A residential stair lift

Start with the staircase they use today

Talk about what feels difficult and how often the stairs are needed. Review the route together and ask a qualified professional about suitable changes.

Handrails & safer lighting

Check for loose rails and hard-to-see steps. Discuss secure handrails and lighting that can be switched on before starting up or down the stairs.

Stair lifts

An installer should measure the staircase and discuss getting on and off, controls, landing space, power backup, and maintenance. A lift must suit the individual as well as the home.

Ramps, platform lifts & residential elevators

These options involve different space, structural, power, and maintenance needs. Get a site assessment and confirm local permit requirements before choosing a system.

First-floor living

Could sleeping, bathing, and everyday activities move onto one floor? Compare the full arrangement with a lift, including privacy, bathroom access, and future needs.
