Dignity. It’s a word that many of us may take for granted. We assume it’s there, available to us when we want it and need it, when we choose to be identified as such. But what happens when you start to get older, and you can’t take care of yourself anymore? What about when you can’t meet your basic human needs? Where is your dignity then?
Todd Schuck, an expert in Waterbury stair lifts and co-owner of A & C Medical Supplies Inc., emphasizes the importance of maintaining one’s dignity as you enter your twilight years. If you’re young and healthy you may not know what a stair lift is or how it could change a person’s life. To explain, it is a lift that will enable you to move easily between floors of your home. This is a specialty item that is sold in many medical supply stores. Particularly it can be helpful for people who are rehabilitating from a hip surgery.
The lift will not pose any potential harm to anyone coming up or down the stairs. It is a win-win for all because it gives the disabled person more freedom to move throughout their home, and his housemates are free to go about their business without constantly worrying about the hazard of the stairs. With the push of a button, a Waterbury stair lift will change the way you live in your home.
How is one going to find out about a Waterbury stair lift unless advised by a medical professional? A short-term rehabilitation facility may suggest that one is installed, and you or your child can surf the Internet to learn more about in-home equipment like this.
From an environmentally friendly perspective, not only does this Waterbury stair lift company provide home medical equipment and home modifications, they also have partnered with a builder to created pre-fabricated built-in apartments. Practical Assisted Living Structures, also known as PALS, are home additions that are designed for an elderly person who wants to age in place. If there is no first floor bedroom or bathroom then a PAL is the ideal solution. According to an AARP study, for those over 50.5 years old, nearly 85% of responders said they would like to remain in their current homes for as long as possible. According to that same study, the main reason people are forced to move into a group home, skilled or assisted living facility is because of the lack of a first floor bedroom and first floor bathroom. A PALS are easily installed because they attached to the home either via stilts or the foundation, and the heating, cooling, and plumbing is connected as well. The siding will match the existing structure. With an opening into the home from the structure and a private, no-step entryway, the occupant will have the best of both worlds: privacy and accessibility.
