Residential Stairlift
Life, as we know, happens. We all age with time and with age comes accessibility concerns all over our everyday lives. The easiest way to eliminate the most dangerous aspect of your aging parents home is to instal a residential stairlift. There are more benefits behind this than just safety and we’ve gathered some of those reasons to share with you. Still unsure about installing a stairlift in your home or your parents home? Give us a call today and see if it’s the right choice for you.
Reduced Risk of Injury
First of all, the most obvious reason for installing a residential stairlift in a home belonging to someone who’s mobility is decreasing would be for safety purposes. With the stairs being one of the most dangerous areas in a home, a stairlift can almost completely eliminate this risk for severe or life threatening injury. Besides, the last place you want to end up is in the emergency or trying to battle an injury because the stairs won the battle. Installing a stairlift will help to remove the risk of accessing your entire home and not being limited to a single floor when you’re on your own.
Saves Money
You might be wondering where we’re going with this, but hear us out. When you instal a residential stairlift for yourself or someone who has mobility issues, you can actually end up with more money in your pocket in the long run. When you think about it, one of the only alternatives is usually to purchase a new home which consists of only a single level, which can be a costly process. On the extreme end, monthly costs for a long-term care home can be potentially astronomical.
Keep Active
This may also sound somewhat counter intuitive, but we think it’s a good point to consider. When an elderly couple has access to all areas of their home, it’s more likely for them to perform more tasks during the day. If they’re contained to only certain areas of their home, there is less tasks that can be done every day. Being able to move freely and easily between floors will give access to additional things such as laundry or a craft room. A residential stairlift has not only a physical benefit but also a mental benefit. Being confined to a specific room or area of the house can make most people mentally exhausted through boredom and inactivity. The most beneficial thing an elderly person can do for themselves is stay busy, both mentally and physically.
Residential Stairlift Will Keep Everyone Happier
Being able to continue independency and stay busy with whatever you love to do will always increase your happiness. You probably remember when you bought your first home, or when you finally got your license and were able to go almost anywhere (as long as you had gas money). Well it’s the same thing for elderly couples or individuals. Maintaining that level of independence with a residential stairlift is very possible. In addition, having someone else who you have to take care of constantly and perform simple yet unattainable tasks for isn’t enjoyable either. When we go to our parents or grandparents home, we want to be able to enjoy the time and not always spending it doing the dishes or changing the laundry and moving items to different places in the house. A residential stairlift can restore the enjoyment of quality time with our loved ones and regain the connection we should have with our family and friends.
