Last month it was National Arthritis Week – an event by charity Arthritis Research UK, aimed at raising awareness about the condition.
Arthritis is reported to be one of the biggest causes of pain and disability in the United Kingdom and around 10 million people are said to be living in discomfort with it every day. It affects mostly the elderly but, also people of all ages, causing difficulty when standing, walking or lifting.
The aim of Arthritis Research UK’s event this year was to highlight how painful it can be for people with the condition and encourage sufferers to share their stories on its website.
Through their website and social media, the charity launched its new ‘Share your day, Shape our future’ campaign, to help guide the research it will fund in 2016 and it proved to be very popular.
As part of National Arthritis Week, we were able to share stories, via Twitter and Facebook of two Stiltz customers suffering with arthritis who spoke about how a Stiltz domestic lift had improved their lives.
The first story involved a husband talking about how, with his help, it was taking up to half an hour for his wife to climb their stairs due to rheumatoid arthritis of her knee. He spoke about how since the couple had had the home lift installed it had ‘transformed their lives’.
The second story we shared was told through the eyes of our customer’s daughter who was extremely pleased with how quickly the Stiltz domestic lift could be installed and the lack of disruption it caused. This meant her mother’s quality of life, so affected by her arthritis, could be instantly improved.
Here at Stiltz, we recognise that there are many reasons why users may need a home lift, and we hope by sharing our customers’ stories about arthritis during National Arthritis Week that it has meant that other sufferers have become aware of the many options out there (a home lift being just one of them), that can make their day-to-day lives much more comfortable.
Easy to arrange lots of information, No problems with fitting, payment taken in stages, last payment when job was completed. Everyone was friendly from start to finish.
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.
Great looking product, knowledgeable sales people, fitters work clean quickly and polite. Definitely recommend.
Great stylist lift, had for six months without a hitch. Installed by company staff not subcontractors. Cannot fault the lift, buying experience, installation, service. Good company ethos and made in UK.
From the very beginning with the initial construction to the finished product. I have never seen such polite men with an equal work ethic. They cleaned as they went each day. The pets were never in harm. The finished product is awesome. Couldn’t be more pleased
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.
Elegant lift, promptly installed by careful and tidy fitters who removed their rubbish the following day. A fair price and an envied addition to our home.
I have been astounded and gratified by the levels of service we have received from every member of the Stiltz teams we have dealt with. A superb lift with exceptional service!
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.
The service was better than 1st class. It was excellent in every way. We could not be more pleased with everything Stiltz applied it’s self to in any way. We would award 6 stars at the very least.
