How A Stairlift Can Help You

One of the most frustrating consequences of living with reduced mobility is the challenge of the stairs and the potential loss of full use of your home.

Taking the decision to have a stairlift installed can be a big step, and there are alternatives. However, having a Handicare stairlift installed can often be cheaper and less disruptive than, for example, moving home. With the installation of a stairlift, you can regain the pleasure and freedom of ascending and descending your staircase with ease, with the added bonus of being able to stay in your home. 

Why You Should Choose an Age UK Stairlift

At every step of your purchase journey, Handicare works hard to provide you with outstanding service, making sure that all of your needs are covered, and any questions are answered.

Stairlift maintenance and repairs

From the moment you make contact with an enquiry, right through to any aftercare that is needed, Handicare will be there. Unlike some other suppliers, you won’t find any high-pressure selling or confusing literature. You will only find the excellent level of stairlift service and support that Handicare is known for.

Types of Stairlifts

Staircases come in many different shapes and sizes, and knowing which stairlift suits your stairs is something upon which the trained Handicare engineers will be able to offer expert advice. There are two main types of stairlift: those that can travel up and down straight staircases (these tend to be the most common types of staircases in UK homes). There are also those that can navigate a curve in a staircase.

There are two types of seats available for both product types. Traditional seats and perch seats. Perch seats are suitable for those who find sitting difficult and are also recommended for houses with narrow staircases. Perch seats can be fitted to both curved and straight models.
