Stair Lift

A stair lift is a mechanical device used to transport people up and down the side of a stairway. They come in a variety of different shapes and sizes and can usually be installed in a short period of time. If you're having problems or difficulties walking up and down your stairs, a stair lift could provide you with some relief.

Stair Lift Safety Advice

Whether or not you're planning on installing the stair lift yourself or hiring a contractor to install one for you, make sure that you read and understand how to operate the stair lift correctly.

Some of them come with safety mechanisms that could create a problem for you also, if they ever got turned off accidentally. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to contact a repairman to fix your stair lift, only to find out that a switch or key wasn't turned on.

Home Purchasing Advice For Anyone Over 50 Years Old
