How to find the right stairlift model for you

You have unique needs, and possibly those needs have changed over time. As you get older or when your movability starts to shift, you may consider making life alterations to improve your quality of life. You may start eating more vegetables, or you may take up a new hobby, or you may install a home assistive device; all of these can make a difference in how you live your day today. The addition of a stairlift in your home could change the way you move throughout your home. Deciding to add a stairlift is sometimes tricky, but this helpful guide determines which stairlift is right for your unique situation.    

The Straight Stairlift    

If you are looking for a double-story option for your simple set of stairs, a straight stairlift might be right for you. A straight lift is composed of a carriage and a single rail; the simplistic approach can make a big difference in your mobility.  To see if a straight stairlift will fit your home, the stairs need to be measured often for the height of your staircase, so installation time is minimal. If it is becoming increasingly difficult to use the stairs in your own home or see a change in how you can move throughout your house, adding a stairlift can be a wise option.   

Curved Stairlift   

Manufactures created the curved stairlift to aid you in your mobility needs on more complex staircases. If your staircase has a landing, curvature, or twists, a curved stairlift is one of the best options to purchase for your needs. Curved stairlifts are a little more complicated to set up because they are typically made to fit. However, installation is still relatively speedy because the lift fixes the stairs, not the wall. If stairs are not working for you anymore and your independence has changed, a curved stairlift might be in the cards for you.    

Outdoor Stairlift    

The outdoor stairlift essentially has the same functionality as a straight stairlift made to fit your outdoor spaces. However, if the outside is not currently your strong suit, a stairlift could change all that. You may enjoy pleasant summer evenings again on the patio or get back to your life of gardening; an outdoor stairlift can help you revisit the great outdoors again. With an outdoor cover and built-in hazard detector, you and your lift can safely travel the spaces outside of your home.    

All Models     

All of these models are created for the same purpose, helping you travel the stairs safely. You can genuinely change the way you think about your mobility with the installation of a stairlift. No matter what model you get, you can rest assured it will be backed by the strictest of safety standards. From safety belts to remote controls to diagnostic displays, you have safety on your side. Mobility shouldn't be a struggle even as you age with a straight, curved, or outdoor stairlift gain more confidence when you use the stairs.    

No matter the lift that fits you best, you can bring more confidence and independence when using the stairs. Change the way you move through your home with the addition of a stairlift.
