Stairlifts are cheaper than moving. Here’s what you need to know
One of the hardest parts of aging is losing mobility - things that used to be easy become harder or even impossible - like getting up and down stairs in your home.

Letting you use of all areas of your house (upstairs and basement)
Maintaining your independence in your home
