Helping elderly downstairs and upstairs in a safe and comfortable way<\/strong><\/h3>\nMany people think that continuing to use the stairs will bring health benefits. However, while \u2018keeping active\u2019 is generally a good idea, straining to use the stairs can inflict lasting damage on our knee joints and increase the risk for falls. With more use comes more damage. Insisting on taking the stairs could lead to accidents, falls and injuries.<\/p>\n
Statistically, falls on stairs are the leading cause of preventable injuries, some of them being severe, especially for elderly persons. Among the most common injuries, responsible for the biggest part of the hospital\u2019s stays, are: fractures of the hips, lower legs, and head injuries. With this scenario in mind, making the stairs easier for the elderly and in doing so improving stair safety is beyond a matter of having some peace of mind or improving seniors\u2019 limited mobility \u2013 it is a matter of life safety.<\/p>\n
Create a safe\u00a0<\/strong>home environment\u00a0<\/strong>for\u00a0<\/strong>elderly people\u00a0<\/strong>with safe\u00a0<\/strong>stairs and steps<\/strong><\/h3>\nOur home should not be dangerous. Going downstairs to make a cup of tea shouldn\u2019t be stressful. Neither should going up to bed. Falling is a sign that our home and stairs aren\u2019t as safe as they should be. An elderly person could seriously injure themselves, which in turn could have a dramatic impact on their long-term plans for living independently in the home they love.<\/p>\n
What\u00a0<\/strong>home modifications\u00a0<\/strong>can we implement to\u00a0<\/strong>reduce the risk of falling\u00a0<\/strong>and create\u00a0<\/strong>a saver home for seniors<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\nReducing the risk of falling is essential to ensure elderly people\u2019s home safety, and one way to achieve this is to make a few home modifications. Consider installing or using mobility aids such as:<\/p>\n
\n- Stairlifts;<\/li>\n
- Stair risers;<\/li>\n
- Walking stick;<\/li>\n
- Grab bar in the bathroom and wherever extra grip is needed;<\/li>\n
- Install visible and easy to reach light switches;<\/li>\n
- Place anti-slips trips on steps or wherever it\u2019s \u00a0needed;<\/li>\n
- Anti-slip stair nosing;<\/li>\n
- Use contrasting colors where possible to increase visibility;<\/li>\n

Stairlift benefits you may not have thought about<\/strong><\/h3>\nHelp for elderly living at home,\u00a0that is, elderly care<\/em>, especially help getting up and down the stairs, is not that easy to find today. So, it\u2019s only normal that when we find ourselves in a situation like that, we start looking for devices to help climb the stairs. We\u2019ll soon discover that a\u00a0stairlift<\/a>\u00a0is the safest and most practical stair assistance for elderly people on the market. Why? Take a look at the benefits<\/a> below:<\/p>\n\n- They prevent falls. <\/strong>We want to ensure home safety. We might start to take precautions to avoid falling down the stairs<\/a>, but none of them will be as safe as a stairlift is.<\/li>\n
- They give peace of mind.<\/strong>\u00a0The knowledge of knowing we\u2019re safe on our stairs and in our own home. That\u2019ll give us an added boost of confidence and just knowing we\u2019re independent will make us feel freer.<\/li>\n
- They give independence back.<\/strong>\u00a0The energy we used to save for getting up and down the stairs<\/a> can now be used on other things. Imagine what that energy could be used on.<\/li>\n
- They<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>re installed quickly and easily.<\/strong>\u00a0Stairlifts take less than a day to install<\/a>, so you can have your whole house back in no time.<\/li>\n
- They<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>re cheaper<\/a> and easier than moving house,<\/strong>\u00a0and offer more comfort than relocating to the ground floor of our house.

Therefore, no planning permission or building work is needed in order to get our independence back.<\/li>\n
- They don<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>t damage your house.<\/strong>\u00a0All our friendly technicians have to do is drill a few small holes in the stairs and the stairlift is installed. No permanent damage<\/a> is done and technicians always clean up after themselves.<\/li>\n
- They<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>re very affordable and economical.<\/strong>\u00a0Running a Stannah stairlift costs less<\/a> than running a kettle or coffee maker.<\/li>\n
- They<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>re flexible.<\/strong>\u00a0No matter what the stairs are like, if they\u2019re straight or curved<\/a>, inside or outside, we can install a stairlift<\/a> that is specifically made to fit them. Not only that, but we also analyze personal needs, and recommend a chair that will suit them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
