It’s a big thing to invest in a stairlift, whether it’s for yourself or a family member. The thing about stairlifts is that they don’t just affect the person intending on using them, they also have a great impact on the lives of those surrounding said person.
Gives Them Peace of Mind
No matter who your stairlift is for, the peace of mind it gives to the user is extended to those nearest and dearest. It’s always a struggle seeing those you care about unable to move around their own home with ease. No matter what you’re doing during your day-to-day life, there may always be a small concern for the safety of your family member, especially if they have to travel up and down their staircase un aided.
The safety and reliability of a quality stairlift will help you to relax knowing that, no matter who your stairlift is for, it will deliver a comfortable, reliable and safe means of traversing the different levels of your home.
Gives Your Family Back Their Independence
You may be surprised to find that, when taking care of a family member who has trouble with mobility, their inability to move freely around their own home doesn’t just limit their independence; it can also limit their family’s independence too.
Installing a quality stairlift into your home allows the user to experience a freedom of movement they not have experienced in a long time (or at all). It gives the user a feeling of success and it gives their family the chance to carry on with their day-to-day tasks without worry for the safety of their family member.
Won’t Restrict Your Own Movement
There’s a lot of rumours around stairlifts that they take up room on your staircase, making it difficult for other users from passing the stairlift with ease. This is mere rumour, stairlifts, while they do take up a bit of space on your stairs, are specifically designed with the comfort of both user and non user in mind. Curved stairlifts, reconditioned stairlifts and even heavy duty stairlifts are all designed to take up as little space as possible whilst remaining fully functional and safe to use.
