When purchasing a home, there are so many things that we think about and take into consideration, but one that most of us probably overlook is, ‘What will I do if or when the time comes when I am unable to navigate the stairs safely in my home? As we get older and lose some mobility or sustain an unfortunate injury or medical condition, this can become a daunting problem. GreenLight Mobility in Milwaukee is here to help you find the best and safest stairlift option for your home.
A stairlift is a mechanically powered chair that is attached to a rail (track) that runs the length of a staircase. When the motor for the chair is turned on, it will safely and smoothly transport the user up and down the stairs. There are a variety of models and designs available and this is all dependent on the type of staircase in someone’s home. They can be customized to meet the majority of people’s needs.
The experts at GreenLight Mobility in Milwaukee understand that everyone’s situation is unique and are here to help make the process as stress-free and seamless as possible. Our team will first assess your home and make recommendations on the best stairlift to fit your everyday needs. We guarantee the following for you and your loved ones:
1. Quality and Reliability: We are proud to partner with some of the best manufacturers in the industry to bring you high-quality stairlifts that are built to last. With models designed for durability, ease of use, and comfort, you can trust that your stairlift will keep working smoothly for years to come.
2. Experienced Installation and Service: We don’t just sell stairlifts at GreenLight Mobility; we provide professional installation services. Our trained technicians ensure your stairlift is properly installed, works perfectly, and meets all safety standards. They will make sure you are comfortable with operating the stairlift before leaving. We also offer repair services to guarantee your stairlift continues to operate safely at all times.
3. Peace of Mind: Having a stairlift in your home does so much more than give you the mobility to navigate your home. It offers you and your loved ones peace of mind knowing that you can safely move from one floor to another floor of your home independently. Safety features such as a seat belt, swivel seat, and sensors for any potential obstacles add to this feeling of ease.
GreenLight Mobility offers a wide range of stairlifts to meet different needs in various areas of the home:
1. Straight Stairlifts: A straight stairlift is one of the most common types of stairlifts as it is a more cost-effective option, can easily be installed, and there is the option to rent or purchase one. A great example of renting a stairlift would be in the event of a surgery where you temporarily have limited mobility. This will still allow you to access every part of your home while you heal and it can be easily removed when it is no longer needed. If there are other friends or family members living in the same home that will not be using the stairlift, a good option to consider is a stairlift that can fold up. This keeps the stairwell open and accessible to others or if something needs to be moved up or down the stairs.
2. Curved Stairlifts: Not every home has one straight set of stairs. If there are multiple levels, or if a staircase has a turn or landing, installing multiple straight stairlifts might be an option, but there are risks associated with this. The transfer from one stairlift to the next poses safety issues due to the increased chance of falling. Luckily, there is another option available in the form of a custom curve stairlift. One of our skilled technicians will take meticulous, detailed measurements of your entire staircase and a custom rail will be made so you can travel up and down your stairs in one uninterrupted run. While this option is more expensive than a traditional straight lift, it is also one that should be considered for someone with significant mobility and balance issues.
3. Outdoor Stairlifts: Stairs are not solely located inside the home. A large number of houses also have stairs outside that lead to the front and/or back entrances. GreenLight Mobility proudly offers outdoor stairlifts that are specifically designed for the elements so they can operate safely in all weather conditions.
Investing in a stairlift can greatly improve your quality of life by giving you back your independence and increasing your confidence. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through the entire process by providing superior customer service and the highest quality products.
