Fortunately, there is a solution in assisting those that need it. Stair Lifts in Pittsburgh PA are available for installation, making it much easier for someone to get around in their own home.

Safety
Stairs can be a problem for the elderly because they can pose a health risk as falls are very common as a person gets older. The installation of Stair Lifts in Pittsburgh PA will allow them to go up and down stairs safely and on their own. This will give them the freedom to still be in the comfort of their own home, without posing a risk on their health.
Easy to Use
Lifts are very easy to operate for most people. To use it, simply sit on the seat with the seat belt in place and press and hold down the switch located on the armrest of the chair. To stop the chair, release the switch and the lift will stop moving. Two keyed remotes come with it, this is very helpful if more than one person is using it. For example, if the person is at the top of the stairs and the chair is at the bottom, they can use the remote to send the chair lift up to them.
Affordable Option
As stated above, stairs can pose a health risk to the elderly. Fortunately, a lift is the quickest and most affordable option than buying another home or moving to a nursing home community. This will allow the elderly to stay in a home where they are comfortable and have made many memories with family and friends.
