What is a Stair lift?

By Flemming Andersen

A stair lift is something that more and more people are getting put in their homes. This is going to help people who cannot get around like they once did and it will allow them the freedom to live in their own homes on their own.

A stair lift can be used in just about any home. They are special chairs that are put on the wall where your staircase is in your home. This chair has a motor attached to it that will lift a person up and down the stairs. This is some thing that will come in very handy for anyone that has a hard time going up or down stairs. You simply sit in the chair and the stair lift will gently take you up and down.

Most of the elderly people that live alone in a two-story home rely on a stair lift to help them go up and down their stairs safely. For one reason or another, these people are not supposed to or cannot go up and down stairs on their own. With a stair, lift the elderly people who have this problem will feel more independent and free to do the things that they have always done on their own.

Many stair lift companies will install the lifts in elderly or handicap people
