If you’re looking for ways to make navigating a multi-story home easier, stair lifts are a solution you will come across often — and for good reason. They are safe, reliable, and require no construction. But what is a stair lift? And what makes it helpful for moving between floors? 

Stair lifts are accessibility equipment designed to smoothly and safely transport users up and down stairways. They consist of a chair attached to a straight or curved rail affixed directly to the stair treads. The user operates the lift by pressing a button that moves the chair along the rail at a controlled speed.

By making stairs accessible to those who experience difficulty walking up and down them, a stair lift frees the user to travel safely throughout your entire home. Installing a stair lift brings countless benefits. But you shouldn’t just take our word for it! Here’s what our real-life Clients have to say about how Arrow Lift’s products have transformed their lives.

Stair lifts are a cost-effective, easy-to-operate, and construction-free way of gaining mobility and independence throughout your home. If you are researching stair lift costs for yourself or a family member, it can be frustrating not to find an exact price online. Additionally, many resources end up over-simplifying the shopping process for stair lifts, creating unrealistic expectations and delaying the significant improvement a stair lift can make to one’s life.

While typically you can find pretty accurate pricing for, say, a car or home online, determining stair lift costs requires answering more than a dozen questions about the unique circumstances of the home, staircase, and stair lift user. On top of that, your answers to these questions may still lack the insight of a professional evaluator, causing you extra headaches and unforeseen costs.
