Chair or Stair Lifts Options for the handicapped home owner.

Stairlifts are devices for getting handicapped ambulatory home owners up and down the stairs and are commonly also called chairlifts. Acorn is the premier worldwide manufacturer of stair or chair lifts and you can visit their site at www Acorn com

We take this simple process of getting from the top to bottom floor for granted bounding up and down the stairs each day. But when our parents become wheelchair bound and wish to remain home with dignity solutions must be found.

Acorn stair lifts are one of the most popular wheel chair lifting devices on the market and less expensive then altering the house to ad an elevator.
You do not realize that for many the steps present a very large obstacle.

Just a short note to let you know that my husband and myself are delighted with our new stairlift. Helping my husband to bed is now filled with joy & laughter, instead of the nightmare of fearing we'd both end up in a heap at the bottom of the stairs! You have all been a pleasure to deal with. God bless you all. -GD

If you can not easily or safely use the stairs in your home, you might be tempted to avoid the upstairs areas and might even consider selling your house. These options are unnecessary if you own a stair lift.
A stair lift is a mobility aid that is installed to a staircase and is used to carry an individual up and down the staircase.

In most cases a strong aluminum track is secured directly to the stairs. Attached to the track is a car unit that consists of an electric motor and a chair or small platform. The car travels up and down the stairs on the track and can support one rider.

Many people choose to install the stair lift on their own and if you have a straight staircase, this process can generally be done quickly and efficiently.

Just wanted to let you know how pleased we all are with the stair chair you recently installed. We could not have been happier with your sales representative over the phone and your installation people. I would highly recommend Acorn to any and all!! "RTH"

The first step is to secure the track to the steps. Generally the car comes loaded on a short piece of track and this small piece of track is connected to the track on the stairs. The car unit, which consists of electrical motor, chair or platform, and in some cases batteries. The car can be quite heavy, so it is a good idea to get some help bringing it to the top of the stairs.

After the small piece of track that holds the car is attached to the stairs, the car is plugged in and backed down onto the track. The small piece of track can then be removed. For more detailed information go to www.stairlift .com

I was very impressed with the engineering of the stair lift and how quickly Acorn help line responded to a question I had regarding installation. The stair lift installation went smooth and it is in use to the delight of my wife and myself. We are very happy with the quality of the lift we purchased. Thank you for help you provided online and by telephone. -T & O B

While a stair lift for a straight staircase can be installed quickly and inexpensively, if you have a curved staircase, it will cost much more and require professional installation. Sometimes it is possible to install 2 straight stair lifts, but this can only be done on 'L' shaped staircases that have a landing.

This is much less expensive and can be ordered and installed in less than a week, but if you must go with a curved stair lift you are looking at a process that can last over 2 months from the time of order to the time it is installed.
Stair lifts provide a great way to bridge the gap between areas of different elevation in a home.

They can also be used outdoors on the front steps and greatly improve mobility.

We are thrilled with our Acorn Superglide. My wife has heart trouble and the stairlift makes it possible to go up stairs. Thank you again for this wonderful lift. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested. "
DB" I am very pleased with the stairlift we purchased for the homecare of my mother. It works wonderfully well, and she is quite far along with her condition. I can easily transfer her in and out of the stairlift chair. The seatbelt works great, and I just stand alongside the whole way! Perfect for us! -SB
