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.
A Stair Lift Is a Smooth Ride
Because stair lifts travel on rails attached directly to your stair treads, the structure provides maximum stability and smooth operation. Even on stairs with turns and landings, you can be assured you will experience a smooth, continuous ride from start to finish.
That’s been Peggy W.’s experience in Lancaster, Ohio. “The install was quick and [made] no mess,” she says. “The installer was very knowledgeable and explained the operation in clear, understandable terms. We like the smooth, quiet ride. Most of all, the peace of mind about not falling going up and down the stairs.”
A Stair Lift Is a Lifesaver
Changes in mobility levels for yourself or a loved one don’t need to leave you feeling uneasy about once-familiar stairways. A stair lift removes physical and mental barriers, restoring confidence and allowing anyone to move about your home as freely as before.
“My husband didn’t think we needed one, but he fractured his hip, and it’s a lifesaver,” says Josie S. of Elgin, Minnesota.
A Stair Lift Is Safe
Stair lifts are designed to make you feel more secure, not less. They come equipped with multiple safety features, from seat belts to obstruction sensors. You can ride at ease, knowing that you’ll move safely without any issues.
That’s the feeling Sharon and Allan B. of Neshkoro, Wisconsin, have with their stair lift! “I love my Arrow Lift,” they say. “I have used it several times. I feel so much more safe going up and down the stairs now. It is everything your advertisement says about it. Your service man who installed it was very nice and answered all our questions and showed us how to operate it.”
A Stair Lift Is Worth Every Cent
You can’t put a price on the ability to enjoy your own home freely. In many cases, stair lifts make it possible for homeowners to avoid moving to a different property or initiating a costly remodel. When you think about the expense in those terms, it becomes a wise investment.
“The whole process was seamless, from the original purchase to the installation to the use of the product,” says Clara T. of Glendora, California. “We purchased this chairlift for my husband, who has breathing issues, and he has so appreciated the chair. Even I use the chair here and there and love it. It’s very quiet, too. This was a purchase we never thought to do, but happy it was available when we needed it. Worth every cent.”
A Stair Lift Is Comfortable
Stair lifts are made to fit the user — there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Select the right size and style for you and your home. You’ll have an incredibly comfortable ride no matter what configuration you choose. We recommend visiting your local Arrow Lift showroom to test ride a stair lift and discover the comfort for yourself.
Janet G. of Lancaster, Ohio, can attest to the comfort level. “I am loving the ability to get up and down the stairs without the fear of falling,” she says. “It is so much easier than I expected and very comfortable. Thank you for all your help and quick response to meet my needs. All your people have been extremely helpful.”
A Stair Lift Is Easy to Use
Sometimes, we’re reluctant to add another piece of technology to our lives, but stair lifts are incredibly simple to operate! Each one comes with built-in, easy-to-use controls and remotes, allowing flexibility in how you interact with and control your lift.
John C. of St. Paul, Minnesota, not only appreciates our friendly and knowledgeable employees but also enjoys the usability of the stair lift. “It’s easy to use the stair chair,” says John. “I can stay in my home because my bedroom is on the second floor. No nursing home for me.”
A Stair Lift Is Regaining Independence
If you’re wary about losing your independence at home, a stair lift can restore your freedom and enable you or a loved one to do the tasks you once took for granted. Whether you need access to your basement laundry, an upstairs bedroom, or even your outdoor lake, a stair lift makes it possible.
“The product is the best. We are very happy with our chair lift,” says Bruce F. of Porter Ranch in Los Angeles, California. “My wife feels very independent now, as she does not require assistance to climb our stairs. Your service is exceptional. Kelsey has been responsive to our needs.”
A Stair Lift Is Affordable
Stair lifts are far more affordable than most mobility alternatives. For example, a stair lift is almost always less expensive than adding a bathroom on your main floor, moving to a ranch home, or even assisted living.
Susan S. of Columbus, Ohio, appreciates the affordability. “The cost was affordable and the technician answered all my questions and was very professional,” she says.
A Stair Lift Is Life-Changing
Few products can genuinely claim the power to give you back your life, but that’s precisely what a stair lift can do! Take Cathy F. of Boone, Iowa’s word for it.
“Nathan was very helpful,” says Cathy. “He answered all our questions and made suggestions based on our circumstances. The chair we ended up purchasing is wonderful. It allows my mom to use her basement, which is something she hasn’t been able to do for a while. The installer was courteous. He explained everything to my mom so she could understand how to use the chair. If you have any reservations about Arrow Lift or stair lift chairs, know that you shouldn’t. These are life-changing.”
A Stair Lift Is Sturdy and Reliable
Stair lifts are built from solid, high-quality materials and are firmly affixed to your stair treads. You will have plenty of options to choose the correct chair for your size and weight so you can ride with confidence.
Chuck and Joanne D. of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, say a stair lift offers “great help to a disabled member of our family. [It is a] sturdy and reliable piece of equipment.”
