Nowadays, I noticed that when there are wheelchair bound people around in shopping malls or even at crowded places, people tend to just ignore them and treat them with no respect. Well this behavior is absolutely unacceptable. They do not even have the slightest idea that when they become wheelchair bound at any age, who will be the people that will care for them and look out for them.
But I want to show a few wheelchair friendly facilities...
There are slopes or ramps in and out of shopping malls and supermarkets for the elderly who are on wheelchair or anyone who is wheelchair bound.
The slopes are also not very steep so the wheelchair bound who can push themselves; it would be easy for them to move through these areas. The best thing is that the entrance of the mall is also just after it so this is very convenient for them.
This sign shows where the parking lots for the cars carrying wheelchair bound people are so it would be easier for the people driving to locate where it is. Also, the parking lots for the wheelchair bound people should be located near to the exits or elevators of these malls so they do not have to travel a long distance to just cross over.
These facilities look friendly but only if we make them friendly. We should help them in any troubles they have even if we do not know them. This can make our society a better place for them to survive and live in. So please help them as much as you can and give them 100% support!
