Today, on Veterans Day, we honor the bravery, dedication, and sacrifices of the men and women who have served in our nation’s military. At Access Elevator, Inc., we extend our heartfelt thanks to our veterans and those who continue to serve our country. Your commitment to protecting our freedoms inspires us every day.
Veterans Day is an opportunity to recognize the people behind that service – our family members, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and customers. We are grateful for their contributions and for the military families who support them.
Our Story and Our Commitment to Independence
Helping people live more independently is at the heart of what we do at Access Elevator, Inc. From stair lifts and wheelchair ramps to wheelchair lifts, elevators, and accessible home modifications, our work centers on removing barriers and helping people feel comfortable in their homes.
This Veterans Day, we also want to share the story of how our business began and the purpose behind our work.
For veterans facing mobility challenges, greater accessibility can make everyday routines easier and help them continue enjoying the homes they love. We are proud to help veterans and their families explore solutions that support their individual needs.
Lifting a Hero – Giving Back to a Veteran
This year, we celebrated our military community through our 2026 Lifting a Hero giveaway, offering a veteran a home stair lift with full professional installation, courtesy of Access Elevator, Inc.
This past weekend, Access Elevator, Inc. CEO Frank Wasilewski joined WGN Radio’s Home Sweet Home Chicago live on the air to announce our winner: Gerald Bernson of Tinley Park, Illinois!
Gerald will receive a home stair lift with full professional installation to help support greater independence at home. Through Lifting a Hero, we have an opportunity to express our appreciation with something that can make a meaningful difference in a veteran’s daily life.

Thank You for Your Service
To every veteran in our communities and across the country – thank you for your service, your sacrifices, and all you continue to contribute to our nation.
Happy Veterans Day from the entire Access Elevator team.
