If you’re struggling to cope with the stairs in your home, how about starting the New Year with a resolution to do something about it? Having a home stairlift installed would enhance your life, not just for this New Year but for years to come.
Lots of things can start to make your stairs an ordeal, from just getting older and less agile to health conditions such as arthritis, which makes moving around more difficult and/or painful. Whatever causes your difficulty, it undermines your independence at home. You can only really be independent when you’re safe, but declining mobility puts your safety in doubt on the stairs, where a trip or fall could be disastrous. The good news is you can reclaim your independence with a home stairlift to keep you safe and secure on the stairs. It lets you ride up and down the stairs at the touch of a button and without needing anyone to support or watch over you.
With a stairlift installed you can remain living independently in your home. You won’t need to reorganize rooms and give up half your home to live on just one floor or face the emotional upheaval and expense of moving to a new property without stairs. Some people delay getting a stairlift for months or even years because they don’t want to admit they can no longer manage the stairs. For them, buying a stairlift feels like giving up their independence. But after experiencing the huge difference it makes to their lives, they realize it does exactly the opposite – it preserves and protects their independence at home.
With a home stairlift installed you can turn around a worsening situation and win back your independence. Loved ones who previously worried about your safety on the stairs will also share in the peace of mind it brings. If you worry about the cost of a stairlift, or whether one will fit on your staircase, there’s a simple way to find out for sure. Reputable suppliers offer a free no-obligation home survey and quote service. An experienced stairlift surveyor will measure your staircase and assess your needs. Also, they will explain what type of stairlift you need and how much it will cost.
Because it’s impossible to know exactly what’s needed for an installation before a survey, most suppliers will only give a final quote after it’s been carried out. Make sure the quote has no hidden extras and remains valid for a set period, giving you time to make up your mind. Because the quote is free, you can get several to compare from competing suppliers. If you’re finding the stairs a struggle, a stairlift offers a great way to start the New Year, securing your independence now and for the future.
