Stairlifts

(((hugs))), Maw. No advice but that is quite a mental leap, I know!

Maw Just a thought, but would Paw need a stairlift for all the stairs? If you had one for six of the stairs, could he manage the other six by walking up/down them?

That is a point, I'll ask OT when I see them. Thank you.

For Mum we had exactly the arrangement you mentioned - 2 short straight lifts with half landing.
She was very happy with it and so were the DGCs!
Will check with sister re brand but think it was Acorn.

I bought my stairlift via a small company in 2009 but it has been swallowed up by a larger company.

I agree with mcem if 2 stairlifts can be fitted, that is what I would go for because it would be a matter of time before you purchased another anyway.

Double check emergency call outs. I am lucky, I have a downstairs loo and if necessary I could negotiate the stairs but some call outs take 24 hours to appear!

Call out charges I have found are horrendous especially if there is something fairly major wrong so at the start I took out insurance. I do not any more because I have moved my "office" downstairs so that I am not using the stairlift unnecessarily.

I plan how I use it, I do not use it willy nilly if that makes sense. Feel free to ask any questions which spring to mind.
