At Staying Home, we know you want to feel safe, confident, and mobile in the place you love best, your home. For many people, that means coming to terms with stairs. They just become more of a challenge with age, or after an injury or diagnosis. If you’re looking for a way to make moving around the house easier, a residential elevator might be right for you.
What Are Residential Elevators?
In the simplest terms, a residential elevator is a small elevator installed in a home to improve accessibility between floors. This system is designed to help homeowners move up and down with ease. Unlike commercial elevators, residential elevators are built with the homeowner’s needs, layout, and style preferences in mind.
Do residential elevators take up a lot of space? You might be surprised to hear that most elevators only take up a small corner of a room, hallway, or home addition. We work with homeowners to design something that fits their available space. It’s also a safe, reliable alternative to climbing stairs.
Benefits of an Elevator
With an in-house elevator, homeowners no longer have to wonder if they can make it up the stairs with a heavy laundry basket, full bags of groceries, or even helping someone up or down. Elevators open up that possibility without the physical challenge. Homeowners also install elevators at different stages in their lives. For some, the process begins during a major renovation or remodel. For others, they’re looking for solutions in the wake of an event or diagnosis.
No matter the cause, clients who have a residential elevator in their home share a common desire. They want to stay in the place they love for as long as possible, comfortably and safely. We help make that happen.
Residential Elevators vs. Other Accessibility Options
Mobility issues in the home can be frustrating. Luckily, there are several solutions homeowners can consider. Each one, however, is designed with a specific situation in mind.
For example, a residential elevator is installed to move people. A dumbwaiter, by contrast, is an elevator for objects. Dumbwaiters are used to move items from floor to floor. Meals, laundry, or packages are a few common uses.
Our Outdoor Elevators
Outdoor elevators are another option for people looking for mobility solutions at home. A raised porch, deck, or entry level can make accessing a second floor or outside area difficult.
We offer an outdoor elevator solution, which can also be installed outdoors. Our Outlook outdoor elevator is designed to handle all kinds of weather and complement a home’s exterior at the same time.
Who Needs Residential Elevators?
The best elevator candidates are often the last people to think of them. A lot of homeowners assume you need an elevator for medical reasons or when you’re elderly. That isn’t always true.
Clients with young kids, busy families, or multi-generational households have also discovered the benefits of residential elevators. From day-to-day mobility to just saving time and energy, elevators are a great help for people of all ages.
A Care For Quality
At Staying Home, we focus on the things that matter most to you: quality, safety, and ease of use. We design our elevators to be a part of a home’s style without compromising function or dependability. From using high-quality materials and controls to smooth operating systems, we design our products with the user in mind.
We also work to understand what our clients want, both for their homes and for themselves. That means offering suggestions based on their lifestyle, mobility goals, and home layout. One solution won’t necessarily work for everyone. That’s why we offer options, so families can choose the one that best suits their individual needs.
