Home Safety Tips for Seniors

Did you know that about two-thirds of falls among seniors occur in the home? As a person ages, his or her mobility naturally decreases due to impaired balance and coordination. However, there are a few precautionary measures you can take to ensure that your home is safe for seniors. For example, removing clutter is important to reduce the risk of tripping, and throw rugs should also be removed or secured with a nonstick pad.

How Williams Lift Company Can Help With All Your Stair Lift Needs

Are you having trouble navigating the stairs in your home? There’s no need to restrict yourself to the first floor or sell your home because of mobility issues. A stair lift provides a safe, economical solution for your mobility needs. Call the friendly, expert staff at Williams Lift Company to learn more about the benefits of installing a stair lift in your home. Keep reading to learn more about our range of stair lifts and our service options.

• Variety of Products

Williams Lift Company is proud to offer Acorn, Bruno, and Sterling stair lifts. One of our representatives will be happy to help you decide which brand is best for your needs. If you require an outdoor stair lift, for example, choose a Bruno Outdoor Elite. The Bruno Electra-Ride III is ideal for those who have curved stairways. Many people prefer the Acorn for its practicality and cost-effectiveness, while the Sterling is also a popular option because it takes up very little space on the stairs.

• Available Rentals

If you have a house guest with limited mobility or you’re recovering from surgery or an injury, a rental might be the best option for you. Renting a stair lift increases the safety of your home for a very low price. Highly trained technicians are available to install your rental within 24 to 48 hours after the measurements are taken.

• Repair Services

At Williams Lift Company, we understand that if your stair lift malfunctions, you need repairs done right away. We offer prompt repair services, usually within 24 hours, whether or not you purchased your Acorn, Bruno, or Sterling stair lift from us. If you did purchase your stair lift from us, we offer priority repair services.

• Buy-Back Programs

If you purchased a stair lift from us and no longer require its services, ask us about our buy-back program. Please call us for an estimate, which will vary depending upon the make, model, and how long it was used.

Surgical Supply Rentals

After undergoing surgery, many patients require complicated—and often expensive—accommodations around their house. Williams Lift Company helps ease the financial strain on surgery patients by renting out surgical equipment at reasonable prices. Those who have undergone hip replacements or knee surgery will benefit from our hip chair, which is specially designed to ease the strain on recovering bones and joints. Our all-electric hospital beds and wheelchairs can assist anyone who has a difficult time standing up. In addition, we offer our full range of mobility ramps and stairway lifts to help patients access upper floors without having to negotiate stairs. Best of all, once your recovery period has ended and you can walk again, you can sell your used stair lifts back to us, and we will distribute them to other surgical patients in need.

A Look at the Ramps Offered By Williams Lift Company

Here at Williams Lift Company, we know everyone needs a ramp for a different reason. That’s why we offer a number of top-quality ramp products from E-Z Access to solve as many mobility issues as possible. Read on to learn about four of the ramps we offer:

• Modular Threshold Ramps

The thresholds in entryways have long been a hazard for seniors and the people with disabilities. Our threshold ramps are the perfect solution for gaining entry to a building without worrying about tripping and falling. They are made of durable, skid-resistant aluminum and are well suited for use with wheelchairs, canes, and walkers.

• TRIFOLD Advantage Series Ramp

Wheelchair and scooter users alike will enjoy the convenience offered by this cleverly designed ramp. Each one contains a unique three-fold design with ergonomic handles for easy transportation. Once they are unfolded and set up, they allow for fast, easy access to raised landings and vehicles. From a safety standpoint, TRIFOLD ramps also include reflective safety strips, an applied skid-resistant surface, and self-adjusting transition plates to help you mount the ramp easier.

• PATHWAY Classic Series Ramp

This ramp is designed for maximum safety, reliability, and ease-of-use. Its no slip-aluminum design makes it ideal for use in virtually any weather condition. Due to its portability, this ramp is ideal in homes where mobility needs may change.

• Modular Ramp System

This standing walkway comes complete with handrails and platforms for easy access and use, and all parts of the system come pre-assembled and can be quickly installed. As opposed to some of the bulkier ramps available, E-Z Access ramps have a sleek and modern look and feel, making them work in just about any setting.
