No one likes getting old.
Not being able to do the things you used to do or even to do the things you want to do dampens your outlook on life and impedes your quality of life.
Yet, it’s a fact of this wonderful gift of life all of us must accept.
Luckily for us, we live in an age of amazing medical care and technology that allows seniors to do many, many things they still love and enjoy.
Stairlifts are one of these technological advances that is a huge benefit for seniors. Sansbury Medical Stairlifts specializes in personalized service and care for each and every client with curved stairs, vertical, and straight stairs lifts.
Below are just some of the benefits stairlifts afford seniors:
- Stability. Stairlifts allow seniors to stay in their homes longer and potentially for the rest of their lives. Homes to many of us are more than just a roof over our heads: they are memories. We’ve spent so many hours and years in our home that having to be forced from your home can be traumatizing and depressing. The saying “the home is where the heart is” is true. Our hearts, our lives, our memories live in our home. If there’s anything that will allow us to stay longer, utilize it! That’s where stairlifts play an important role.
- Self-sufficiency. Stairlifts allow seniors to access all areas of their homes without having to rely on others. Hiring caregivers is an expense most seniors either can’t afford or prefer not to have. Studies have shown that maintaining independence at an advanced age is good for your mental health and overall well being.
-
Safety. Falls are the leading cause of death from injury among people 65 and older, and the risk of falls increases proportionately with age. Eighty-seven
percent of all fractures in seniors are due to falls. Seniors with mobility challenges can go up and down stairs safely and not have to worry about falling with the use of stairlifts. Sansbury Medical Stairlifts offers a variety of options including curved and straight stairlifts with many options. Call us today for a quote!
- Sustainability. Many seniors downsize homes in their later years. One of the reasons is to eliminate stairwells. A stairlift can allow a senior to stay in their current home without the expense of moving, adding a bedroom on the lower level, or spending money on an assisted living facility, saving you thousands of dollars throughout your lifetime.
The above benefits of stairlifts increase seniors’ overall quality of life. Many seniors report limiting their activities and social engagements due to the fear of falling. Not being able to do the things one loves and enjoys can result in physical decline, depression, social isolation, and feelings of helplessness. We all want to live the best life possible for as long as possible.
Stairlifts are just one modern invention and convenience seniors can utilize to improve their quality of life, maintain their independence, and stay safe!
