Hello Leann
There are lifts which can be put on a stairway and one can wheel right on to

these and go down the steps in a power chair but they are frightfully
expensive.  And in a condo whether the management would allow it, I don't
know.
My dog is a jet black lab named Walter.He was trained through Can-Do-Canines

who train mobility assist, seizure response, autism assist, diabetic assist,

and hearing assist dogs.

Hi, Maureen,



First, I'd like to thank everyone for all the information given.  I'm blind
and wheelchair bound because I'm a diabetic and have had two amputations!



Second, I live in a first-floor condo, but it's up ten steps.  So far, I've
used a manual wheelchair and have a chair lift that I transfer to; and it
glides down the stairs, someone carries my wheelchair down the steps
(usually my husband) and away we go. I do wonder, if I had to go to an
electric chair, what would be my options of getting an electric chair down
my 10 steps?  Also, Maureen, where did you receive your service dog?  Also,
I suppose this is only a nosey question because I am a dog lover. what kind
of dog do you have, and what is his/her name?  Thanks again!

Leanne Cherry
