When should you install a chair lift in someones home?

Installing a chair lift should be considered and evaluated with appropriate professionals when:

- An individual, temporarily or permanently, experiences limitations in mobility while climbing stairs.

- Someone struggles with balance, stability, or muscle weakness that makes stair climbing difficult.

- The staircase is deemed unsafe or presents accessibility challenges for someone with mobility difficulties.

- There's a need to help older adults or individuals with disabilities safely access different levels of a home.

- The layout or design of the staircase makes it unsuitable or challenging for a wheelchair or other assistive devices to navigate.

- The individual resides in a multi-story house and prefers to maintain their independence and ability to move freely within the home.

- Home modifications or renovations that can improve accessibility are being explored.

However, it's important to involve healthcare professionals, occupational therapists, and experts in accessibility to properly assess the individual's needs, the home environment, and the most appropriate solutions for their specific situation.
