6 Benefits of Installing a Stairlift in Your Home

Chair that goes up Stairs - JEDS Mobility

Are you looking for chairs that goes upstairs? Stairlifts are chairs specifically designed to carry a person with mobility concerns, safely up or down the stairs. Considering the welfare of elderly individuals as well as those in need of assistance, stairlifts are ideal for installation in homes and public buildings.

When installed, stairlifts offer many benefits not only to those for whom they are intended but also to anyone who is injured or elderly visitors who require assistance with ascending or descending stairs. Installing stairlifts in the home offers numerous other benefits. Let us explore these benefits in detail.

1. Ensures safe movement: Stairlifts are designed to lift someone up or down in a comfortable seating position. Stairlifts include harnesses, footrests, armrests and automatic brakes to ensure safety.

Stairlifts are generally carefully designed with adequate load-bearing capacity to avoid any mishaps and ensure safe movement. They are also rigorously tested to meet the safety standards. Therefore they offer safety for individuals with mobility issues by preventing slips and falls while using stairs, which are areas with a higher risk of falling. 

2. User-friendly design: Stairlifts are designed in a compact manner with user-friendly features. Let us explore these features in brief:

  • Easy control: Stairlifts usually have a joystick to move up or down easily. Typically, these controls are located in the armrest for convenience.
  • Swivel chair: Stairlifts normally have swivel chairs that rotate to face sideways when the stairlifts stop, making it easy to get in and out. 
  • Obstruction detectors: They usually have built-in sensors to detect any obstruction in the pathway to ensure stopping the journey without any jerks in case of obstructions.

3. Customised and economical solution: Stairlifts are installed after a professional assessment of the staircase and its environment. Before installation, stairlifts are customised to suit the configuration, design and depth of stairs. Once installed, they can be utilised for a lifetime. They are cost effective as compared to other options such as home elevators and vertical platform lifts. Thus, stairlifts are convenient solutions in terms of installation and affordability. 

4. Seamless integration with your home : The rails or tracks for stairlifts are installed in the staircases and not on the wall or floor, therefore the structure of the home remains largely unaffected. The rails are generally with discreet brackets. They can also be removed without significant alterations. The stairlifts are available in different colours and aligns well with the aesthetics of your home interiors. 

5. Improved self-esteem: The lack of mobility can lead to feelings of isolation. Stairlifts help overcome this issue by offering self-reliant movement up and down the stairs. They help in fostering freedom and independence and play a significant role in enhancing confidence, improving social interaction, and stimulating cognitive functions.

6. Minimal disruption to normal movement: Stairlifts provide minimal disruption to the normal movement on stairs. Modern stairlifts do not obstruct the pathways when not in use. Typically, they feature foldable sets, armrests and footrests which offer ample space for walking. Thus, stairlifts provide support for those who need it, while ensuring ease of use of the stairs for others.
