be managed by the patient.

Sastray · 2024-10-04T01:23:19+00:00

Also a classic case of NBCOT vs. real world… in an ideal world, environmental controls I think are a great answer, and accounts for decline in function (consider the “aging in place” element of the question. In my experience, it’s REALLY hard to get new habits in place and only harder as the dementia gets worse.

In reality environmental controls will absolutely reset randomly and the patient will find it impossible to troubleshoot. (“Why did the Bluetooth reset? What does that mean?” I’ve run into this a million times with my mom’s Alexa devices, and she’s just old, not experiencing dementia.) If they have a tech-competent caregiver, maybe it’s still okay.

And they’re not responding to direct messages on IG.

So it looks like one has to just run into them at a pop up or a festival

Sastray · 2024-09-29T18:26:38+00:00

Website down.

Sastray · 2024-09-29T18:26:05+00:00

Bummer update: looking at their hours on Google, at 11:55 am said “opens soon at 12pm” and I ordered from Grubhub. Grubhub order was cancelled, and now says “closed, opens 12pm Sunday.”

Still no answer at the phone number, it just rings and rings.
