Indoor and Outdoor Stair Lifts are Safe and Easy to Install
Do you or a loved one struggle with the stairs? Instead of having to live downstairs with the upper floors off limits and not being used, or having to make expensive and stressful alterations to your home, consider installing a stair lift instead.
Stair lifts provide more than just a means of getting from the downstairs floor of a house to the upstairs and vice versa— they also represent mobility and independence and provide the full use of your home. A stair lift can be installed in any home, normally at the edge of your already existing staircase. You merely sit on the stair lift chair (complete with adjustable footrests and armrests) while the motor gently moves you between the floors of your home. The speed of the stair lift is slow and steady to ensure a smooth ride. A lift stair is a convenient and safe option to the tiresome ascending and descending you may be used to. It also reduces wear and tear on your joints.
Besides being comfortable, a lift stair is very safe. They automatically stop whenever there is a problem with the armrest or seat and whenever the chair reaches the bottom or the top. They also come with child safety locks and automatically stop if an obstruction is encountered along its path. This is ideal if you have small pets that like to follow you or like to sleep at the bottom of the stairs, but are not always easy to see.
Stair lifts intended for outdoor use are just as comfortable and quiet as those made for indoors. An outside stair lift can be ideal during wet or icy weather, providing peace of mind and preventing a possible fall.
You will find that installing a stair lift will give you access to your entire home again. It is also a much more cost effective solution than having to relocate to a single story, ranch style home if you are happy with where you now live.
