Stair Lift

Does anyone use an electric stair lift on your steps or do you just deal with the breatlessness going up the stairs. The laundry basket is the worst!

  1. Hi . I hope you get some helpful responses from the community. Personally. if an electric stair lift made me feel safer, I would go for it. Given that carrying laundry is hard for you, it worries me that you might fall. Have you gotten estimates? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. I have a stairlift. I resisted for about a year after it was recommended believing that I needed to walk the stairs to keep strength up and exercise. After a year I gave in because doing the stairs wiped me out. I hate it moves so slow lol. But I do use it and it’s good because it reserves my energy so I can do other things like make my breakfast or take a walk.
