We all have the boring and endless job of keeping our homes clean, so this week we headed to Falmouth to get replacement bags for my home’s central vacuum. The Cape Cod Vacuum Mart had just what I needed so we then decided to wheelchair accessibility review the store. It is very small but I found it to be very accessible for there are no aisles; it makes it simple to maneuver my chair around.
Located towards the end of the plaza, the Cape Cod Vacuum Mart shares a handicap parking space with other stores; next to it is a sloped cement walkway that leads to the sidewalk to the store entrance.
The door to enter is not automatic for my friends Kevin and Kellie helped me enter as one held the door while the other pushed my manual wheelchair inside.
We found the store accessible, as the accessories and vacuums are located along the sides and the center of the store giving me plenty of space to maneuver. The bags for our central vacuum were available. The cashier counter is too high for a person in a wheelchair to pay for their purchase.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience; therefore I give Cape Cod Vacuum Mart FOUR STARS for wheelchair accessibility. An automatic entry door and lowering the cashier counter would earn the store the Fifth Star.
