What Exactly is a Home Stair Lift Anyways?
from:What exactly is a home stair lift? For the elderly and people
with various handicaps, a stair lift is an answered prayer.
Imagine having trouble getting around and living in a two-story
home all by yourself. You need to be able to upstairs and
downstairs as you wish.
But, by doing so, you increase your risk of breaking your hip or
worse from falling down the stairs. In this situation, you have
several options. You can't try to live out of the downstairs of
your house. You could hire a helper to go up and downstairs for
you as well as help you up and down safely. Or, you could forego
all that, become more independent and enjoy more mobility by
having what's called a stair lift.
Essentially, a home stair lift is a motorized chair that's
attached to a stair way railing. It goes up the staircase and
down. The user simply sits in it, buckled in and is able to
safely go up and down the stairs as they please - fulfilling
their daily tasks.
There are all sorts of makes; models ands styles of home stair
lifts as there are chairs. Most of them run on a battery or
electrical power source. They're usually very quiet - even
whisper quiet and they move without jolting the person seated in
the chair. A joystick on the chair is manipulated by the user to
go up and down the stairs.
Over the next few years, demand for home stair lifts will
continue to increase and stair lifts will become more of a
regular feature in people's two-story homes.
