Many elderly and other handicapped individuals live in homes with stairs. Going up and down the stairs is a major complaint by many handicapped individuals and the elderly. Individuals may not be able to go up or down the stairs because of problems with their age, weakness in muscles, arthritis, paralysis, or amputations of extremities. For these individuals, they have no choice but to remain downstairs or on the ground floor. For many individuals this was the only option for decades. This option is also not great if there are no personal care facilities on the ground floor.
Many elderly individuals and handicapped patients have lived their entire lives under such miserable conditions simply because they could afford to live anywhere else, nor did they have money to make extensive home renovations.
Now there is a reasonably priced option for many individuals who have stairs in the house but cannot walk.
In the last decade, several home design companies have come up with stair lifts that are easy to install and can be used immediately. One does not need to break the home down to install these stair lifts. The stair lifts can carry you upstairs and also bring you downstairs, safely and fast.
Stair lifts are an excellent choice for individuals who live in multi story homes but are not able to go up or downstairs. These automatic stair lifts are not bulky or obvious and do not take up too much room on the stair case.
