Choosing Between Stair Lifts & Wheelchair Lifts

Stair lifts and wheelchair lifts are both used to transport people up and down staircases. However, these lifts can especially be of use in outdoor settings, such as public access buildings, as well as outside private homes to allow users easy access in and out of the house. Wheelchair lifts typically use much heavier construction, as the lift must support the weight of the wheelchair as well as the weight of the person.

The major benefit of a lift is, of course, an improvement in your quality of life. Many people move into assisted living facilities because they can no longer live independently in their own homes. However, with a lift, you’ll no longer have feelings of anxiety or dread when going up or down the stairs. Since many people have lived in their homes for a long period of time, they see the spaces as “safe” even though they may not be in terms of mobility.

Of course, some people think that the lift itself is a hassle. And that can be perfectly understandable if they feel the lift is complicated to use.
