How a homelift can benefit you

We’re lucky enough to live in a time when innovation and technology can help make convenience and comfort the first priorities in our homes. Homelifts are a brilliant example of this, with a plethora of benefits you can enjoy. Once something people would never have thought of having, homelifts are now becoming a popular choice for those who want to upgrade their spaces.

In this article, we delve into the ways a homelift can benefit you and enrich your life.

The best homelift benefits:

• Improved accessibility
• Increased property value
• Convenience and comfort
• Future-proofing
• Easy to use

Improved accessibility

The primary benefit of a homelift, and the reason most people opt to invest in one, is the improved accessibility it can offer. A homelift is an invaluable investment because it helps you move between floors with ease. Perfect for those with limited mobility, experiencing fatigue, with an injury or who just want a little help around the home, the homelift is the ultimate home mobility tool.

Unlike stairlifts, homelifts can accommodate users with wheelchairs, making them a better option for those who rely on a wheelchair or walking aid. The versatility of a homelift makes it the most reliable mobility aid with the greatest longevity.

Increased property value

Investing in a homelift really is an investment, as it’ll increase your property value. Whether you are considering selling your home soon or are just looking for purposeful upgrades to make to your home, a homelift can be a great choice. Even if you don’t require a homelift, you’ll be able to enjoy its benefits and the increased value when you put your property on the market. Plus, by making your home more accessible, it’ll appeal to a wider audience and improve interest in the property.

Convenience and comfort

It’s not only those who have mobility issues that can benefit from a homelift. There are always times when we need to carry things upstairs, from the weekly laundry load to suitcases packed for a trip to new furniture. These trips can be hard to manoeuvre and tiresome, especially with bulky or heavy items. A homelift makes it easy to move things between floors in the home, reducing strain over time.

Future-proofing

If you’re in your forever home, future-proofing it early can be rewarding. Not only will you be able to enjoy the benefits of a homelift for longer, but when mobility changes do happen, whether through ageing or injury, you’ll be prepared.

Especially in the instance of a sudden injury or illness, knowing you’ll be able to transition home easily and keep your independence will offer peace of mind you’ll appreciate massively. Even a simple sprain can make navigating stairs painful and dangerous; however, a homelift will mean you can continue to move between floors with ease. And, if your mobility starts to wane in later life, you’ll not have to wait until it becomes unbearable before installing a homelift, as you’ll already have one in place and a firm part of your home.

Mobility aids come easy to use by nature, and homelifts are no different, making them simple to use for everyone. You may worry that the introduction of mobility aids will complicate your life; however, our easy-to-use homelifts are simple additions to your home that will make a big difference.

With an in-car light, mirror, and illuminated controls as standard, it's easy to nip downstairs for a fresh glass of water in the middle of the night. For even more peace of mind, you could upgrade to remote-controlled call stations, an in-car telephone, and diagnostic displays.
