8 Things to Look For in Your Forever Home

by

A man and woman embrace as they look at a home in the distance hidden behind a red for sale sign and a tree with fresh green buds.

If you’ve ever moved anywhere, you know the process can be labor-intensive and not always fun. You’ve likely uttered the phrase, “We’re never moving again!” sometime during the event. That’s why the thought of finding a forever home — a property that will see you through every stage of life so you really can never move again — can be quite an appealing prospect.

But what should you look for in a forever home? While it’s natural to focus on what you need right now, you’ll want to think long-term when looking for a location that will be your home base for years to come. To put you in that future-thinking mindset, we’ve created a list of must-have factors to look for in your forever home.

Top 10 Stairlifts in TV/Film vs. Real-Life Stairlift Reviews

by

Stair lifts have enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame in film and television over the years. It’s exciting to see such an important mobility tool that brings utility to so many appear in pop culture. But, unfortunately, the exposure is a double-edged sword. On the one side, it’s great to show the general public how a stair chair lift can help someone get up and down the stairs; on the other side, many of the depictions of stair lifts play on negative stereotypes disrespectful toward people with disabilities. 

If it were up to us, Hollywood would always portray stair lifts more positively to show how they can help people in meaningful and life-changing ways — avoiding “cringe-worthy” scenes altogether. That said, it can be fun to see where stair lifts have shown up in pop culture. We’ve created a list of the top 10 stair lift appearances below, and even installed one of the stair lifts featured! 

Enjoy this look at stair lifts in movies and television. Then, we encourage you to consider how real-life stairway chairlifts help millions safely navigate the stairs. That’s why we’ve also included some of our favorite Arrow Lift stair lift reviews.

The Top 10 Ways to Pay for a Stair Lift

While most people want to continue to live in their homes as long as possible, the majority have yet to take action to ensure they can. Cost can be a factor in that delay. Fortunately, stair lifts, also known as stairway chairlifts or stair chairs, are an affordable way to age in place. 

Stair lifts operate using a rail fastened directly to the stair treads. The rail supports a motorized seat that glides up and down the stairs. Because they require no additional construction, stair lifts can be an economical mobility choice. 

Often, you can expect to pay between $2,500 and $6,000 for a stair lift. But one common question we encounter when helping our clients decide how to stay in the homes they love is: How do you pay for a stair lift?

by

With wood, metal and laminate interior selections, LULA elevators are a stylish, compact and economical mobility option for many commercial spaces.

Public buildings function at their best when they are as accessible and safe as possible, especially for those with mobility challenges.

Of course, when you are a commercial property owner or designer, there are expense and timeline factors that you need to consider when optimizing a space. Putting all the pieces together can be challenging, but a LULA elevator offers a practical and cost-effective solution, especially when space is limited.

LULA elevators are compact compared to full-size passenger elevators and require less square footage and power. As a result, they’re an efficient and practical option for places like churches, schools, restaurants, and medical buildings.
