You did not plan to become handicapped, nonetheless it happened. You presumed you would always be able to be active, walking out of doors in the cool of the evening, or early morning to hear the birds singing in the trees. Life throws plenty of things at us and infrequently when we realize it, we are having to make some pretty serious decisions that we never thought we would have to face. Luckily, there are firms that dedicate themselves to mobility issues.
When you can move about anywhere you would like, it is much less likely that you'll fall into depression. So investing in a stairlift is not just a money issue, but one that will give you confidence and peace of mind, also. There's the idea that the more dependent you are on mobility devices like wheelchairs and stair lifts, the more that you will weaken. Sort of like wearing prescription glasses improves your vision, but weakens your eyes. I do believe strongly in that to some degree and suggest that if you're getting a lift that you check into a rehabilitation programme which will keep your muscles exercised.
Now, what benefits should your step lift have? Above all you need to ensure your lift has the newest security features installed. The 2 most import ones are a safety harness, naturally, and an obstruction sensor. A seat belt is nearly a given . And the obstruction sensor is something that tells the lift to stop if it senses something along the track that it will run into. Hitting objects as the lift goes up or down could cause the chair to bind on the track, break whatever is in the trail, and could break wiring. Another safety possibility is to have a swiveling seat. When you reach the top of the stairs, if you have to get into a wheelchair, you would like a lift chair that will swivel into an almost parallel position next to your wheelchair.
Next, make sure that the lift you are purchasing has a good control system. Early chairs had levers which you pushed on and then off. Today’s chair always have some sort of handheld remote control either wired (tethered) or wireless, like a radio control for a Television. See if the remote for your chair has any kind of levers or joy sticks that would get caught or strung up on your clothing.
The buttons should be smooth and will be the rocker type switches. And wireless remote controls almost always get misplaced. Something to contemplate. Ultimately, you need to check the track record of the company that not only manufactures the chair, but the sanctioned dealer as well . One place to check is the Better Business Bureau, but you'll find out lots of engaging information on a company by Googling their name and the word “complaints.” As usual, use your own judgement as folks who had a horrible experience are way more likely to complain about something than a person who had a good experience.
Create a connection with the company you are interested in. Get a warm feel for them and ensure you are comfortable engaging in business with them. This is an enormous investment and there’s a good chance that the vendor must come out to your home more than once. You would like someone you can have trust in and rely on with your stair lift.
