Stair Lifts and RampsWhen you have difficulty walking or need to use a wheelchair, scooter or walker, even one or two steps can prevent you from getting around your home. A full set of stairs can seem like a nightmare. Maybe you don't go down to the basement as often as you'd like, or up to those second floor bedrooms. The place you call home feels more like a land of obstacles. You may even be thinking you have to move. But there are changes you can make that let you stay in the home you love. A stair lift can give you the freedom and independence you’re looking for, with safe and easy access to upstairs bedrooms, basement laundry room, garage or emergency exits. You no longer have to worry about slipping on the steps, the pain of achy joints, or the sheer exhaustion from going up and down a flight of stairs. If you have steps leading to your front door or porch, you can get an outdoor stair lift or a porch lift. Porch lifts let you easily maneuver a wheelchair from ground level to the porch, like taking an elevator ride. Ramps can be installed on the one or two steps it takes to get into your house, or on the thresholds to make it easier to maneuver a wheelchair, scooter or walker. At MediEquip, we carry a full range of lifts and ramps for your home (and for your vehicle). Whether you are recovering from surgery, illness or injury, or live with limited mobility on a daily basis, or need to make your home and car more accessible for a parent or other loved one who visits or lives with you, MediEquip has a variety of products that will help maintain an active and independent lifestyle. During the free in-home evaluation, we’ll take measurements and assess any special considerations such as curved or multi-level staircases, then tell you the cost and let you know approximately when the stair lift can be installed. For in-stock stair lifts, we can usually install within two to three days, schedule permitting. For stair lifts that need to be ordered and built by the manufacturer, we’ll give you an estimate of how long it will take, and call you once we receive the stair lift to set up an appointment.
Stair lifts must be installed by an authorized technician. Our certified stair lift technicians have completed extensive training by the manufacturers. When you call for an evaluation, we'll ask you a few questions about the stairs in your home: whether the staircase is straight or curved, how many steps there are, if there is a door at the top or bottom of the steps, how wide the steps are. With the answers to these questions, you'll be well on your way to enjoying your entire home again. To find out more, see "All About Stair Lifts".
Call us or stop by one of our convenient locations to see the lifts and ramps for yourself. Each MediEquip store has interactive displays for you to try, with an expert sales staff to answer any questions you may have. If you can’t come into the store, call us for a free in-home evaluation.
