A stair lift is a mobility assistance device that allows those who cannot use stairs to remain in their homes. Stair lifts can be added to any staircase to provide both assistance for those who need it and a walking path for those who don’t. Lifts come in many designs and styles, and they offer many features to consider when choosing the option that fits your needs and your home.
Who Needs A Stair Lift?
Stair lifts are designed to assist those who cannot climb or descend stairs. They are motorized devices that use a rail system to carry passengers between floors. A stair lift can be either a temporary or permanent addition to a home to provide mobility, independence, and comfort. Stair lifts are ideal for many people, including the elderly, the disabled, and those who have a long-term injury or sickness. Those suffering from conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and even Parkinson’s or other mobility disorders can also enjoy the independence and ease of a stair lift.
What Are My Options?
There is a stair lift option to meet every preference and need. Safety is as important as aesthetics, so be sure to ask about the safety features of the stair lifts you are considering. Some offer childproof controls, obstacle sensors, and battery backups in case there is a power failure. Lifts can be designed to either carry a passenger who is seated or standing, so consider how you would like to travel and your specific needs. Some stair lifts also feature wireless or calling options that are ideal for a home in which more than one person will be using the lift. Other features you may want to consider are swivel seats for ease of embarkation and disembarkation, joystick versus push-button controls, and audio signals for those with poorer sight.

When you are planning to add a wheelchair ramp to your home or business, it’s important to remember that not all ramps are the same. These mobility devices can be specialized to meet your usage needs in a number of ways. Whether you need a ramp for heavy or light use, there is a wheelchair ramp that is right for you.
Weight and Construction
Calculating the weight requirements your ramp must endure may also help you decide which material should be used. You should also consider how much the ramp itself will weigh, especially if you plan to move it from place to place. A lightweight ramp made from aluminum is much more portable than a heavy wooden wheelchair ramp. You may want to match your ramp to the construction of your home or office, so ask to see all the possible materials and finishes to help you decide.
Size
The size of your ramp will be determined not only by the width of the traffic it must accommodate, but also by the width of the stairs or doorways where it will be installed. Many doors are built to a standard width, but you should measure exactly where your ramp will go to avoid costly mistakes—particularly if you need a ramp that can be moved. Measure every location that your ramp will need to fit so you can ensure that it is not too large or too small to safely affix.
Cost
Your budget may also determine the ramp you ultimately choose. Talk to your provider about your options and your needs to ensure you can find a ramp that does the job you need at a price you can afford. Especially if you need your ramp to bear heavy loads or cover a large area, ask how you can cut costs in other aspects of your ramp, such as the material from which it is constructed.
