Stairlifts Kingsbridge

If the thought of accessing any location within your home makes you squeeze your face into a worried frown, then it seems you are not feeling at home.

A home should be a refuge; a place of comfort, free expression and unhindered movement. Your home is meant to be a source of happiness. But how can you be full of joy when your mobility is restricted in your home?

There is no doubt that old age or physical challenges adversely affect mobility, most especially in houses that have staircases. Most seniors or people suffering from certain physical limitations, experience great difficulty ascending and descending staircases, with some of them unable to even attempt the stairs at all.

This has been a nagging problem for a long time, until recently when technology came to the rescue of such people with an intervention known as the Stairlift. The Stairlift from Stair Lifts Kingsbridge is a mechanical device installed on the staircase or wall behind the staircase to transport people up and down the staircase. With a stairlift, you don’t have to dread the stairs anymore and can easily have smooth access to all the floors in your home.

Ideally, elderly people should be discouraged from climbing stairs without being aided, because they are at greater risk of slipping and falling.

It has been observed that seniors lose balance easily on staircases. Ankle sprain, severe hip or ankle injury, or death, in the worst case scenario, can result from the fall of an adult on a staircase.
