Many homeowners choose two-story houses for a variety of reasons, from better fuel efficiency to greater privacy. In the U.S. alone, single-family homes with two or more floors make up 58 percent of the housing market.
But what’s a great living arrangement for younger families doesn’t always fit our needs once we hit our golden years. Arthritis, hip or knee problems, and other physical disabilities associated with age can make climbing a flight of stairs to a master bedroom dangerous, impeding many seniors’ ability to move freely throughout their homes.
Instead of selling your two-story home or spending thousands to remodel your first floor to accommodate a new bedroom or bathroom, consider a Handicare 1100 Straight Stairlift. Built with seniors’ independence in mind, the 1100 offers a variety of benefits that allow you to age in place safely and comfortably:
- Options built for any home – Handicare knows every home is different and has constructed the 1100 so that it’s adaptable to any size or style of straight staircase. Best of all, the 1100 can be installed without major home renovations that hinder your daily activities.
- User-friendly technology – Because 50 percent of seniors live with arthritis or other joint problems, the 1100’s ergonomic joystick allows you to easily operate the stairlift. Two remote controls at the top and bottom of your staircase can send for your stairlift with one touch of a button. EasyGlide technology ensures an exceptionally smooth ride and gently slows down to a stop when the 1100 reaches its destination.
- Compact design and easy maintenance – We understand—your home is your castle, and the last thing you want is your stairlift to be the center of attention. The ultra slim profile of the 1100 folds up easily to maximize space, offers a modern look that matches any décor, and is simple to clean.
