Stairlifts have become a common feature in homes for seniors. There are many Canadians, young and old, who have issues going up and down the stairs. Some have mobility issues, while others are simply not strong enough anymore to continuously use the stairs. If you live in a multi-story home, this can become a big issue. If you can’t use the stairs, you will have limited access to some areas of your home. In these cases, we recommend people install a stair lift.

Here are 3 reasons why stair lifts are the right choice for seniors who live in a multi-story home:

Safety

Safety is always a prime concern as you get older. Having mobility issues is common among seniors. Going up and down the stairs become increasingly challenging as we age. And the stairs are certainly a fall hazard for people of any age, not just seniors.

Installing a stair lift in your home will immediately make it safer for you. There is significantly less of a chance that you will have a fall if you use a stair lift. The lifts are designed and installed specially for your stairs and your mobility needs. They are easy to use and have a variety of safety features that will make it easier for you to go up and down the various levels in your home.

Accessibility

Accessibility is another issue that can creep into our lives as we age. If you have trouble with stairs, then you could be limited to how often you use them. In some cases, you may not be able to access certain levels of your home because the stairs prevent you from doing so. By installing a stair lift, you will instantly be able to access all levels of your home with ease. You can enjoy all areas of your home and not feel like you are restricted to certain areas.

Peace of mind

Having peace of mind in knowing you have additional safety measures in place can help reduce your fear of falling. You will have confidence in your ability to access all areas of your home. But it’s not just peace of mind for you. Your partner, children, and other family members will also feel better about you are living at home and going up and down the stairs if you have access to a stairlift.
