Stair lifts for the
elderly
Stair lifts can offer the
elderly a chance to remain in their homes - even after their
mobility has become restricted.
Many people find it more
difficult to climb stairs as they get older.
Even if householders are
comfortable on level ground, they may be in pain or
discomfort if they have to walk up stairs.
A stair lift can help senior
citizens stay in their homes by making it easy to go from
one floor to another.
Sometimes it may be that a
householder has an injury and installing a stair lift for
the time it takes to recover can be of great help. Stair
lifts can be hired from some companies as well as
purchased.
A properly installed stair
lift will offer a safe way for an elderly person with
impaired mobility to go up and down stairs.
Responsible manufacturers
and installers will be able to give detailed advice about
the most suitable stair lift for your property.
You may want a straight
stair lift or your stairs may require the fitting of a
curved stairlift.
Things to consider include
the level of warranty and the cost of installation and
maintenance. It may be worth contacting your local authority
or other agencies to see if financial assistance can be
provided to help with the cost of the stair lift.
