How to Choose Residential Wheelchair Lifts

Residential wheelchair lifts are available in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from the very sleek and compact to the comfortably large. It should be simple, therefore, to find the size and model perfect for your home and lifestyle.

Even when it proves difficult to find just the right elevator or stair machine, you can consider getting a custom solution designed just for your home. In all cases, safety and convenience should be your top priorities when selecting any residential mobility solution.

Choosing a wheelchair lift for the home is not only a matter of improving your mobility, but also complementing your style and contributing to your whole quality of life. Many models are produced in a uniform fashion with basic colours and finishes, but with a little searching you should be able to find a customisable elevating solution that can act as a stylish feature in your home or as a subtle and hardly noticeable presence.

You should make sure that these stylish models also conform to the necessary safety specifications, such as having emergency brakes, non-skid platforms and emergency hand cranks.

Sometimes, you may require more than one wheelchair lift around the home. This can be extremely useful for large residences and when getting around quickly and efficiently is necessary. It can be very frustrating for many people to have to use the same, slightly awkward route to get to any part of the house, so having a few different access points to a second story can be a real lifestyle changer.

 These can include a combination of elevators, ramps and stair assistance to provide a truly comprehensive mobility solution.
