Well over half-a-million Acorn Stairlifts have been installed for satisfied customers here in the UK and around the world. Our industry leading British-made stairlifts are shipped to more than 80 countries so that somewhere in the world an Acorn Stairlift is installed every eight minutes.
Some people need a stairlift urgently and we have consistently the fastest response times in the industry. Even with more complex curved stairlifts, we can install a tailor-made solution just days after you contact us, thanks to our unique FastTrack® system.
For other customers the decision to fit a stairlift in their home is a more gradual process, part of planning to meet their needs now and in the future. In either case we’ve learned from our customers that there are lots of ways an Acorn Stairlift will ‘give your life a lift’. Here are just five:
Struggle and strife. Many of our customers soldiered on long after their stairs became a daily struggle. One of the things we hear most often is: “I just wish I’d done it sooner!” At a single stroke an Acorn Stairlift will do away with the struggle and strife of climbing up and down the stairs. Even if you don’t use it every time, it’s there for the days when you need it, and you might find the effort and energy wasted on climbing the stairs can be put to better use elsewhere.
Safe and secure: If you’re not as agile as you once were, your stairs might not be just a struggle, they could be a danger too. Of all the places in your home to have a trip or fall, the stairs are the worst. It’s not just the strength in your arms and legs that can be an issue; many of our customers wisely invest in a stairlift because climbing the stairs can make them dizzy or light-headed. Avoiding unnecessary risks is one of the keys to maintaining good health, especially as you get older. Why risk your wellbeing on the stairs when an Acorn Stairlift will glide you smoothly up and down in comfort and safety whenever you like. For safety’s sake, a stairlift makes sense.
Stress-free families: It’s not just you who will benefit from your stairlift – your loved ones will find it a relief too. Many people contact us about an Acorn Stairlift not for their own use, but for someone they care about – perhaps a parent or spouse. So many of these customers tell us they no longer have the constant worry that their loved one might come to grief on the stairs. Others tell us they just enjoy seeing how much easier it has made their loved one’s daily life. Sometimes it takes someone who cares to know what’s best for us.
Safeguard your self-reliance: “One of the worst things about getting older is having to rely on other people to help you with things that used to be easy.” That’s another thing we hear all the time, whether it’s wrestling with a stubborn jar lid or trimming your toenails. But there are lots of home aids that will help you with these tasks, and using the stairs safely is no different. With an Acorn Stairlift you can retain your independence. Why rely on others to see you safely up and down the stairs when you can make your own way? With an Acorn Stairlift you can single-handedly take control of life’s ups and downs!
Stay put and sleep sound: Moving house in later life and leaving the home you love can be an unsettling and expensive upheaval you could well do without. Yet that’s what some of our customers were facing before their Acorn Stairlift provided a better solution. If the combination of reduced mobility and stairs means your home is no longer ‘user-friendly’, you don’t have to consider moving to a bungalow or flat, or restricting yourself to single floor living. A stairlift eliminates the obstacle of stairs so you can still enjoy all of your home and sleep sound in your own bedroom. And don’t assume your stairs are too narrow, steep or awkward for a stairlift. After installing more than half-a-million, there isn’t a staircase situation we haven’t already encountered!
These are just a few of the ways an Acorn Stairlift can give your life a lift, and it can be more affordable than you might think. For more information and to organise a free, no-obligation survey and quote, give us a call today on 0800 016 9760.
