Stair Lift
If you have
difficulty going up and down stairs, or use a walker or wheelchair,
stairs can be a huge obstacle. You may be thinking about remodeling or
even selling your house because of your stairs. Before you do, consider
a stair lift.
Stair lifts are also
known as stair gliders, stair chairs or chair lifts. They carry the
disabled or the elderly gently and safely up the stairs. Make sure that
the stair lift can swivel at the upper landing and turn away from the
stairs to provide a confident and safe method to get off. If the stair
lift comes with a remote control, it will assist the caregiver in case
the individual could not operate the controls themselves.
When selecting a stair lift make sure it can maneuver curved and narrow
stairs. It should also negotiate corridors and intermediate landings
without any problem. There should be a battery back up available in the
stair lift so that during power outages, the lift should continue to
operate.
One of life’s pleasures is to relax in the bath easing away the aches,
stresses and pains. To assist the disabled and the senior citizens
lacking easy mobility to enjoy the therapeutic value of a bath, a bath
lift can be used also.
For just about any kind of stair lift you might have, there's a stair
lift that will fit. Simple Straight stairs require just a few hours for
installation. Curved staircases or those with more complex
configurations (such as multiple landings or unusual doorways) can be
custom-built to suit your individual needs.
I hope this information helps because some people don't
know certain items like these are available.
