Future-proofed homes help people age in place without leaving their communities. Wider doorways, wet rooms, and homelift readiness create inclusive spaces that support independence, wellbeing, and stronger multi-generational living.
Removal of barriers to older people buying homes in multi-generational areas must be a primary concern for policymakers, developers and town planners. The current strategy of building retirement complexes, hiding older people away while removing them from mainstream living, is unsustainable.
Creating new homes which are suitable for all; including those with disabilities and older persons, should be a priority not just for the individual wellbeing of the persons concerned but also as a carrier of wider societal benefits. Statistics show relocating at a later age can be detrimental to physical and mental health and people are most comfortable continuing to live in familiar surroundings, not just within the home but also within their immediate neighbourhood with a strong support network.
So, what if all homes had in-built future-proofing to enable older people to continue to age in place without the worry of having to move from the homes they love? Would younger and more able-bodied individuals notice if doors were wider to accommodate wheelchairs, wet rooms were standard, or if a pre-cut aperture was hidden in the ceiling space ready to be opened out to house a homelift if needed?

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.
Home lifts are a modern alternative to stairlifts, offering reliability, speed, capacity, and seamless aesthetic integration for a stylish and efficient solution.
