The Long-Term Benefits of Installing a Curved Stairlift in Your Home
Got curved stairs? Got a senior living with you who now has trouble getting up and down those stairs? A curved stairlift installation could be an ideal solution.
A stairlift is essentially a powered chair that moves up and down the stairs on a rail that’s mounted to one side of the staircase. There are indoor and outdoor designs available to suit both straight and curved staircases.
Who can benefit from a stairlift? According to the United Disabilities Services Foundation, any individual who struggles with limited mobility is a good candidate for a home stairlift. The Home Healthsmith team features professionals who are trained and experienced in all things related to stairlift installation!
Benefits of Curved Stairlifts
Curved stairlifts are helpful for seniors, as well as for those who may suffer from particular disabilities, or are in the process of recovering from injuries.
Here are some of the benefits you can expect to receive from curved stairlift installation:
Improved Mobility and Independence
If it’s hard for the senior or other adult with mobility issues under your care to climb and descend stairs, a curved stairlift installation can be a game changer.
Having access to a stairlift improves mobility, and offers greater independence for those who’d like to be able to navigate around multiple floors of the home without the need of any other assistance.
Customized Curved Stairlift to Fit Any Staircase
Curved stairlifts can be tailored to suit the design of any curved staircase. If you’re wondering whether a curved stairlift can be designed to match the layout of your home stairs, rest assured that it can. In fact, every stairlift solution we install at Home Healthsmith is customized to fit the unique footprint of your set of stairs.
Curved Stairlifts Offer Safety and Peace of Mind
All of the stairlifts we provide at Home Healthsmith include several built-in safety features, including a seat belt, safety sensors on the power pack and footplate, and an easily accessible key switch that’s designed to help prevent any unauthorized use.
Safety and peace of mind come standard with every stairlift product we offer and install.
Curved Stairlifts Increase Property Value and Marketability
It’s been noted by real estate professionals that there’s a positive correlation between adding accessibility features and increasing home property value. Beyond the immediate return on investment that comes with improving home mobility for the seniors in your present care, you can also expect to gain a favorable return when and if you decide to sell your property at some point down the road.
Curved Stairlifts Are Cost-Effective Over Time
Compared to other alternative solutions, the installation of a curved stairlift can be much more cost-effective.
Home elevator installation is more expensive, and also requires more extensive modifications to your current interior floorplan. Unless you want to undergo the hassle of trying to sell your home and finding a single-story unit to relocate to, you’ll find that installing a curved stairlift is a much easier solution for being able to stay put and allow your senior(s) to age in place.
Having a curved stairlift installed can also help your senior to avoid painful and costly injuries, along with any related caregiver expenses.
