We recently purchased a stairlift for our family home and decided to document the process to provide others with realistic insight. We understand how overwhelming it can feel when you don't know where to start, who to contact, or how to determine the best stairlift for your physical needs and home layout. That's why we're thrilled to announce our partnership with Handicare, who can guide you through the process too.
Handicare offers a variety of stairlift solutions for people living with disabilities, mobility issues, or fall related risks. They have been designing lifting solutions based on the same philosophy for over 130 years, that being standard solutions deliver standard results. Meaning where possible, they aim to tailor solutions to every user's individual needs and unique preferences.
By “making everyday life easier”, Handicare are not only enabling users to retain their independence, confidence, and dignity, but they are also enabling those providing care for a loved one or client to do so safely.
As Handicare stairlifts are custom made to incorporate your design preferences, measured to fit your staircase, and tailored to your personal needs, there are many optional extras to choose from. Including a safety belt/harness, swivel function, sensors, adjustable seat height, or powered functions. You can also customise the seat, upholstery, and track on the following stairlifts:
Straight Stairlifts - works on individual straight staircases without any turns, bends, or mid-flight landings.
Curved Stairlifts - works on staircases with turns, bends, or mid-flight landings.
Outdoor Stairlifts - work on straight or curved staircases in porches, gardens, patios, and backyard decks.
Our priority at AYL is to offer impartial advice on exceptional products and reliable services to people with disabilities. So you can expect to learn more about the following stages of the ordering and installation process:
Home Survey - a free, no-obligation home visit to discuss your needs and survey your staircase.
Measurements - a second home visit to make sure your new stairlift is a perfect fit using a 3D technology survey system.
Installation - a final home visit to install and demonstrate your new stairlift.
Finally, we will also be sharing how our family life has been positively impacted now that two family members with mobility issues can access every room in our home without worrying about not being able to go up and down the stairs! So stay tuned for more informative blog posts, social media adverts, user-centred video guides, and impartial reviews!
Hi, I'm Lauren and I have been living with a collection of disabilities for the past 8 years. I initially had a passion for teaching children with special needs, but my health prevented me from pursuring my dream career. Despite this, I now love nothing more than sharing my experiences to help other people living with disabilities.
Hi, I’m Lori and was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and a family of co-morbid conditions which has made life highly complex. However I constantly aim to make life as ‘normal’ and fulfilling as possible - and through this, I discovered the benefits of writing about my journey.
