A good home stair lift is a wonderful accessibility solutionfor seniors and for those with mobility issues who have trouble with steps.It provides them with easy access to the different levels of their home, resolving the challenges posed by the staircase. The type of stairlift installed would depend on the design of the staircase. Curved stairlifts can successfully resolve the mobility issues involved in climbing curved or spiral stairways in your home.

As these stair lifts mount to the stair treads, not to the wall, they are very sturdy and can be installed in almost any home. Compared to electric units, battery powered units are quieter, smoother and will work even if there’s a power failure in the home.

Choose the One with High-end Features

Quality curved stair chair lifts are integrated with advanced features to provide a smooth and safe ride. These lift types will go around corners, bends and changes in direction. They come with standard features that ensure a safe ride such as seatbelts, breaking systems and footrest sensors, push-button or rocker-switch controls located on the armrest for easy operation, and “call send” controls which allow you to call or send the unit to the other end of the stairs as well as adjustable footrest height for maximum comfort. Most curved lift models available today also have seats, armrests and footplates that fold up out of the way, and swivel seats that make getting into and out of the chair easier.

It is crucial to make sure that the lift you choose has all these features.
