I realised early on we would need to put something in place to help Tony, especially with the stairs. However, our stairs are dog-legged, so a stairlift wasn’t going to be the best option for us. Also, with Alzheimer’s being a progressive condition, I was concerned a stairlift would only be a short-term solution. Then I saw a Stiltz Home Lifts advertisement in the Radio Times and decided to get in touch.
It’s been the perfect answer for us. It gives him continued independence and it’s also a great help for me as he can, for now at least, get around safely. It has given us back a bit of our life as it used to be.
