Posted on by John Burfield
Lifeway Mobility is pleased to announce the acquisition of Beyond Barriers Minneapolis, LLC, a Minnesota-based accessibility equipment and home modification provider. Founded in 1992, Beyond Barriers has served Minnesota and western Wisconsin for more than 25 years.
Beyond Barriers will now operate as Lifeway Mobility Minneapolis, and founder Blair Ferguson will remain with the local team as Regional Vice President and General Manager.
Ferguson has extensive experience in home and commercial access. He is a licensed building and elevator contractor, Minnesota Accessibility Specialist, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, and Certified Environmental Access Consultant. Ferguson also served as a founding member of the Midwest Association for Medical Equipment Services and Supplies’ Home Modification and Accessibility Committee.
Ferguson and his team are excited to become part of Lifeway. “Joining Lifeway Mobility will allow us to offer superior service to our customers by improving our systems and processes while maintaining the strong relationship we’ve built with clients, clinicians and referral sources over the past many years,” Ferguson said.
“This is truly exciting news,” said Paul Bergantino, Lifeway Mobility President. “We saw the opportunity to build on the strengths of two great organizations comprised of professionals with years of experience in the industry. We share a joint passion for improving the safety, freedom, and comfort of people with mobility challenges and their caregivers. Our combined company will remain true to our objective of ‘staying local as we grow,’ as this is key to our growth strategy through additional acquisitions and organic growth. Our team is dedicated to providing innovative solutions that meet the specialized home access and safe transfer needs of children and adults through our holistic approach, free home assessments, and responsive turnaround times.”
