While going up and down the stairs may not be something you have thought twice about in the past, it can become an issue as we get older. Injuries, health conditions and mobility issues can all make using stairs difficult and potentially dangerous.

Here are 5 reasons you may need a stair lift installed in your home:

You Are No Longer Physically Able To Use Stairs

As we age, a variety of health conditions can impact our ability to use stairs. If you are no longer physically able to use stairs, use a cane or walker to get around, a stair lift can help you get up and down the stairs with ease.

Mobility Problems

Mobility problems make stairs more challenging. Whether you have a leg injury, leg weakness, poor balance, or vision issues, they can all increase the risk of using stairs. Stair lifts can help you safely get up and down the stairs at home.

You Don’t Want To Risk Falling

For some people, using the stairs is just not worth the risk. Even if you are healthy, there is always a chance you could have a fall. Many seniors install stair lifts as a proactive and precautionary measure.

You Don’t Want To Leave Your Home

The overwhelming majority of seniors and those with mobility issues don’t want to leave the home they love. They want to stay right where they are, even if this means making modifications to their home. A stair life allows you not only remain at home, but also access all levels of your home.

You Are Caring For A Loved One

Many families choose to care for loved ones in their home. When you take in your mother or father, it’s common to make modifications to your home to make it as comfortable and accessible for them as possible. A stair lift ensures they can fully access your home and get up and down the stairs, even when there is no one home to help them.
