If you think about it, there are many ways that the long months of winter can be made safer indoors. Whether your loved one is suffering from arthritis, hip issues, back pain or other mobility challenges, Living Free Home offers lots of devices to make the winter easier.

You can learn more by calling 1-888-545-4846 or by clicking the links above. We can install a stair lift anywhere in New Jersey, Metro New York City (NYC), Boston and surrounding areas, and Philadelphia and surrounding areas.

So many parts of the home become more difficult when you’re there more often.

There’s no place in the home, besides perhaps the bed, that elderly loved ones spend more time than in their favorite reading chair. If that describes someone you know, consider one of our lift chairs. We offer a wide range of fabrics in a full price range.

The kitchen is fraught with dangers for a mobility challenged person. For instance, reaching up onto higher shelves can be downright dangerous. Living Free Home offers reach extenders that can help your loved one reach up onto the highest shelves, extending their reach over 3 feet.

Getting into and out of the home in the winter presents particular challenges. We recommend a wheelchair ramp for those with walkers or wheelchairs. They’re also much easier to shovel than stairs.

Remember that a stair lift makes an amazing holiday gift, (though it’s not easy to get down the chimney). Here’s how the process works –
One of our hand picked certified technicians will visit you at your home to carefully measure your stairways for a stair lift and evaluate the optimal solution to suit your elderly loved one’s needs. All our technicians carry complete credentials and Photo ID to provide you the kind of reassurance that’s made Living Free Home so trusted by others. Most visits require no more than 30 minutes to complete. That same day, right at your home, we’ll present you with a complete quotation on the cost of the stair lift and cost of installation. We can have your stair lift installed in as little as 48 hours* from the time we visit your home — at no additional cost! *Excludes Custom Models

Make a list of what you like best about your family and the holidays:

While you’re taking that airplane ride or that long car drive, make a list of why your family is pretty darn great. Can’t think of any? Sure you can! Even the crazy-funny ones count! Remember Chevy Chase’s Christmas with the aunt who wrapped up the cat as a Christmas present? I bet you’ve got a few wild stories as well. As you’re driving home, recall some of those times. some families are loud, brave, funny, affectionate, and generous. Every family has redeemable qualities, even if you have to stretch a bit to find them.

What family traditions do you still carry on today?
Do you open presents Christmas morning—or the night before?
Do you have a giant brunch with family and friends or do you serve crown rib-roast just like your mom used to?
Do you always listen to Nat King Cole’s “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” just like your dad always played on the record player?

Much of what we do around the holidays comes from our families. Our heritage becomes important as we have children and pass on who we are through songs, recipes, stories, and memories.

Remember to thank you parents for the traditions you continue today.

Choose to Lay Down the Grudge:
I was recently reminded of something I said 25 years ago by an extended family member. I was in my early 20s and I’m sure I was a blooming idiot! I couldn’t believe she even remembered the incident. At that moment I chose to forgive her—and me. I decided I needed to erase my “hard-drive” and start letting a few people off the hook. Be the one this holiday to let go of old grudges. We were all once young hot-heads—let’s not be middle-aged hot-heads! It’s time we passed a heaping bowl of grace around the table this holiday season.

Decide to Be Present With Your Parents and Family This Year:
As you sit in our parent’s living room, or they’re in yours, stop thinking about work, about what the future may hold, about your paltry IRA. None of us have a guarantee we’ll be here this time next year. Drink your eggnog, hum along to a Christmas tune and really look into your parent’s faces. Love them as they are. Imperfect, yes. Yours, all the way. The holidays give us a chance to be together—but we have to decide to be present in mind, body and spirit.

Separate Your Caregiving Role from Your Family Identity:
If you’re already dealing with medications, doctor appointments, home health aides and all that comes with caregiving, it’s easy to hide behind that role and forget to be a son or daughter, spouse or friend. Caregiving (www.caring.com) is doing. Family member is being. During the holidays, take moment to let down your guard, forget your to-do list and take your mom or dad’s hand and remember who you are.
