Every year, the Abilities Expo Chicago brings together thousands of individuals, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and accessibility experts to discover the latest innovations that help people live safer, more independent lives. This year’s event was especially memorable for the Access Elevator, Inc. team.
During a recent interview on WGN Radio’s Home Sweet Home Chicago, Access Elevator, Inc. CEO Frank Wasilewski had the privilege of announcing the winner of our annual Grab Bar Giveaway.
Congratulations, Linda!
We’re excited to congratulate Linda from Des Plaines, Illinois, who was selected as the winner of our professionally installed grab bar package.
The giveaway included the installation of three grab bars at the locations that best fit Linda’s home, helping improve safety, confidence, and independence in the spaces where support is needed most.
Congratulations, Linda! We look forward to helping make your home even safer.
Celebrating Independence at the Abilities Expo
Beyond the giveaway, this year’s Abilities Expo was filled with incredible moments that reminded us why we love what we do.
One of the biggest highlights was watching attendees experience the newest FDA-approved robotic walking technology. Frank shared during the interview how inspiring it was to see individuals walking for the first time with the assistance of these groundbreaking robotic devices.
Seeing the smiles, excitement, and renewed hope on people’s faces was a powerful reminder that accessibility technology continues to change lives every day.

A Tradition That Inspires Us Every Year
During the interview, Frank and the WGN Radio hosts also reflected on another Access Elevator tradition – our annual Veterans Stair Lift Giveaway.
One of the most inspiring parts of this program isn’t just installing the stair lift – it’s hearing the incredible stories from veterans who often recommend that another veteran receive the lift instead.
Time after time, we hear comments like:
“Someone else probably needs it more than I do.”
That selfless attitude continues to inspire everyone at Access Elevator, Inc. and reminds us why giving back to our communities is such an important part of our mission.
