Wheelchair Stair Lift

you need to call a local government agency or maybe just a local code enforcement could give you what you need. I was able to go to city hall once to get a copy of a law that I needed and it was only a couple dollars. good luck.

Bruno Stair Lifts make any home wheelchair accessible. Bruno Stair Lifts can be purchased from MC Mobility Systems, Inc. along with other home ...

I cant get up to investigate, I know she has some one up there, as there is a strange wheelchair at the bottom of the stairs. She was at bingo tonight and must have pulled, should I puncture the wheels on the chair?

Take out your hearing aid & then you won't have to listen to their moaning & groaning :)

My neighbors porch lift is on it's last legs, I can repair with the parts. Needed- guide rollers, bushings and guide blocks. ANYONE knows where I can find these parts???? It's an American Stair Glide Porch Lift (they don't list parts for sale)Please, he really needs this to get out of his house, Thank you

You need to contact his local durable medical equipment provider for assistance, or even a local mobility shop can point you in the right direction. Wheelchair lifts and ramps should be installed and repaired by a licensed professional.

Has anyone ever investigated the cost of a home elevator system? For example, this one:

We've looked at stair lifts but an out of the way elevator would be preferable. I'd like just general costs, the websites never even hint at their costs .
Thank you
Forgot to add that it's just two stops (upstairs and downstairs).

We looked into them about a year ago and the costs vary widely depending on the bells and whistles you want to add. We were not looking at free standing models like the one you have the link to, we were looking at closet enclosures. (Where a closet space is used to conceal the elevator and its mechanisms.) For a very small one large enough to accomodate a wheelchair and one person, the cheapest one we found was in the $10,000 range with installation and a 5 year warranty on bare minimum accessories. You really have to email most of the manufacturers with your specifications for them to compile an estimate ( a lot has to do with whether there is electricity to the area, the space available for the lift mechanisms, etc.) Interestingly, if you have healthcare spending account funds, the elevator is not an eligible reimbursed expense even with a doctor's statement.

hi i am friends with an elderly lady who has had both legs amputated - she would love a power chair because her arms are now getting tired and sore - she doesn't seem to be getting help from her social worker or ot - her kitchen needs adapted too as she still has cupboards high on the wall which are of no use to her - she had to buy her own stair lift and portable ramp but she just cant afford a power chair - any ideas would be appreciated - i have emailed local councillors but nothing came back
thank you all for your speedy replies the lady in question has bought her own house and i don't know if this has prevented her from getting a grant in the past - any adaptions she has had to pay for and get someone to install it for her - thanks again
thank you all so much i wish you all lived near us - we've never had so much support - we just seem to be hitting a brick wall with every turn - she wouldn't like to be interviewed as she just accepts she won't get help - if anyone deserves a power chair this lady does - thanks again for your support

You need to badger social services, there are many things they can do to help, also enquire at CAB Citizens advice bureau. This really is a disgrace, she should NOT have to pay for all her own stuff. Does she get invalidity and mobility allowance, I`m sure she could/should. Please let us know on Y/A the outcome, we would all like to know how this pans out. Good luck.
