As you age, getting around your home can become more difficult. We understand that you (or mom or dad) want to continue aging in place and live at home for as long as possible. That’s why Yorhom Medical has made it a priority to offer all different types of solutions to make navigating the home easy and safe with aging!
Add a Stair Lift
Adding a stair lift to a home allows endless access to all areas of the house. You have an option to safely go to different levels so you can remain independent in your own home! There are different options for any need such as a residential stair lift, curved stair lift or outdoor stair lift. We offer FREE in-home assessments so contact us today!
Utilize Different Aids
There are plenty of aids to daily living you can get to make your home safer and allow certain daily tasks to become easier. Whether it’s a shoehorn to help shoes go on or a button hook for shirt buttons, there are numerous options available.
Get Mobility Help
Different mobility aids can allow for extra stability when navigating the home. Scooters, canes, walkers and rollators all allow a solution based on different needs. For example, this Basic Rollator Walker comes in different colors, has a seat, can have multiple accessories and folds for easy storage!
Use an Elevator/Lift
For more advanced accessibility, an elevator or lift may be what you’re looking for. Bypass stairs safely to access other areas indoors or out. A Vertical Platform Lift is the perfect solution for any difficult pathway, porch or other raised entryway.
Don’t Forget Outdoors
We want to remember accessibility outdoors as well! Utilize many of the above options or get a power scooter. A power scooter can come in all different shapes, sizes and colors. Find what one best suits your needs. You can also think of getting from place to place in a vehicle with the help of vehicle modifications.
Include Ramps
One last element to add could be a ramp – this can help indoors and outdoors. Ramps allow access into the home or can be used for smaller purposes like just getting through a door threshold or the suitcase ramp, for example, offers help for a few stairs or getting a device into a vehicle.
We hope you found this blog helpful and know what different solutions your home needs to allow for access to all areas while remaining safe! Contact us if you are looking for additional solutions – we're here to help.

The best part of your blog for me is when you said that you can enjoy endless access to all areas of your house when you add a stair lift. This is something that I will share with my mother so she can consider having one installed for my father. He suffered from a stroke last week that caused his ability to walk to get affected. https://www.couleeregionmobility.com/stair-lifts/

The statement that adding a stair lift would allow you to have unrestricted access to all sections of your home is the nicest part of your piece, in my opinion. I'll let my mum know about this so she can think about getting one put for my dad. He had a stroke last week, which had an impact on his capacity to walk. Thanks for this! http://stairliftstore.com/stairlift-chairlifts/

I thought you made a good point when you explained that installing a stair lift in your home provides endless access. My mother has to use a wheelchair for the next year while she recovers from knee surgery. My mother's laundry appliances are on the second floor of her home, so she should get a stair lift so that she can use her laundry appliances. https://www.lincolnmobility.com/products/stair-lifts/
