We’ve had a lot of discussions with homeowners who feel trapped by two difficult choices: adapt their homes to changing needs or move away entirely. Home is home for many people, and moving is never easy, especially if they have lived in the same house for 20 or 30 years.
But when those needs do change, whether that’s because of mobility or balance issues, chronic pain, an injury, or an unforeseen event, something has to give. For many homeowners, the solution has been a residential elevator.
Making Elevators Part of Your Life
Our elevators are designed to fit into existing homes, and our team works closely with homeowners to help them envision what their upgraded life could be like.
A residential elevator is not about luxury; it is about practicality. It is about being able to navigate your home more efficiently, stay in your home more safely, and live more comfortably for many years to come.
Reasons You Might Want to Stay Home (with Elevators)
Residential elevator systems used to be considered the exception to the rule. If you didn’t already have an elevator in your home, you were more likely to move somewhere with one, such as a new retirement community or multi-generational living space.
The reality of residential elevators has changed. It is still a common misconception that residential elevators are only for large or historic homes. The stigma around installing an elevator in your home is slowly going away.
Why Homeowners Love Residential Elevators
At Staying Home, our homeowners have told us that a residential elevator has been the difference between staying put and downsizing or moving. They can get upstairs with ease and access all the rooms in their homes without fear of falling or losing their balance.
Home is more than just a place. It’s where you live, where your routines are established, where your friends and favorite stores are nearby. Staying in your home as long as possible is one of the best ways to stay happy and healthy as you age. Our elevators can help make that possible.
Outdoor Elevators Improve Access, Too
An outdoor elevator is another common system that can make the home more accessible and easier to live in with mobility or balance issues.
Interior elevators are not the only option for homeowners. Especially for those whose main access challenge has to do with getting in and out of the house. Porches, decks, and garages can all make getting in and out of the home, even just a few steps, more difficult than it needs to be.
Outdoor elevators are our robust, weather-resistant, and customizable solutions that fit beautifully on the exterior of your home. We offer a wide variety of exterior elevator models that are designed to integrate with the design of the home exterior, including many newer homes.
Outlook Outdoor Elevator
Prospective homeowners love the Outlook for a few reasons. It is reliable, easy to use, and easy to maintain. It is also designed with the weather in mind and can take both extreme heat and cold without breaking down. Most of our homeowners who choose this model love how it operates and that it can be customized with different interior finishes that still look great, even on the exterior of the home.
Homeowners have used the Outlook Outdoor Elevator to access all the spaces of their homes they once loved, including gardens, patios, garages, and upper-level decks. For some, this has been an investment in recovering lost mobility after an injury or surgery, while for others, it has simply been a way to regain access to outdoor spaces they love with age.
Shorter Rise Elevator Options
A complete residential lift may not always be the right solution, either. In these cases, we can still provide an outdoor lift or wheelchair lift as a solution.
Wheelchair lifts or outdoor lifts can be ideal for situations that still need a boost but do not require a full rise to a second story. These are typically good for shorter elevation situations where stairs are still an issue, but a full elevator would be overkill.
Choose to Stay Home (With Elevators)
If you are like the growing number of Americans who want to stay home as long as possible and avoid relocating, elevators can make that possible for you, too.
We have helped many families across the country customize their homes to become more accessible, easier to navigate, and safer to live in today and well into the future.
