Older adults living alone or with family members or caregivers can manage transportation issues more effectively and can enjoy the freedom to visit their own front and back yards without help. Porch elevator lifts and level pathways can even allow wheelchair-bound individuals to navigate their gardens and enjoy outdoor time on their own. This can increase the environments and activities available to elderly and disabled people in their own homes or when sharing space with other family members.
2. Added Convenience for Caregivers and Family Members
Porch lifts can lessen the strain on older joints and bones by removing the obstacle of stairs on the way inside. By using a lift rather than trying to navigate stairs, older adults can often manage with little or no help and can even provide assistance in carrying groceries and other items into the home. This can significantly reduce the workload of those entrusted with the care of these individuals on a regular basis.
3. Greater Safety in the Residential Setting
Ramps and porch lift installations can provide more secure footing and reduced fatigue for elderly individuals. Stairs can take a real toll on aging hips and may contribute to stress fractures and other common issues associated with excessive activity. This can reduce the likelihood of injuries to prevent extended hospital stays or painful recoveries for these beloved family members.
4. Porch Lifts Increase The Resale Value of Homes
As America’s population continues to age, more families will require mobility solutions for aging parents and grandparents. This will increase demand for homes that incorporate exterior elevator lifts and other modifications that improve access for these individuals. By investing in solid, durable lifts, ramps and handrails, homeowners can make an investment that can pay off in increased interest and higher offers at the time of eventual sale.
Companies like Access Elevator can install attractive and reliable mobility equipment that complements your existing landscaping and décor. These access solutions can provide real help for older family members and can allow caregivers to enjoy added convenience in maintaining their busy schedules.
Consider Porch Lifts for Better Outside Access
With the weather warming up for spring, it is the perfect time to consider porch lifts for better outside access. In other words, for handicap access to any indoor or outdoor porch or deck with stairs, or an uneven elevation.
Porch lifts are designed to take a wheelchair and its passenger up or down a set of stairs, creating access without the need for a spacious ramp. Some porch lifts utilize the staircase already in place, and some move straight up and down from one level to the other.
No matter the configuration of the home, there are lift options available that do not require major modifications to the staircase or the structure of your deck or porch. These lifts are also available in a variety of styles, colors and finishes, so that they will blend in with the home’s décor.
