10 Signs You’re Ready for a Stairlift

The cost of installing a stairlift can be a larger investment. It makes sense that you could be unclear about whether or not you require a lift. We are projected to climb and descend our stairs approximately 250,000 times over our lives, thus it is predictable that as we age, we may begin to have trouble doing so.

We frequently hear people say, “I wish I had a stairlift installed sooner,” based on our experience. We often deal with clients who are purchasing a lift for their loved ones out of concern for their safety and well-being. A stairlift, in contrast, is seen by the parent as a sign of diminished independence. In actuality, the reverse is true. People can become more independent while lowering their home injury risk by using a stairlift.

Here are 10 signs that your loved one would need a stairlift:

1. A stairlift might help you regain access to your home if it has more than one storey and you are finding it difficult to move around.
2. The likelihood of hospital stays and extended periods of rehabilitation following falls is higher. Regrettably, some people lack the strength to bounce back from a fall at all. This may lead to permanent placement in a care home or, more tragically, to a person’s demise.
3. You can use a stairlift to safely access different floors of your home if you are limited in your mobility due to a neurological ailment, such as Parkinson’s disease or a stroke.
4. Although you might be discouraged by the idea that your property is ineligible for a stairlift, you can rest easy knowing that there is a stairlift available for practically all stair types, including straight, curved, and narrow staircases. As a result, your needs and situation would be appropriately matched.
5. Additional handrails are sometimes installed for people to use to help them balance when climbing stairs. It is not what they are intended for if you find yourself pulling yourself up using the rail. Consider the stress it is placing on your back, neck, and shoulders, which could have an impact on your health. Your body and joints experience no pressure at all when using a stairlift.
6. A stair lift could ensure that your family is no longer concerned about having to be on call around the clock if you are afraid of being a burden.
7. Occasionally, a gradual or abrupt decrease in mobility might make climbing stairs more difficult or even impossible. You can rapidly install a stairlift to help you reclaim your independence and usage of your entire home.
8. A stair lift can be the best option if climbing the stairs causes you to feel lightheaded and out of breath.
9. How would you handle an emergency? In the event of a power outage, stairlifts in the home will continue to operate normally, just like other battery backup devices like a burglar alarm system.
10. Aches and frequent pains? Installing a stairlift will significantly reduce the aches and pains that come with ageing, particularly when climbing stairs.
