Staying Home wants you to feel like your home is truly your own. We know the value of independence, where you don’t have to look around for someone to help with every little thing. We’ve seen the transformation that happens when a homeowner has the right wheelchair lift installed. Suddenly, life is easier, safer, and better than it was before the mobility device came along.
A Brief History of Wheelchair Lifts as a Lifestyle Option
In the past, many homeowners thought of a residential mobility solution as an uncool necessity that they had to use to get around. But today, accessibility is something families plan for in advance instead of waiting for someone to need a wheelchair lift or some other accessibility feature.
Making accessibility part of how families plan has had a big impact on the types of systems that homeowners select. They want a wheelchair lift that helps them navigate between levels in their home without any unnecessary barriers. This is particularly important if stairs are not a safe or practical way to access lower or upper levels anymore.
Why Our Outdoor Lift is Unique
To be clear, we know that not all wheelchair lifts are created equal. At Staying Home, our outdoor lift models are some of the most durable and weather-proof models available. They’re also designed with usability in mind, so homeowners never have to wonder about how a lift will hold up in inclement weather.
Customers tell us that they like the way the lift design and our other equipment don’t detract from the look of their home. Design is important to us, and we believe in subtle, functional, and straightforward options that look like they belong on a porch, deck, or garden area.
Finding Freedom Again from Backyards to Front Steps
The biggest change that we see is that homeowners realize the addition of a wheelchair lift on the outside of their home gives them access once more to a place they’d been missing. It used to be that they had to ask for help to go into the yard or up the front steps. Suddenly, no matter where they need to be on the property, there’s no part of their home that they have to avoid.
Homeowners also tell us that these changes, combined with other smart home design decisions like a residential elevator, give them true freedom to navigate through their homes on their own terms.
If a Vertical Platform Lift is Right for You
Homeowners with shorter rise distances or who have smaller areas outside their homes may be good candidates for a vertical platform lift. We often direct clients to this specific type of lift when they’re looking for something that doesn’t have much of a structural impact on their existing home and operates smoothly.
As with all the options we offer, each platform lift we recommend is based on safety, usability, and the customer’s needs. Some homes are better suited for an outdoor model, and others do well with lifts installed inside.
Increase Comfort with a Lift on Every Level, Even When it’s Vertical
We know that many of our clients have challenges with their mobility. Sometimes, it’s not just people who are moving around the home. Loads like groceries or laundry can be challenging to move from level to level when there are stairs.
A dumbwaiter is one of the solutions that we’ve seen more of over the years. This is a set of rails with a small platform or bucket that moves between floors with a dumbwaiter motor and controls.
