Straight Stair Chairs
If climbing up and down stairs has become difficult or unsafe for either you or a loved one, you may want to consider a stair chair (also known as a stair lift). These devices carry an individual up and down a staircase safely and can mean the difference between being able to stay in your home or finding alternative housing arrangements. Stair chairs can be easily installed on both straight or curved stairways in approximately 4-5 hours.

What Is a Stairlift?
A stairlift is a motorized chair system mounted to a rail along your staircase, allowing individuals with limited mobility to move safely between floors.
