By Alfix | August 9, 2023

If you or your loved one is on the fence about having a stairlift installed, we are here to give you a gentle reminder of the benefits that come with having a stairlift! To find out more about why you or a loved one could benefit from a stairlift installation, keep on reading!

Safety

One of the main reasons people decide to have stairlifts installed is for safety. If you or your loved one needs to access the upper or lower floor of their house, and walking is not a safe option, then a stairlift is a good way to mitigate this.

Stairlifts will be installed in the safest way possible, ensuring the seat of the stairlift is safe and accessible to your loved one. Safety is very important, not only to the user, but to friends and family too, and they will have peace of mind knowing that their loved one is at lower risk of falling or tripping.

Easy To Use

Stairlifts are simple to use and easy to install too. Once your stairlift has been put into your home, using it will be nice and simple too.

Stairlifts typically come with one of these control mechanisms:

  • A remote
  • A joystick
  • Ergonomic switch

Which are all easy and convenient options. You can discuss these with your installer and they will be able to point you to the best fit.

Short- Or Long-Term Solution

If you need a stairlift for a short-term injury, you can most likely find a range of rental services that allow you to temporarily install a stairlift. This can be convenient for minor and short-term injuries. On the other hand, if you require a stairlift for prolonged conditions and ageing in general, then permanent solutions are available.

Independence & Freedom

Having a stairlift can help you or your loved one regain their independence and freedom to move around the house again. As our bodies slow down with age, it can be demotivating and difficult to process. So, having a stairlift will allow the user to get up and down the stairs freely!

Building Confidence

Regaining their independence can make you or your loved one feel more confident and start to have a more positive outlook on life. Being able to move independently will also allow you to feel less worried about your loved one and about their safety.
