Westlake Porter Public Library Receives Grant for Universal Changing Table, The Villager
Westlake Porter Public Library has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities to purchase and install a universal changing table. The grant is part of a broader initiative to increase the number of universal changing tables in Cuyahoga County.
The new changing table is now available for use in the family restroom located in the Youth Services Department. With a weight capacity of up to 1,000 pounds, the table is designed to accommodate adults as well as children, making it easier for caregivers to assist individuals with disabilities in need of self-care services such as diaper changes, colostomy care, and catheter maintenance.
