Stairlift or platform lift, which is best for me?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

If climbing the stairs in your home starts to become difficult, there are usually two options that can be considered to solve the problem. The first option is to remain at home (with modifications), and the other is to move to a nursing home or assisted living facility. Both are feasible options, but many prefer to remain at home because it avoids the stress of having to move again, and makes it possible to stay in the place that has so many positive emotional ties. A home is a place of comfort, as it is where most people build lasting memories with family and friends, whether from holiday parties or social gatherings with friends.<\/p>\n

However, for those who decide that they want to remain in their home, there are modifications that are likely to be necessary to ensure that it remains safe enough to live in. Stairs often end up being the first area of concern for the elderly or those with limited mobility. Outside of bathrooms, a staircase is the area of the home that presents many potential risks of injury if someone falls.<\/p>\n

With our stairlift<\/strong> you will be able to climb stairs again without any difficulty, regaining your independence. Stairlifts are safe and easy to use, whether for straight or curved stairs.<\/p>\n

Un salvaescaleras es una silla motorizada que puede ser montada en los pelda\u00f1os de la escalera. Si necesita una soluci\u00f3n r\u00e1pida y asequible para acceder de forma segura al nivel superior de su casa, una silla salvaescalera es una gran opci\u00f3n. En el caso de escaleras rectas, se puede instalar una silla salvaescalera en tan s\u00f3lo un d\u00eda despu\u00e9s de su compra. Las installationes de las sillas salvaescaleras curvas tienen un tiempo de entrega m\u00e1s largo porque el riel est\u00e1 personalizado.<\/p>\n

Stairlifts can be installed on both straight and curved stairs, both indoors and outdoors. Therefore, if your staircase limits access to your home or to another floor level within your home, we at Farr\u00e9 Accesibilidad have a variety of stairlift models that may be of assistance to you. To further enhance safety, there are several options that can be added to your stairlift, such as a manual or electric folding rail (prevents the rail from becoming a tripping hazard on the landing below).<\/p>\n

A stairlift is a more viable solution than a platform lift if price is a primary consideration. While the space on the stairs may be slightly reduced, the footrest, seat and armrests can be folded down when not in use so that others still have enough room to negotiate the stairs on foot.<\/p>\n

At Farr\u00e9 Accesibilidad we can offer you straight stairlifts<\/strong> as Home Glide<\/a><\/strong>, chairs straight and curved stairlifts<\/strong> as Flow<\/a> <\/strong>and chairs outdoor stairlifts<\/strong> as Home Glide outdoor<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When a stairlift is not the best solution?<\/h3>\n

Although there are many benefits to having a stairlift, it is not normally a recommended option for wheelchair or powerchair users. In order to use a stairlift safely, the user must be able to get out of a chair with little or no assistance. For those in a wheelchair or power chair, this can be very dangerous, so it is often not a recommended solution for them. A vertical platform lift is the best solution for wheelchair and powerchair users, as they can remain in their chairs and live independently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
