We are an authorized dealer and service vendor for Handicare Stair Lifts, manufactured by Handicare, USA. If climbing up and down stairs has become difficult or unsafe for either you or a loved one, you may want to consider a stair chair (also known as a stair lift). These devices carry an individual up and down a staircase safely and can mean the difference between being able to stay in your home or finding alternative housing arrangements.
A threshold free shower (also known as a curbless or handicapped shower) can make bathing easier and safer for everyone - regardless of age or disability. Removing the "lip" of a shower means that the bathroom floor and floor of the shower have a flush even entry, eliminating all obstacles. A threshold-free shower decreases the risk of falls and enables access into the shower by wheelchair.
Often the least expensive way to get from outside ground level to the house floor level is by installing a wheelchair or walking ramp. We install ramps made of wood, aluminum and create earthen landscaped options. We can advise you on the best type of ramp to suit your needs and budget. We can also remove any thresholds, install "miniramps", providing obstacle free movement throughout your home.
The difference between a lift and a home elevator is in both the design and cost. An elevator has a totally enclosed cab and requires a shaft. A shaft is a wall enclosure that surrounds the cab and the machinery. A lift typically has an open cab, except for 42 panels on the sides of the platform. Lifts are generally more basic and lower cost than elevators.
