There comes a point in your life where you know it is time for a change. Whether you are considering getting a stairlift because you find yourself frequently worried about the safety of a loved one or because your staircase has suddenly become an obstacle in your home, sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Your mind may be swimming with questions and concerns, bombarded by doubt and stress about the process of purchasing a stair lift that may tempt you to abandon the idea altogether. Do not let your worry consume you and hold you back from making one of the best decisions of your life. Sit back and allow Acorn to put your mind at rest. Here are your biggest concerns about purchasing a stairlift addressed.
Do I Really Need a Stairlift?
Think about this frightening reality. Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Although adults older than 60 years of age suffer the greatest number of fatal falls, no age group is immune to the danger, as 37.3 million falls occur each year that are severe enough to require medical attention. Do not wait until you or your loved one becomes a statistic. If you are a prisoner in your own home, confined to a single floor and longing for the freedom you once had, it is time to take action. If there is any fear or doubt in your mind about you or someone else’s ability to safely navigate stairs in your home, do not wait until it is too late to install a stairlift. Your new stairlift might just save someone’s life or prevent serious injury.
Will a Stairlift Fit to my Stairs?
At Acorn Stairlifts, there is not a staircase that we have not seen.

Will There Be Enough Room for Others to Use the Stairs?
Once the stair lift is installed, there should be plenty of room for other people to use the staircase. The rail installation only requires 20 cm, and the lift itself requires 33 cm (upfolded). However, any concerns you have will be addressed by Acorn’s knowledgeable surveyors during your free, non-obligation home survey.
