Intro
Stairlifts are a common solution for people who find stairs difficult or unsafe to use. They allow individuals to move between floors while remaining seated, helping reduce the risk of falls and physical strain.
This section of HomeFreedom provides independent, UK-focused guidance on stairlifts, explaining when they may be suitable, what options exist, and what to consider before making any decisions.
