Mobility should never come with the sacrifice of your home. At Staying Home, we understand the need to remain active and comfortable in the place you love. That’s why we make accessibility products that improve your quality of life by making it easier to move throughout your home. A wheelchair lift is one way we can help you experience more freedom in your daily life.
Let’s face it: stairs are inconvenient. For someone in a wheelchair or with other mobility challenges, stairs are dangerous, too. A wheelchair lift can be a solution that can remove obstacles, helping you stay independent, maintain your routines, and feel safe at home.
Wheelchair Lifts: The Basics
Wheelchair lifts are motorized platforms that lift a person while they remain seated in their wheelchair or mobility scooter. The purpose is to traverse a vertical barrier like a porch step or raised entry landing. Wheelchair lifts are a compact and sturdy solution that puts safety first.
Mobility changes are not uncommon, and a wheelchair lift can play an essential role in maintaining a lifestyle you love. In many cases, a lift allows homeowners to stay in their house without help.
Mobility Changes Mean Mobility Solutions
Mobility changes can occur suddenly or over time. Regardless, stairs will always be a part of your daily routine that you must work around. For those in a wheelchair, a single short flight of stairs can be the reason you can’t enter or exit your home.
Wheelchair lifts are a smart and long-lasting mobility solution. The lift provides consistent, secure transport across the threshold between levels without the need for extensive remodeling or moving.
Wheelchair Lifts: An Indoor and Outdoor Solution
Home layouts and landscapes vary widely, and that is why there are many lift types available. An outdoor lift can be the right solution for many porches, decks, and patios or homes with split-levels or multi-height access.
For homes that have a high entry height or a platform level, an outdoor elevator is another great option. These fully enclosed vertical transports are weather-resistant and built to last through changing seasons.

Dumbwaiters Aren’t Dumb
A dumbwaiter is a small lift system built to carry items between levels. Dumbwaiters are the perfect height for transporting groceries, laundry, supplies, equipment, or anything else a user may need. For those with limited mobility, it’s one more lift system that can help them stay safe and comfortable at home.
Clients often choose dumbwaiters alongside a wheelchair or vertical platform lift to ease the load on their mobility. It is a simple way to improve their day-to-day life.
Wheelchair Lifts and Vertical Platform Lifts
Customers sometimes ask if a wheelchair lift is the same thing as a vertical platform lift. The two terms are often used interchangeably, which makes sense. The devices have very similar functions and applications.
Wheelchair lifts are a more general term used in our industry. The language is more precise and relatable, so it’s easier for our customers to visualize and understand. Ultimately, the device and its purpose are the same: to improve life in the home.
