An aging adult is mobility challenged in a multi-story home. As we age, most of us will experience either low vision, crippling arthritis, ailing hearts or lungs, problems with balance, diminishing energy, or one of dozens of other physical disabilities that make living independently in our own homes difficult. The AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons) tells us that fully 82 percent of people over age 50 want to spend their golden years in their own homes. With medical advances, people are now able to live longer with diseases that are hard to live with, such as arthritis and diabetes. As a result, people will need more assistance as they get older. In a multi-story home, we will spec out and install a stairlift where you desire. We may also recommend other solutions, such as an exterior stairlift, if you have over 5 stairs to climb to reach the first floor. Our recommendations will vary depending on your needs and budget.
