Colorado Mobility

A Stairlift is handy when you have reduced mobility. This can be as a result of ageing, medical conditions or an accident. No matter the cause of limited mobility, the biggest challenge is climbing up and down the stairs. And let’s face it, whether it is down to a basement, or up to another level, Colorado homes have stairs.

This is where a stairlift can come in handy. In recent years, they have become a preferred option for the elderly and other people with reduced mobility.

Why get a stairlift?

1. Increase Freedom

With a stairlift, you don’t have to worry about going up or down the stairs. In fact, you can go up and down the stairs 100 times without worrying about the pain, energy and time it will take. With a stairlift, you have unlimited freedom and you can move around your home without any restrictions or challenges. No more planning your entire day to minimize the number of times you go up the stairs.

2. Using a Stairlift is safe

A lot of thought has gone into making a stairlift the safest and most reliable mode of mechanical transport up and down your home. The safety features that come with a stairlift include a safety belt, which is included on the chair. The system also has a variety of other safety features that prevent operation if there is any obstruction on the path of the stairlift or if you have not placed the armrest and footrest in the right position. Most stairlifts also come with a lock switch that prevents the chair from being used by other people especially children.

3. Stairlifts are comfortable

There are plenty of features built into the system to make sure you’re comfortable every time you use the chair. Various aspects of the chair are adjustable to make it more easily accessible and also to accommodate your height. The chair also has padded armrests and seat to maximize comfort.

4. Full access to the staircase

Installing a staircase doesn’t mean the staircase is not accessible by other people. If you choose the right stairlift depending on the staircase you have, access to the stairs will not be blocked. Most stairlifts have foldable chairs and footrest which you can fold away when the chair is at the top or bottom of the staircase to retain full access to the staircase for other people in the house.

5. A Stairlift is easy to use

Stairlifts are not complicated to operate.  The system is controlled via a toggle switch located on the armrest. If the chair will be used by more than one person, you can choose to have one that has a remote control switch that allows you to call the chair from the top or bottom of the stairs. To make sure you never run out of charge in the middle of the stairs, stairlifts charge when they are in the park position. This way, even if there is a power loss, you will not lose mobility around the house because the system has a power back-up.

6. A stairlift is customizable

Stairlifts are not one-size-fits-all, they are tailored to meet your needs and help you overcome the challenges you might be facing in your home. Before the stairlift is installed, an expert will come to your home and assess all the different aspects like the width, length and design of the staircases and install a stairlift that matches these details.

You shouldn’t let mobility challenges lock you out of your home. With a stairlift, you can comfortably and safely go up and down the stairs without any challenges. The installation of the stairlifts takes less than a day and it is quick so there’s no reason for you not to consider having a stairlift in your home.
