For a lot of people, old age has a detrimental effect on their movement capabilities and can become a real struggle. These can include amongst others, walking any distance, bathing and climbing up or down the stairs. Fortunately, there are many assisted living aids that can help older individuals maintain their independence as well as their safety and help them to manage themselves and their lives better. Stated by the NHS, the assisted living aids can include wheelchairs, walking sticks, oxygen bottles and even stair lifts which are made to aid anyone who has trouble getting up and down the stairs.

The benefits of having a stairlifts installation to maintain your ability to traverse a stair case in old age are many. Firstly, the installation of a stair lift can prevent severe or life threatening injuries. As we grow older, our bones and bodies slowly get weaker and weaker and any case of falling can cause severe damage. For example, a few years ago my grandmother fell down the stairs whilst trying to carry laundry and broke her hip. In this situation, the installation of a stair lift would be incredibly beneficial to aid her in doing such a simple task as carrying the laundry up or down without the risk of injury.

Another benefit to the installation of having a stair lift is a financial one. The installation would mean that there would be no need to build an additional bedroom on the first floor of the property or the possibility of having to move to a bungalow. Not only does this save money up front, but over time it will save you considerable amounts in the long run. Having a stairlifts can also boost the confidence of the user by giving them the independence they want to finish tasks on their own.
