Accessibility: Helping Seniors Stay in their Homes with a Stair Lift

While the straight run stair lift is by far the most popular installation for a stairway lift, technology improvements have made it possible to fit many other types of stairs.

curved stair lift While stair lifts for curved or angled stairs are more expensive to install than straight runs, there are often alternatives such as using straight lifts or recycled curved or angled rails that can reduce the cost to the client.

Silver Cross is one of the few companies that recycles straight and curved stair lifts. They buy stair lifts back from their clients, refurbish them and configure them to meet the needs of another client.

Other considerations when selecting a lift are whether to choose battery power, the type of rail and the need for seat or footplate adjustment will depend on the needs of the client and the layout of the home.

angled stair lift Stair lift technology has developed rapidly over the last few years and these products are available to meet a wide variety of situations and when properly configured can be a solution to improve accessibility.

A good source of information on stair lifts that agencies and professionals have found useful can be found at Silvercross.
