Stair Lift FAQs
What Is a Stair Lift?
A stairlift is an electrically powered chair that attaches to your stairs. It takes you up and down otherwise unnavigable stairs while you stay safely seated. These units may also have additional safety features such as seatbelts, wireless call and send controls, and powered swivel and folding options to fit your and your home’s unique needs.
How Do Stairlifts Provide Safety and Independence?
In short, there isn’t just one best way to prevent an accident in a bathroom. But, with the right precautions taken, the bathroom can become the most dangerous room to the safest. A few things we find most important to preventing accidents in the bathroom include:
- Removing rugs

- Be sure there is plenty of space to move and no obstacles
- Get a bath mat or non-slip strips in the shower/bathtub
