It's rare, but sometimes you'll encounter a staircase which simply won't allow for a stairlift - maybe it's got a very awkward shape or it's just too narrow. There can also be problems if you have trouble getting on and off of a stairlift - if the stairlift causes you as many problems as the stairs you might as well not bother! Luckily, there's a way to make accessing the upstairs floors easy - a vertical, through the floor lift. There are situations in which you might need very comprehensive mobility equipment. If you or a family member have severe difficulties getting in and out of bed, normal aids like stairlifts will not be sufficient. In this case, by far the most effective way of helping to make life easier is with a ceiling track hoist. These easily used pieces of equipment are safe and allow for the greatest degree of comfort for both the person using them and any carers.
