Understanding Home Health Care

When I was diagnosed with a serious condition, I didn't know where to start with my treatment. Fortunately, my doctor recommended a great home health care company, and they came right in to take care of things. They were incredibly kind and caring, and before I knew it, I started to feel a lot better. I wanted to create a blog all about home health care to remove some of the misconceptions people have about the service. This blog is dedicated to creating an environment of healing right inside of your very home. Check out this blog for great information.

Things You Should Know When Considering A Stair Lift For Your House

Blog

Stair lifts are not a new invention, but the design of these medical lifts has changed, making them more efficient and easier to install than the lifts of the past. Medical stair lift chairs are to make it easier for people with disabilities or health issues to continue living in their homes and maintain their independence. A lift installed by a professional installer can do that.

Stair Lift Designs

When considering a stair lift chair for your home, you first need to look carefully at the designs available to find one that will be easy to use in your situation. You must be able to get in and out of the chair. For someone in a wheelchair, you may need a stair lift with no chair but uses a platform that you can roll onto and then ride up the stairs in your chair.

The lift must also be able to traverse the stairs easily while still allowing room for people to walk up and down the stairs when necessary. If you have stairs with several landings or a curved staircase that you want to use a stair lift on, the lift company will need to use the right track parts, but modern stair lift chairs are easily adapted to most staircases as long as they have a standard size and rise.

For unique situations, stair lift manufacturers can make a custom lift for your home. However, the cost will be higher than a standard design in most cases. A set of stairs that is overly steep may not work well for the lift, but the installation company can come and assess the home and stairs and recommend the best solution for your situation. 

In-Home Consultation

Before you decide on installing a stair lift chair in your home, it is good to have a dealer come to your home and look over the location you want to use the lift. The representative can go over the type of lifts available, the cost of them, and how long they take to install. 

Often stair lift manufacturers offer accessories to go with the lift, like a remote key fob to activate the lift or call it from back from one floor to the other if used in one direction. This can be the case if two people in the home are sharing the use of the lift and one leaves it at the top or bottom of the stairs. 

It is also essential to determine the size and style of the stair lift to ensure it will support you comfortably when you are using it. Once all the details are worked out, the representative or dealer can send an installer to your home to put the lift in and get it up and running.
