Some manufacturers provide a variable speed of 0 to 38 feet per minute.

3) How sturdy are these lifts to install?

The sturdiness of track and the seat assembly of a stairlift can change so that it is not bad to do a little bit of homework. To be able to find out how sturdy a stairlift is, make certain it's powerful enough for the heaviest user by comparing maximum weight capacities. Some companies maintain the strongest in the sector is the model that provides the heaviest weight capacity at 400 lbs.. Heavier duty versions need larger batteries and more sturdy paths. Heavy duty versions cost more so be sure you get the model that matches the individual who'll use the stairlift. Always check whether the producer has a proven reputation for durable, safe and well made products.

4) Can these be used on carpeted floors?

Lifts can be set up on all types of flooring (carpeting, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairs). Installers can twist right through the carpet. Professional installers don't cut the paths inside the house, because the aluminum processors are very hard to remove from the carpets. One thing that pros say is that if your carpet will probably need replacing in the next 5 years, you may want to replace it before you've got a stairlift. Otherwise, you'll have to factor in the cost of uninstalling and reinstalling the stairlift.

Used electric-powered stairlifts can start at about $1,299.00, while battery-powered stairlifts can start at about $1,399.00 in North Carolina. Both models are comparably priced when you purchase them new. The price difference is minimal initially. In the long term, electric-powered stairlifts may cost you if you factor in the amount of maintenance and replacement batteries. Frequently, it's recommended to get the battery rather than attempt to replace it yourself although there are batteries that are pretty simple to install depending on the version. Most batteries are rated to last for approximately 3,200 one way trips, but the life of the battery actually depends how often you use the stairlift.

7) How are these lifts fitted?

Making your purchase can involve an excellent deal of time effort and decision making when you consider which attributes matter most to you and all the different types of stairlifts that are available to you personally that will best suit your needs. Once you have determined, the lift that is fitting entails ensuring that the greatest attention is given to the system fitting correctly in order that you don't have to worry about its security or dependability. Your best bet would be to have it fit by certified Chapel Hill professionals. These licensed professionals measure pitch angle and the step heights to achieve correctness. The professional discover how your stairs can be fit by the stairlift --and will visit the site--indoor or outside. The track will be secured by them to the stairs with supports fixed to the staircase. Frequently people wonder if it's connected to the wall, but the stairlift is right fitted via the floor covering of the stairway. In case the stairwell is removed, your staircase is free of damage. The railing attachment points are reachable over the top of any carpeting you may have on the steps.

8) Can you apply for one of these lifts if you are on disability?

Someone have a health condition that meets their definition of impairment and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was insured by Social Security. Benefits may be covered in the event you're injured or on disability. Since SSI is a needs-based plan and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, eligibility for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to achieve an occupational goal. The cash that is set aside under a PASS can be used for anything that results in an occupational goal and may be used to cover home modifications via an SSI savings plan. It's possible for you to learn more about PASS through your North Carolina Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213.

Modern rail layouts can help the stairlift travel around corners snugly, comfortably, and smoothly to fit your lifestyle, leaving lots of room for individuals to walk the stairs up and down easily.

10) Does health insurance cover equipment cost and installation of a lift?

Medicare will not cover setup prices and stairlift equipment, for the reason that they are home alterations, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment includes lifts which are used to help a patient in out of a chair or bed. Medicaid in your state may cover stairlifts through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers. In North Carolina, persons with limited financial resources might be eligible for the North Carolina Medicaid COPES Waiver, recently replaced by the Community First Choice Option. It empowers individuals who supports independent living and require nursing home level attention to receive that care at home, including coverage for home alterations. Family members can be compensated for supplying caregiving assistance. It is best to review different insurance policies. Some private health or long-term care insurance can help pay for house adjustments that are limited. Check with your Chapel Hill insurance carrier to examine coverage alternatives. The National Association of Home Builders suggests that some auto insurance, worker's compensation, long-term care policies, state catastrophic accident insurance plans, and medical trust funds can cover the expenses of a home adjustment.

11) Are there any structural modifications needed before installing a lift?

No. There are not any adjustments which are mandatory since stairlifts do not attach to the wall. The stairlift is installed into existing stair treads. The one thing that we do advocate is that if you are intending to modify the flooring or carpet in your stairs in the following five years, you might want to intend to do it before you install your stairlift to avert future removal and re-installation costs.

12) Does it increase or decrease the value of my home?

The entire worth of your home won't depreciate. If you plan on selling your Chapel Hill home, realtors used to urge that a stairlift be removed prior to putting your house on the North Carolina market, nevertheless given increased life expectancy, this is not any longer the case. You can even totally remove the stairlift with no signs of installation when you no longer want or desire it or go. Realtors can list that the house is appropriate for accessible independent living and that the stairlift is a high utility value for physically disabled people and if a purchaser wants it removed, then that possibility is offered by them.
