Sterling Stairlifts now has an outdoor curved stair chair available. This is a unique addition to the stair chair offering as very few manufacturers offer the option for curved stair lifts. The curved application has previously been limited to an interior stair chair only. There has always been a need for an exterior unit that will do more than go up and down a straight flight of stairs and no one that I am aware of has offered a curved exterior application until now.

As we age or sustain a disability or illness access into and around our homes becomes a consideration. Due to aging knees and backs and general reduction in mobility, steps and different levels can become an obstacle and sometimes even dangerous.

Finding a home without any stairs at all is not easy in most parts of the country and moving might not be a possibility. Therefore one has to consider the options available in creating a universal design home that will work for aging seniors as well as those living with a disability or illness. If you are an adult child of aging parents the possibility of injury to a parent as they age in place may be a serious concern. Following are some options starting at the least expensive to the most costly.
