As one gets older, traveling up and down the stairs can be increasingly difficult. Elderly individuals may experience tiredness, shortness of breath, or even soreness.

Read MoreMany homeowners and family members struggle with the question “Which Stairlift Should I Buy?” Previously, we pointed out two common misconceptions about stairlifts: that they are a commodity (all the same, so just find the cheapest one), and that quality is determined exclusively by the manufacturing of the stairlift equipment itself.
