You may hear about home elevators and assume such an elevator is not feasible for your home or that those things are only for “rich people”.

Don’t make those assumptions without educating yourself on what your choices really are. You may discover a chair lift or residential elevator would be perfect for your home.

First off, it can help you regain freedom. If you are deciding between a stair lift and a home elevator, determine your real needs.

However, some home elevators may have a cab that can accommodate a wheelchair. And the cost of the home elevator might be less than you think.

It’s all about having options.
