There are numerous stair lifts for sale on the market this guide will hopefully give you a sense of what features you need for your home.
Before you begin to look at the many options available for you ask yourself first whether you need one and whether buying a stair lift is going to improve your quality of life.
Often as we get older getting up and down the stairs can become a challenge. It can also pose a risk to safety if you are prone to tripping, falling or dizziness.
Having trouble with the stairs can be particularly distressing if your bathroom facilities are upstairs. Some may consider rearranging their homes to allow them to live entirely on the ground floor; however, this may mean having to make use of a commode and temporary bathing facilities.
You may have considered moving house altogether, into a bungalow or ground floor flat, sheltered accommodation or a care home.
You may not want the upheaval of moving house or inconvenience of rearranging your home. You may not want to buy additional products to enable you to live downstairs or change your lifestyle. However, if you do want a safe way to access your full house, the confidence to use the stairs again and to carry on living independently in your own home then installing a stair lift in your home may be the practical and cost effective solution you are looking for.
