When is it Time to Get a Disabled Lift? Part Seven

30 September 2011

They then wait until the point where they have no agility to get up the stairs at all – which means they will either find out as they are trying to get up the stairs and so injure themselves, or will find out and then be trapped on the bottom floor – possibly unable to sleep in their own bed – until they are able to get someone in to install the elevator for them.

            And then there's the chance that you won't get stuck trying to get up the stairs at all – but that you will get stuck trying to get down the stairs. This could then mean you're trapped upstairs where you don't have access to a kitchen, where you don't have access to a toilet perhaps etc etc. If you live alone then this can be quite serious.

            If you don't live alone then leaving it until the point when you get on the stairs though is also not a viable option. If your disability is due to old age then there's a chance that your partner will be elderly too. Even if they aren't – lifting someone is a very difficult and awkward movement.
