Finally in some cases you might want to have an elevator or an escalator to provide disabled access in your own home and speaking to an elevator or escalators consultant is a good idea if your planning a home for a disabled resident. This is often the case for stroke victims or elderly residents who are no longer able to use their stairs but who do not feel ready to leave their property due to all of the attachments they have there and all of the hassle and upheaval involved in moving. In some cases a stair lift is the best solution here, but some homes are unable to fit a stair lift and it also involves a certain difficulty in transferring from a wheel chair. If you speak with an elevator consultant then, then it may be possible instead to have an elevator inserted into your home by the stairs. Again though not all homes will be able to fit an elevator which is why elevator consultants are necessary to help you know what’s best for your particular home. Friends and family might also want to come out in support by installing such items in their own home so that their disabled friend or relative can visit comfortably.
