7 Reasons Why a Stairlift Lifts Your Life

12:00am & Tips and Advice

It’s no secret that Acorn Stairlifts has improved thousands of peoples’ quality of life that desperately needed it. In fact, every eight minutes somewhere in the world, another life is lifted. This is because every eight minutes, an Acorn stairlift is being installed inside, or even outside, of someone’s home, helping them regain their mobility, safety, and independence. This means that every eight minutes, Acorn allows one more person to break free from the bondage of fear, dependency, and immobility. Read on to learn seven reasons how a stairlift transforms your life.
 

1. A Stairlift Increases Your Independence

One of the biggest fears that people have about growing older is losing their independence. However, with the help of a stairlift, senior living doesn’t have to feel like a prison sentence. No longer will you have to crawl up the stairs on your hands and knees, wait for a loved one or caregiver to help you navigate up or down the tricky steps, or avoid staircases altogether. With an in-home lift, you can go where you want whenever you want with ease, comfort, and safety. You will regain your independence to travel freely throughout the entirety of your house, without putting your health or safety at risk.

2. Lifts Let You Stay in the Home you Love

A lot of seniors don’t want to spend their golden years in a nursing home. With the help of a stairlift, you don’t have to. A stairlift for the elderly transforms the way you get around your house without transforming the style or structure of your home. Installing an Acorn stairlift is mess-free and stress-free because no modifications need to be made to your home. Acorn stairlifts are customized to fit the unique needs of each customer, attaching directly to the stairs and never the wall. The stairlift’s design is also sleek, modern, and a neutral color, blending seamlessly into your home. This means that you get to age in place and enjoy the beauty of your home, without having to compromise its style and structure.

3. You Save Money from Moving and Senior Living

Investing in a stairlift that allows you to stay in the home you love is a much cheaper option in the long run that eliminates the stress that comes with the process of moving and choosing the right nursing home for your needs. Stairlift prices are more than well worth the money.

4. A Stairlift Elevator Protects your Health and Prevents Possible Injuries

Stairlift installation helps a variety of demographics, whether it’s the elderly, people recovering from an injury, the disabled, or people living with chronic diseases. That is because Acorn stairlifts are safe and user-friendly for everyone. Acorn Stairlifts is the first and only stairlift company in the world to have earned the Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation in all of its stairlift models. This award, given to us from a panel of arthritis experts, was earned through extensive testing with our simulation subjects being nonother than real people living with arthritis. From opening the packaging of our product to taking a ride in our lift, the Arthritis Foundation determined that every step of the product testing was not only manageable for people with Arthritis, but was easy-to-use, even for people suffering from a severe form of the disease. Whatever pain or impairment you struggle with, Acorn’s stairlift models are designed to lift your life.

5. You Will Have Access to all Parts of Your Home Again—Indoors and Outdoors

When you have impaired mobility, a home with multiple levels can feel like an endless maze. You’re constantly looking for new ways to access parts of your home and you may never find a way to access some parts. This all changes with a stairlift. A home lift for the elderly transforms a multiple-level home into what feels like a one-story home. Never again will you have to miss out on enjoying the parts of your home that weren’t easily accessible because of the intimidating staircases. Acorn stairlifts come in a variety of different models, including outdoor stair lift chairs designed specifically for outdoor staircases. This means that from playing the piano, to tending to your garden in the backyard, you will never have to miss out again on enjoying your favorite indoor or outdoor activities because of a staircase.

6. No More Fear of Falling on the Stairs

A fear of falling on the stairs can make you feel like a prisoner in your own home, limited to a small, confined space and waiting for someone to bail you out. Living with this fear of falling is mentally exhausting, weighing heavily on your mind from having dreams of falling down stairs while you sleep, to having anxious, invading thoughts about having to use a steep staircase in your daily life. With a stairlift chair, you can say goodbye to these fears, as you soar above the staircase that once stood in between you and your peace of mind.

7. You and Your Loved Ones’ Stress Levels Will Be Significantly Lower

A stairlift not only makes your fear of falling disappear, but it also lowers you and your loved ones’ stress levels, as you no longer have to worry about enduring injuries from falling down the stairs or your ability to move quickly and safely around your house. Never again will you have to worry about how you would escape your home in the event of an emergency, and your loved ones will never have to worry about your safety on slippery staircases. Even during a power outage, an Acorn stairlift is designed to run, thanks to the backup stair lift batteries. A stairlift silences your stress and gives you and your loved ones peace of mind.
