The independent living movement began decades ago by people with disabilities shaping decisions on issues that affect their lives. A major part of these activities involved formation of community- based groups of people with different types of disabilities who joined together to identify barriers and gaps in service delivery. Today we define independent living as working and playing like everyone else.

In contrast to assisted living, independent living is ideal for individuals who can still live independently but enjoy having access to assistance when they need it. Most of these communities offer amenities such as activities and services such as transportation. At United Access we are here to help with those transportation needs. We understand better than anyone how to provide solutions such as customized wheelchair accessible vehicles for your specific needs.

Millions of people all over America who experience disabilities have established lives of independence. At United Access, we’d like to help you strengthen that experience to keep residents independent as long as possible.
