Many people who suffer from the medical complaint Peripheral neuropathy have described their legs as "feeling as though they are encased in cement" This medical condition along with balance issues can be dangerous! Falling down is bad but falling down a flight of stairs can be fatal.
If you have been diagnosed with the medical condition Peripheral neuropathy you may be asking yourself at which stage should you consider purchasing a chairlift. Well the sooner the better for reasons stated above.
Depending on your finacial status you may be able to claim the cost of buying a chairlift through Medicare or other health insurance cover you may have taken out to help fund buying a new stairlift.
If you reside in the UK grants are available through "Disabled Facilities Grants Scheme" Grants are available in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only. Scottish residents should contact the social services department of their local council for information on any grants that may be available.
If you have no health insurance or fail to get a grant due to failing the means testing process then another option to reduce the costs of buying a new expensive stairlift would be to consider purchasing a reconditioned stair lift.
Reconditioned stairlifts have the same quality and features as a new model but costs are well below the retail market value of a new model All stair lift suppliers offer a range of reconditioned models for sale.
Ensure the reconditioned stair lift you purchase comes with a guarantee! At least a minimum of 6 months and ideally 12 months is the normal standard.
Another alternative would be to rent a stairlift. This is the fastest and cheapest option to get you back on track and making your life more comfortable and secure. As well as being the cheapest option you have no worries about expensive breakdown charges and service maintenance contracts.
All the above should be covered in the stairlift rental package. If not shop around! There are plenty of companies to choose from all wanting your business.
Stairlifts allow you to lead a full independent life and remove the drudgery of climbing your steep staircase on a daily basis. Start to enjoy the home you have spent years creating
