Mobility challenges can come at us rapidly or they can be a slow, inevitable creeping up on us. If they’re the later, there’s often a moment of realization that the one you’re caring for will have when they are forced to realize they no longer have full use of the home they’ve loved for many years. A stair lift solution from Living Free Home will help, but we’ll get to that later. For now, I just wanted you to know there’s a solution.

(skip to a helpful article on how a stair lift can keep your loved one safe in the winter months)

A major cause of mobility issues is falls. These often result in hip injuries, the most common kind of injury in the elderly as that particular bone structure is both fragile and exposed, and so it’s often the point of impact in a fall. In these cases, the moment you realize you’ll have a mobility issue is very clear, very sudden. There’s not eventual dawning of realization. You simply know you’ll need solutions like a stair lift, walk-in shower and other essential equipment.

But the slow creeping attack of arthritis and other aging issues can drag on to the point where a loved one simply spends less and less time on the stairway. One day the decision to sleep on the couch with a comforter over them is simply easier. Then, perhaps they do the same thing the next night. Eventually, they’ve moved a few articles of clothing downstairs into the home office, more blankets for the couch.

This is the sort of issue my aging parents are now going through. They’re in their 70s, living in a split level home, and they have to go up and down two small sets of stairs at least 10 times a day. I keep asking, but they keep saying a stair lift is simply not necessary. But my arthritic mom is definitely ready for a chair lift, if for no other reason than to make her life more convenient. For her, I think it’s a matter of not wanting to admit she’s reaching that point. She’s caught in that slow decline I’m talking about, and we’re all watching it and waiting.

When you see a photo of a person on a stair lift from Living Free Home, they’re smiling. That’s because they’re in a marketing photo. But when you see someone on their very own stair lift in their home, they have an even bigger grin on their face; and it’s not because they’re zooming up and down the stairway – they don’t go that fast. It’s because they get the full use of their home again, for a surprisingly low cost. The slow creep of arthritis won’t stop, but it also won’t completely change every aspect of their life either. Their stair lift has lifted their spirits and that optimism has the power to literally make them feel better.

If you’re caring for someone who is living with the slow advance of age or arthritis-related mobility issues, consider a stair lift solution from Living Free Home.

Winter is the indoor season. Keep your parent safe with a stair lift.

LFHaccess — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:56:27 +0000

Every year caregivers’ worries go up as the temperature goes down. The simple reason is that it’s colder outside, so elderly loved ones spend much more time indoors. The first way to begin alleviating your concerns is by asking Living Free Home to conduct an extensive, FREE Home Accessibility Analysis. We’ll cover every inch of your loved ones’ home to point out any danger areas, like stairways. Then we’ll offer solutions like a stair lift to ensure your aging parents can get up and down to the other floors of their home safely.

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 –

No matter how you spell Arthritis – artritis, arthritus, arthiritis, arthritic, osteoarthritis, – a stair lift will make life easier

LFHaccess — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:57:03 +0000

Arthritis is the cause of a great deal of confusion among the aging and those who care for them, and not just because it’s difficult to spell. One reason Arthritis (artritis, arthritus, arthiritis, arthritic, osteoarthritis, or however else you might spell it) is so difficult when the first symptoms appear is that there are over 100 different types, and they might show up anywhere there’s a joint in the body.

The difficulty caused in movement is where we come in. We’re Living Free Home, experts in stair lift solutions for those aging with arthritis. A stair lift from Living Free Home will be an important part of helping someone you know suffering from artritis (arthritis) stay mobile longer and living more freely in the home they love.

Arthritis, the deterioration of the cartilage which protects the joint, results in great pain with the normal movement of that joint. So if you or an aging person you care for is experiencing arthritus (arthritis) in the joints of the knees, their ability to navigate stairs will be very much impeded. The way many people choose to get around this problem is by living only on one floor of their home. This restriction of movement within the home takes much joy out of life for someone who’s lived there for many years and decades. A stair lift from Living Free Home is a simple, economical and fast solution that will give both you and the aging person you care for the security of knowing no accidents will occur on such a dangerous part of the home.

An investment in a stair lift for your home is not a bad investment either. When we install them, they’re also easy for you to get un-installed should you move or want to sell it. And the installation, while very secure, is usually not very disruptive to the stairway. Your durable and dependable stair lift only requires a minimal amount of hardware to secure it onto the stairway.

The best way to start is by calling 1-888-545-4846 to ask questions or to set up a free appointment for a Home Accessibility Analysis.

We can install a stair lift anywhere in New Jersey, Metro New York City (NYC), Boston and surrounding areas, and Philadelphia and surrounding areas.

How the process works

One of our highly skilled, experienced and certified technicians will visit you at your home to personally measure for your stair lift and evaluate the best solution to your home’s specific 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.

How a stair lift can help you stay safely mobile in your home with arthritis

Unfortunately, arthritis is a painful disease and you’ll have to be inventive to find ways to make life easier while dealing with it. A stair lift from Living Free Home is one way to help, and we offer many other solutions that can make dealing with arthritis much easier.

There are over 100 different kinds of arthritis, which doesn’t just affect older Americans, it can begin to show up earlier. The most common form, osteoarthritis – a type of degenerative joint disease – is caused by trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or simply age. Other kinds of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection.
