Navigating stairs can be daunting as we age. If you’ve ever felt anxious about making your way up and down the stairs, you’re not alone. Stairlifts have become a popular solution for many older adults, providing not just safety but also peace of mind. Read more to discover the top five benefits of installing a stairlift in your home.
Enhanced Safety and Fall Prevention
A Safer Way Up and Down
A 2024 CDC report labeled falls as the primary cause of injury among adults aged 65 and older. Each year, more than 14 million—approximately one in four older adults—report experiencing a fall. These falls are not only common but also costly and largely preventable.
They lead to the highest number of both fatal and nonfatal injuries in this age group. Although not every fall results in injury, around 37% of those who fall suffer injuries that need medical attention or limit their activities for at least a day, totaling an estimated nine million fall-related injuries annually in the United States.
Advanced Mobility Inc. provides robust and durable stairlifts designed to ensure safe and smooth navigation up and down stairs, effectively preventing life-altering accidents.
Their stairlifts offer reliable performance, allowing users to move effortlessly between floors without the risk of falls or other mishaps. Installing one of our stairlifts in your home ensures that navigating throughout the house, whether upstairs or downstairs, remains easy and trouble-free.
Improved Independence and Quality of Life
Regain Your Freedom
You deserve to move around your home effortlessly and without hassle—it’s your right to enjoy your living space with complete independence. Stairlifts offer the freedom and ease to ascend and descend stairs safely, even when mobility becomes challenging.
Installing a stairlift allows you to easily reach your favorite rooms, whether upstairs or down, maintaining your comfort and autonomy. This enhances your quality of life and ensures you can continue to enjoy every corner of your home without the worry of navigating stairs.
Additionally, you would no longer need to rely on others to assist you with safely getting to another floor.
Convenience and Ease of Use
Simple Operation for Everyday Use
Advanced Mobility designed Modern stairlifts with ease of use in mind. They’re intuitive, with straightforward controls that anyone can master. One of the great things about stairlifts is their minimal maintenance needs.
We built them to be durable and reliable! Once installed, you can count on them as a hassle-free part of your home.
Additionally, Advanced Mobility installs your stairlift to ensure proper installation and safety when using it multiple times.
Increased Home Value and Appeal
Boost Your Home’s Market Value
The 2024 American Community Survey by the United States Census Bureau reveals that over 44 million American citizens have a disability, indicating a growing need for handicap-accessible homes.
This rising demand for accessible living spaces could potentially boost your home’s market value as more buyers seek properties that accommodate diverse mobility needs. By investing in features such as stairlifts, you not only enhance the functionality of your home for current residents but also increase its appeal and value in a competitive real estate market.
This proactive approach can make your property more attractive to a broader range of buyers, including those who prioritize accessibility.
Cost-Effectiveness and Long-Term Savings
A Wise Investment
The initial cost of installing a stairlift might seem high, but viewing it as a long-term investment is essential. Think of the medical costs and potential disruptions to your life that could arise from stair-related falls. Installing a stairlift can help avoid these expenses and complications.
For instance, the cost of a single fall-related hospital visit can easily exceed the price of a stairlift.
