Handicap stair lifts make such a vast difference to the ability of people disabled in any way to go about their daily business with little or no stress.

Even if we are just talking about within their own home, they could have been confined to a lower level because they have no way of reaching the upper level without constant help.

If this person relies solely on family or carers they are going to feel so beholden and uncomfortable for always having to wait for someone to take them up the stairs. A feeling nobody wants to experience.

Having one of these stair lifts, their life will be transformed, at least as far as mounting stairs is concerned. No longer will they have problems such as having to wait until it is convenient for someone else to help them.

They can achieve freedom of movement about their own home.

The lift itself is very easily installed, merely tracks fixed to the steps themselves. On this is a chair with armrests which usually contain all the controls for the lift. A footrest which along with the arms will fold up and out of the way when the lift is not in use.

There are some models which give you an infra-red remote control which allows you to call up the chair or to send it down, without you being seated on it.

If your stairs are straight up you will have no problem whatsoever, but if there is a curve you are going to have to have the tracks made to order to suit the particular curve of your staircase. This will of course add to the purchase price.

Stairs which turn either to the right or left from a small quarter landing do not present a problem, you can have a small drop down panel which covers this little well to allow the lift to continue up the next flight.

Most models have a sensor which can tell if anything has been left on the stairs and it will come to a stop until whatever is on the stairs, has been removed.

Handicap stair lifts within the home usually run on AC current from your home supply, but if you live in an area that constantly suffers power disruptions you may feel it prudent to opt for a battery operated lift. This precludes anyone getting stuck half way up or down the stairs.

These batteries are completely rechargeable and work on direct current, so no problems there

Handicap stair lifts, or indeed any other stair lift should expect to have around 20 years of productive life providing you choose to buy from a reputable supplier and choose a good brand.
