A 10-year study reveals six lifestyle choices to slow memory decline, paired with home adaptations like Stiltz Homelifts to enhance independence and quality of life.
6 ways to slow memory decline as you age

As identified in a recent Guardian article, memory is a fundamental function that we require at a high level to continue living independently. As we age, our memory begins to decline, which can lead to the need to re-evaluate how we can continue to live independently. A dementia diagnosis can accelerate this decision.
A new 10-year study has suggested six lifestyle choices to help slow memory decline, with proof that over-60s who combine more healthy lifestyle choices share a lower probability of developing dementia or mild cognitive impairment relative to those who were least healthy. The study presents a healthy lifestyle score, calculated using six factors, including a healthy diet; regular exercise; active social contact; cognitive activity; non-smoking; and not drinking alcohol.
These healthy behaviours, combined with providing a safe environment at home for continued independent living, such as futureproofing the home with a Stiltz Homelift, can maintain the quality of life we desire in our senior years.

Customer Testimonials
My experience with Stiltz Homelifts. Just over a month ago, I had my Stiltz lift installed and I am so pleased with it. The workmen that came and fitted it were very professional and knew what they were doing. They were so professional I would not hesitate to recommend Stiltz lifts to anybody.
Excellent from beginning to end – and beyond.
Everybody we dealt with at Stiltz was very helpful and efficient, from the initial meeting with Nick Sale, the sales rep, thorough technical inspection, the builders, installers, plumber, electrician, and excellent follow up service and attention. My husband’s life is transformed and mine is much easier. Thank you Stiltz.
An excellent company from the first contact to the completed project. All personnel were friendly and very polite but stayed extremely professional throughout. Having been in the construction industry for over 40 years I was aware the preparation work was carried out to a high standard by the best of trades people. The lift itself can not be faulted both the operation and aesthetics.
