Home accidents involving older people often occur on the stairs the largest proportions of accidents are falls from stairs or steps with over 60% of deaths coming from accidents on staircases.

If you are at the stage of life where climbing the stairs is a never-ending journey and balance anomalies make you unstable on your feet? Now could be a good time to consider buying a Sstair lift.

If trying to descend the steps feels like hitting the Ski Slopes "piste" in your slippery slippers and you are about as active flexible as Eddie the Eagle at some point soon you're not going to make it safely to the bottom without major injury.

Stairlifts not only make getting up and down stairs simpler and quicker but they also act as a personal safety barrier! When the Stair lift is at the very top of the stairs the seat can be swivelled to permit a safe dismount position.

By simply swivelling the Stairlift seat this action forms a barrier guard blocking the typically large void that may be a potential danger for people with balance disorders who could fall backwards and tumble down the staircase.

Stairlifts and wheelchair lifts are the perfect solution to accessing your staircase and regaining your independence and freedom of your home. The choice is huge! Stairlifts are available to suit every type of staircases and budgets.

If the acquisition cost of a new Stairlift is outside your financial budget why not consider purchasing a reconditioned Chairlift at a fraction of the expenses of buying a new product. All Stairlift providers offer refurbished units for sale.

With a little online research there are bargains to be found! Top brand named Stairlifts less than 3 months old selling way below their true market valuation.

Another nice choice could be to lease hire a Stairlift. This decreases the upfront costs and there aren't any service upkeep costs as this would be covered in the rental package. The other great advantage of leasing a Chairlift! When no longer required you ask the company to remove it.
