What Is a Stair Lift?
Stair lifts, or stairlifts, are special pieces of equipment that are installed in homes and other facilities to assist people in getting up or down stairs. For seniors, people recovering from surgical procedures, and those with various injuries, walking up or down steps can be painful and even dangerous. Stair lifts feature a track or rail mounted to your staircase and a seat that users sit in as they travel up or down. They are designed with motors that are usually built into the seat, allowing them to move at slow speeds for safe traveling.
Stair lifts are typically easy to use. Many feature buttons built into the chair, while others may come with remote controls. Stair lift chairs are also made for comfort, with padded seats, integrated footrests, and adjustable features. This helps users avoid aches and pains as they travel up or down stairs.
What Are the Benefits of Having a Stair Lift in My Home?
People who use wheelchairs, canes, walkers, or other mobility aids may need additional help getting around. Installing a stair lift in your home is a great choice to provide accessibility to different levels. Advantages of these helpful devices include:
Reduced Pain and Strain
Bodies do a lot of work just moving up and down stairs. For those with mobility issues, this everyday act can cause a lot of pressure on the joints in areas like the knees, ankles, and hips. Using a stair lift helps prevent these potential aches and pains that can happen as part of your daily routine.
Enhanced Independence
Those who rely on assistance from others often feel a sense of dependence. If you live with someone and feel as though you’re constantly asking for assistance, this can leave you feeling down. Installing a stair lift in your home means you will no longer need to ask for help from others just to maneuver around your own living spaces.
Valuable Time Saved
Those who have trouble getting around often take longer to do simple tasks. If you need to move up or down stairs throughout the day, this can be rather time-consuming and might make you alter your plans for the day. Having a stair lift at your disposal means you’ll be able to move floors more quickly, saving more time for the activities you love.
