Dear Friend,

When it comes to electric stair lifts on the market today. You'll have

to make choices from many vendors. The decision process and shopping

makes some people feel confused and frustrated. Well, their are some

features that you'll need that others will not. So, the best place to

start is inventorying what your needs are.

If you are at that of life where either due to illness or grappling

with disease you find yourself unable to safely use the stairs? Then

you should consider getting a lift device for your home or office. This

device will definitely enable you to regain the use of your home in a

safer more secure environment. Falls are very problematic for many

people.

The devices can basically be divided into two major categories. One is

a straight angled device. Is the right device model for you? Well that

will depend on the specifications of your home. Reason being is that

your straight angle may be to long. Some of the best devices can serve

from about 5 to 20 feet. If installed properly they are a safe ride and

you'll get years and years of use out of them.

The other major model is an angled model. This style was built to serve

the needs of customers who had staircases that were curved. As you can

imagine this takes more time to install. So no getting a neighbor to

come over and help install it. This model must be custom build on site.

Since it does take more time, the vendors suggest that this is the only

reason the price is more expensive than the former model. You do want a

safe working model don't you? Of course. Then that is the reason to

just price in the custom installation and do know that it should work

perfectly thereafter.

Many people suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis and frozen knees cannot

use the stairs safely. The government with Medicare may assist in

financing this device for you. If you live in America you may be able

to use Medicare and private insurance to pay for this. If the Medicare

pays for some electronic wheel chairs, why wouldn't they pay for your

electric stair lift? Please do a little investigation of this online.
