A Stairlift Is For Life, Not Just For Christmas
The festive season is a time for family, togetherness and reflection. For many, it’s one of the few times a year we can truly spend quality time with loved ones. As we gather to celebrate, exchange gifts and share meals, we often notice changes that may not have been apparent during brief phone calls or visits throughout the year. One of these changes could be the mobility of our elderly relatives or loved ones with disabilities.
Reunions & Realisations
For some families, Christmas can bring an eye-opening realisation: navigating the stairs has become a significant challenge for someone you care about. Perhaps they hesitate at the bottom step, take longer than usual to ascend or express discomfort when moving between floors. These are not just signs of aging – they’re indicators that a solution may be needed to help them maintain their independence and quality of life.
Mobility issues can develop gradually, which makes them easy to overlook during brief interactions. However, when you spend extended time with a loved one, the challenges they face daily can become much more evident.
What to Look Out For
If you’re visiting family this Christmas, here are some key signs that a stairlift might be needed:
1. Hesitation at the stairs: If your loved one pauses or appears anxious before climbing stairs, it could indicate fear or difficulty.
2. Use of Furniture for Support: Using bannisters, furniture or even walls for stability is a common sign of reduced mobility.
3. Complaints of Pain: If they mention discomfort in their knees, hips or back after going up or down stairs, this is worth addressing.
4. Reduced Use of Home: Noticing that they now only use the ground floor, even if they have a bedroom or bathroom upstairs, is a clear indicator that stairs have become a barrier.
5. Visible Fatigue: If they appear unusually tired after climbing stairs, it could be a sign that this activity is placing too much strain on their body.
