RALEIGH/DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, mayo 13, 2024 – Next Day Access is proud to announce the opening of the Next Day Access Raleigh/Durham, NC franchise location.

Next Day Access is expanding to two locations in North Carolina. Rob Williams and Jason Williamson are the owners of Next Day Access Raleigh/Durham, NC, serving the Triangle area.

Rob began his career in general contracting, which he has done for 32 years, and he has worked in real estate for 21 years. His understanding of the accessibility world grew as he began modifying his father’s home. While he was living independently, Rob’s father relied heavily on the accessibility devices Rob installed, such as grab bars and wheelchair ramps. Doing this fulfilling work helped Rob realize that this was a business in which he wanted to invest, and he knew who he wanted to partner with to begin this journey.

Jason Williamson is a Gulf War veteran, and his work in real estate spans over 25 years, and he owns and operates the nonprofit Williamson Resource Foundation, which partners with local VA chapters to educate the public on financial literacy and helps unhoused individuals. As a disabled veteran himself, Jason empathizes with those who were injured in action, so it made perfect sense for him to partner with Rob in opening a Next Day Access franchise location. They are joined by Jason Williamson II, their technician, Brook Williams, Rob’s wife, and other employees.

Next Day Access Raleigh/Durham, NC will serve the Triangle area of North Carolina. They specialize in wheelchair ramps, stairlifts, grab bars, porch lifts, and more. To learn more about Next Day Access Raleigh/Durham, NC, visit their website: https://www.nextdayaccess.com/raleigh-durham-nc/

In any business, the success of a company is often attributed to the dedication and expertise of its employees. Among these dedicated individuals, there are always standout professionals who go above and beyond, making a significant impact on the organization and its customers. Ross Week, a technician at North Houston, is one such individual who has not only demonstrated his unwavering commitment but also exemplified the core value of knowledge in his work. His journey with Next Day Access has been marked by his outstanding technical skills, dedication to customer service, and an unyielding passion for his work.

A Commitment to Knowledge

Ross’s journey with Next Day Access began just over a year ago, and since then, he has consistently demonstrated the company’s core value of knowledge. In April, Ross achieved a milestone by earning the Harmar Lift Squad certification. This certification demonstrates his dedication to enhancing his technical skills and staying updated on the latest industry standards. But it’s not just about earning a certificate; it’s about applying that knowledge to solve real-world problems.

Solving Long-Standing Issues

Ross’s dedication to his career becomes evident when he tackles challenging situations. He has made a significant impact by resolving issues that have plagued customers for a long time. In one case, a customer had been struggling for eight months with a malfunctioning Helix chassis that prevented her from accessing her upstairs. Ross identified a wiring harness fault as the root of the problem.

While on-site, he took immediate action, ordering the necessary parts from tech support and ensuring overnight delivery. He didn’t stop there; Ross proactively scheduled a follow-up visit within 48 hours to install the parts and get the system working as it should. This proactive and efficient approach was a stark contrast to the frustration the customer had faced for months while dealing with the installation company. Ross’s actions not only resolved the issue but also left the customer relieved and grateful for the swift resolution.

Responsive and Passionate

In addition to Ross’s technical prowess, his responsiveness and passion for supporting the Next Day Access brand have made him a valuable asset to the North Houston location. In July, he responded to two VA service calls regarding non-functioning Highlander VPLs, both of which had been out of order for over seven weeks. Within just 24 hours of the first call, Ross had not only identified the problems but also ordered the necessary parts, all under warranty.

His swift actions not only restored these vital mobility solutions to working order but also exemplified the high level of customer service that Next Day Access prides itself on. Ross’s dedication and commitment to customer satisfaction are a testament to the company’s values and its mission to improve the quality of life for its clients.

Technician of the Month

Ross’s outstanding performance and unwavering commitment to his role have rightfully earned him the title of Technician of the Month. His ability to apply his knowledge effectively, coupled with his dedication to resolving long-standing issues and his passion for the brand, make him a true asset to Next Day Access North Houston.

Ross’s story is a testament to the impact that a knowledgeable and dedicated technician can have on a company’s success and the lives of its customers. His commitment to continuously expanding his expertise, along with his responsive and passionate approach to customer service, exemplifies the values and mission of Next Day Access. Ross serves as an inspiring example of how knowledge, dedication, and a passion for service can drive an organization forward, making it a better place for both employees and customers.

When aging adults reach a point where they have accessibility concerns, it is time to consider remodeling their bathrooms to keep them safe. A bathroom not designed for aging adults has many slip hazards, and a simple fall could be more painful and debilitating for an aging adult. Next Day Access offers many solutions to make the bathroom as safe as possible for aging adults. Here are a few tips to keep your aging loved one safe in their bathroom.

Install Grab Bars, Shower Handles, or a Tension Mounted Pole

Aging adults with poor balance will try to steady themselves by grabbing a towel rack or wall-mounted sink. Neither is designed to hold a person’s body weight. Invest in sturdy grab bars, and safety poles. Install the grab bars on the wall around the toilet and in the shower with the shower handles. Make sure they are firmly bolted to the wall and are grip resistant.

A newer concept for aging adults is the tension-mounted pole. It can be placed anywhere in the house where your aging loved one needs help with balance, but it is especially helpful in a bathroom, alongside grab bars and shower handles. The tension pole is a floor-to-ceiling metal rod with an “S” shape bar in the middle of the rod so your aging loved one can use a hand-over-hand technique to pull themselves up without injury.

Consider Investing in a Walk-In Tub or Quick Tub Conversion Kit

One of the most challenging moves for an aging adult with accessibility concerns is stepping over the tub to shower or take a bath. At Next Day Access, we offer walk-in tubs. The walk-in tubs have an outward swinging door that allows your loved one to walk straight into the tub. Many also have a tall seat in the tub, so your loved one does not have to bend down when bathing, or if they prefer to shower, the bench acts as a shower seat.

The quick tub conversion kit supplies you with everything you need to turn your existing bathtub into a step-in shower while still maintaining a fully functional bathtub. It is similar to the walk-in tub, but it does not include a bench.

Ensure the Bathroom has Slip Resistant Rugs and Mats

It is inevitable that while showering or bathing, the bathroom floors will end up wet. Make sure to place slip-resistant pads down in the shower and ensure any rugs outside the tub or shower are also slip-resistant.

Install a Bio Bidet

To ensure your loved one gets as clean as possible and for even more ease in the bathroom, you could install a Bio Bidet. We recommend the extremely popular Bio Bidet because it offers both comfort and the functionality of a heavy-duty commode. The Bio Bidet also offers a cleansing method that many people have claimed is far superior to other bidets.

Everything that Next Day Access sells we also install. Our experienced installation team will ensure that each bathroom product is secured correctly. Our goal at Next Day Access is for aging adults to be able to age in place. We provide several products that ensure the home is safe and comfortable for them. If you need help remodeling a bathroom to keep your aging loved one safe, do not hesitate to reach out to your nearest Next Day Access. We also offer in-home consultations to ensure the entire home is secure.

Next Day Access Expands into the Greater Oklahoma City Area to Bring Accessibility and Mobility Solutions to Local Communities.

Next Day Access is pleased to announce the opening of Next Day Access Oklahoma City. The franchise location, provider of residential and commercial accessibility and mobility solutions, is owned by husband and wife David and Angelia Goss.

David and Angelia Goss are managing partners of Next Day Access Oklahoma City. Before becoming a business owner, David started his professional career as a mechanical engineer working as a government civilian in the United States Air Force, managing the plant and equipment at the Tinker Air Force base. He also furthered his education with a Master’s in Business Administration; David retired from the Air Force with 34 years of service. Angelia has been a nurse for 30 years. She retired as a full-time nurse three years ago and is currently an adjunct skills/clinical instructor. Once they open, Angelia will be fully immersed in her new role as a managing partner and will be focusing on the business development side.

The idea of opening an accessibility business sparked when he and his wife became caretakers for Angelia’s father, which resulted in modifying their home. David renovated their bathroom himself to create a safer space for his father-in-law and a more efficient, accessible space for themselves as caretakers. With his mechanical engineering and managerial background, David felt opening a Next Day Access franchise was the right fit.

“Everyone we’ve met at Next Day Access has been great to work with and has made us feel comfortable during this process,” said David. “We’re excited to open and begin helping people by providing mobility solutions.”

The Next Day Access Oklahoma City location will provide a wide range of accessibility and mobility solutions for residential and commercial customers.
