Parkinson’s disease is a condition that affects the nervous system, and there are currently around 127,000 people in the UK living with this disease – that’s the equivalent of one in every 500. As Parkinson’s impacts movement, sufferers may be more prone to accidents in the home. However, having a stairlift can go a long way to helping a sufferer manage their condition more effectively.
Avoid Trips and Falls
For a Parkinson’s sufferer, walking up and down the stairs every day can be a very challenging task. With conditions that affect movement and muscle control, there is a greater risk of you or your loved one falling, which can lead to serious injuries. A stairlift can give you the peace of mind that you or your loved will be able to get up and down the stairs safely.
Greater Independence
A stairlift can help you become more independent as you can move around your home without the need of a carer. You will be more able to take on your everyday home tasks with less stress due to the assistance of your stairlift.
Easy to Install
For those that suffer with a condition that impacts mobility, the installation of a stairlift can seem like a daunting task. However, a major benefit to having ALS Stairlifts complete your installation is the ease with which we can do this. Our engineers can usually complete the installation within the same day so you needn’t worry about unnecessary disruption.
Better Management of Condition
Having a stairlift can do wonders in helping you to manage your condition more effectively. Not only are you able to get around your home more easily, you will be given a greater sense of independence.
