At Staying Home, we work with homeowners who want simple access to the home they love. That often starts with one small but life-changing decision: adding a vertical platform lift.
These lifts don’t make headlines. They don’t look flashy. But for many families, a vertical platform lift is the fix that quietly transforms daily life. Whether it’s helping someone bypass steps, move safely from the garage to the porch, or get out the door without stress, the impact is anything but small.
Why Homeowners Are Choosing Vertical Platform Lifts
A vertical platform lift is making sense for more families. These compact, efficient systems move individuals and mobility devices between levels—usually a few feet in elevation—with ease. Our homeowners often find that this one addition removes a major source of daily frustration.
And it’s not just about mobility. It’s about staying independent, using the entire property, and feeling confident again.
A Quiet Solution That Just Works
At Staying Home, we design our lifts for everyday living. That means we think about things like noise, speed, and comfort. A vertical platform lift should work smoothly in all seasons, without becoming the center of attention.
Many of our clients install one near the garage, a side door, or front porch. These areas often present the biggest challenges—just a few steps, but steps that make the home feel out of reach. With a lift in place, they’re no longer a barrier.
When Convenience Goes Vertical Indoors
While outdoor access is a common concern, homeowners often face limitations inside as well. In those cases, we may recommend adding a dumbwaiter. These small freight elevators carry items between floors. This helps in reducing the strain of lifting or carrying.
Imagine transporting laundry without the risk of falling. A dumbwaiter adds safety and ease without changing the flow of the home.
We often pair dumbwaiters with a vertical platform lift to create a complete mobility solution. One improves access. The other takes care of the heavy lifting—literally.
Considering a Wheelchair Lift for Specialized Needs
Sometimes, a wheelchair lift is the better fit. While similar in design, these lifts are tailored for individuals using wheelchairs or power scooters. They offer extra space and secure travel.
We guide homeowners toward wheelchair lifts when long ramps or traditional elevators don’t fit the layout or lifestyle. Our clients often prefer them because they’re compact, quiet, and fast.
Outdoor Access Reimagined
The exterior of a home shouldn’t limit how much of it you can enjoy. Porches and decks are often the most cherished parts of the home. But without access, they become inaccessible.
A reliable outdoor lift makes these spaces usable again. From a simple rise to a multi-level entry, we help families find solutions that work year-round. The outdoor lift is designed to withstand the elements while still looking clean and modern.
Our clients appreciate that these systems blend into the home’s design. They don’t feel temporary or clinical. They feel intentional—and that matters.
The Outlook Outdoor Elevator: For Elevated Needs
When greater height or more frequent travel is needed, the Outlook Outdoor Elevator is one of our go-to recommendations. This elevator is specifically designed for outdoor use, with enclosed sides and smooth rides that meet both safety and style expectations.
The Outlook model is ideal for homes with raised decks, detached garages, or second-story entries. It’s a long-term solution for full-property access. Our homeowners often choose it when they want a lift that can serve multiple generations or adapt with changing needs.
Everyday Elevation, Long-Term Value
What makes a platform lift so valuable isn’t its complexity. It’s the way it simplifies everyday life. It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing you can enter and exit your home without pain, danger, or delay.
We often meet homeowners who say, “I wish we’d done this sooner.” That’s the nature of mobility upgrades. You don’t always see how much you needed them—until they’re there.
The Right Time Is Now
At Staying Home, we believe in solving problems before they become emergencies. It’s an investment in peace of mind.
Homeowners who take action now often enjoy more years in their homes, more independence, and a greater sense of control over their day-to-day life.
