What is a Vertical Platform Lift?–A vertical platform lift is an easy and effective way to get around your home without messing with the stairs. Our VPL is made to be safe and comfortable. For many, vertical platform lifts are a life-changing product that gives them back their independence. It also helps to make their day-to-day just that little bit easier.
At Staying Home, we want to give our clients the best chance to stay home, literally. That’s because when you’re older or have mobility issues, sometimes your best option is to move somewhere else. But our goal is different. We want to help homeowners age in place comfortably in the homes they love.
Gaining Freedom Around Your Home
Individuals with mobility issues already have a harder time getting around. So, when it becomes harder to move around in their own homes, that’s when it may be time to call someone like Staying Home. Our vertical platform lift is made to transfer you safely around in your home without needing to transfer to something else.
Many of our clients tell us that they feel like they’ve gained a sense of confidence they haven’t had in years. No more having to worry about steps, stairs, or even a ramp. They simply move smoothly and safely between floors at the push of a button.
Safe and Comfortable to Use
All of our mobility products are meant to be easy to use. Clients often say that the ride is smooth and quiet, which they say is more comfortable to them.
We recognize that for many of our clients, stairs are a potential source of concern or anxiety. Due to age or health concerns, steps can begin to feel daunting or even dangerous. A vertical platform lift may eliminate that worry. It offers a stable surface and predictable, smooth movement that makes it easy to get around again.
Wheelchair Lifts vs VPLs
A wheelchair lift is another product many people think of when it comes to these types of products. That’s because wheelchair lifts and vertical platform lifts serve a similar function. However, they both offer the independence and mobility that most people need.
At Staying Home, we work with each client to determine which model and type of lift would work best for their home and their needs. The ultimate goal is always the same: making mobility safe.
Can These Be Put Outside?
Absolutely, almost all of our products can be located outside, especially a VPL. Homeowners often have a raised deck or a few stairs to climb before they can get inside their home. So, they install a VPL to get that handled for them.
These lifts are engineered to be able to withstand changing weather conditions while remaining reliable year after year. An outdoor lift is an ideal solution for garages or backyard access points. It gives homeowners full use of their property without the worry of navigating uneven terrain or a series of steps.
Think About a Dumbwaiter As Well
A dumbwaiter is designed to carry small objects, not people. It is great for moving groceries, laundry, or dishes, but it is not designed to support the weight of a person. They are great for keeping things safe while moving them between levels.
Dumbwaiters can be used anywhere, but are especially useful for larger homes. When safety is paramount, dumbwaiters can be a smart choice for any homeowner.
What About When I’m at My Lake House?
Homes near the water often have multiple decks, walkways, or raised entryways that can be difficult to reach. A lake home lift may provide a safer way to move between these different areas without having to struggle with stairs or steep slopes.
We have seen how this type of installation has helped families enjoy their lake homes for many years. It opens up previously inaccessible areas and makes every part of the property available once again.
Overall, a vertical platform lift may provide homeowners with a way to live their lives freely and comfortably. VPLs may open up every level of the home once again. At Staying Home, we are here to help you find the right product to meet your needs.
