At some point in our lives, many of us will take on caring responsibilities. In fact, there are an estimated 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK who look after family members with disability or illness; senior relatives who are frailer in later life, as well as friends or neighbours. This number is expected to grow.
The role of caring is an important and valuable one, but it is often unexpected. We can be unprepared for the extra duties involved, such as bathing, toileting and other personal care, cleaning and shopping, prescription collections and hospital visits. We may already be juggling our job with a young family or travelling a considerable distance each day, so additional caring responsibilities can create stress and consume precious time. Ultimately, many of us feel guilty that we simply are not doing our best.
There is a lot of support for carers from organisations such as Carers UK. However, feasible solutions are not always clear or affordable. Care homes and later living housing options can be expensive and are not always an acceptable choice by the individual or family members.
At Stiltz Home Lifts, we believe that home adaptations, such as the installation of domestic lifts, can significantly ease daily living pressures for those of us with caring responsibilities as well as for people with restricted mobility. A Stiltz domestic lift, for example, ensures those we are caring for can remain independent and continue living in the home they love with safe access to enable them to complete daily tasks. If carer assistance is required, a Stiltz Trio+ Home Lift can carry up to three people or provide ample room for a wheelchair or walker.
Many of our senior relatives currently reside alone in homes that do not support safe, independent living. If they struggle to use the stairs, they may need to be carried to an upstairs bedroom or bathroom – which can be an undignified and physically draining experience for everyone involved. According to Carers UK, the significant demands of caring mean that 600 people give up work every day to care for a disabled or older relative. Specialist home adaptations can provide safe, affordable access and positive living which reduce or even remove the burden of care.
Stiltz Home Lifts works closely with highly-respected accessibility champion, Emma Luddington from Living Well at Home. Emma provides guidance on easier living solutions within the home for those with limited mobility. Together, we believe that with the right advice and specialist adaptations, such as domestic lifts, our loved ones can remain safely independent at home, providing peace of mind for all.
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.
