Home Elevators Can Help You Age in Place

When you think of an elevator in a home, you may think of The Jetsons or another futuristic show. But believe it or not, having an elevator in the house is not as uncommon as you might think. When an aging loved one experiences limited mobility, going up and downstairs is no longer safe and easy.

That’s why you may consider a home elevator to can help you or your loved ones stay in their home when the stairs become a challenge.

When do home elevators qualify for your solution? 

Aging in place has become a large trend in the older population. Studies have found that most homeowners want to stay in their existing homes as they age. For some, selling a two-story or even three-story home and moving into a one-level home can become expensive and stressful.

Fortunately, home elevators have become a less expensive solution for people with limited mobility and looking to age comfortably in their home.

Benefits of Home Elevators

Convenience

It’s easy to overlook the many daily activities that could be challenging for people aging in place. Whether it’s tidying up each week from room to room or putting away laundry, there are many times that require going up and down the stairs. With a home elevator, it makes routine activities easier and more pleasant.

Comfort

The activity of climbing and descending stairs can put a strain on your muscles, ligaments, and cardiovascular system. Stairs are often risky for older adults. As our loved ages, chronic pain, inflexibility, or vision issues can lead to trouble with stairs.

To help avoid falling or serious injuries, a home elevator can give you peace of mind and make a comfortable and relaxing experience as your glide up and down the levels of your home.

Independence

Another and an essential reason to add a residential elevator is to maintain independence. As you or your loved one continues to age, limited mobility and medical issues will arise. A trip or a fall up or down the stairs can cause you or your loved one’s independence to decrease.

A home elevator can help you restore your independence and allow you to travel freely up and down the levels of your home.
