Home Buying Tips for Seniors

June 10, 2025 by Arrow Lift

An elderly man and woman look at each other happily as they review a document with an advisor.

Buying a home is an exciting opportunity at any stage of life, and for seniors, it’s a chance to find a space that genuinely suits evolving needs and lifestyle changes.

From navigating finances on a retirement income to ensuring your new home supports long-term mobility and accessibility, the proper knowledge and planning can help make buying a house as a senior citizen empowering rather than overwhelming.

Here’s what senior homebuyers need to know to make a confident, informed decision—whether you’re purchasing for yourself or helping a loved one find the perfect place to call home.

February 18, 2025 by Arrow Lift

An elegant home staircase with a modern curved stair lift installed creates an accessible living environment.

Many people want to stay in their homes as they age, but taking steps to make that possible is often delayed—usually due to cost concerns. If you’re looking for an affordable way to age in place, stair lifts (also called stairway chair lifts or stair chairs) are a practical solution.

Stair lifts attach to a rail installed on your stairs, allowing a motorized seat to move smoothly up and down without requiring any additional construction. This makes stair lifts an economical choice for aging in place, with prices typically ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 for straight stairs.
