Why use a Stairlift?
Why use a Stairlift?
Stairs can be a burden for people who have difficulty in climbing them. They may be the elderly, handicapped or those who are temporary or permanently injured. And if you are one, you might consider using other means of getting onto another floor. For large buildings, there are elevators and escalators that make it easier for people to go from one floor to another. But what if it is just an ordinary house or a simple building?
A great option in solving this issue would be installing and using your very own stairlift. For starters, stairlifts are motorized devices installed on a staircase and allow them to go up and down. Other types of stairlifts are wheelchair stairlifts, curved stairlifts and the most common straight rail stairlift. Straight rail stairlifts usually have a customized seat where a person can sit comfortably.
Besides this, there are other benefits of having a stairlift.
- You don’t need to be put in another facility or move downstairs
In some instances the elderly and the handicapped are put in a care facility because they can no longer move about in their own home. Others however, choose to stay at home but completely live on the first floor of their house. This might prove frustrating and depressing. Having a stairlift at home changes this. Elderly and handicapped people do not have to worry about changing places or living uncomfortably.
- You can still be independent and experience hassle-free living
Moving up and down the stairs can become too much and might require assistance. Some people see this as depressing and frustrating since their movements become more restricted. Having stairlift in your home will give them the freedom to move around the house or building without the need for assistance. This will also boost self-esteem since the people who will use it will be confident enough to move around the house. It will also be comfortable for people to move up and down the stairs.
- Safety
Without assistance, the elderly and handicapped may slip and fall from stairs. These accidents can be prevented by using a stairlift.
