Stairlift For Handicapped
Stannah stairlifts are designed to be as safe and accessible as possible. At Stannah Mountain West Stairlifts, we have a wide range of models with unique ergonomic features, but whether a stairlift for handicapped Mountain West will work for you depends on your physical disability (temporary or permanent) and needs.
You want to be comfortable in your home, live a more independent life, enjoy greater freedom of movement with more peace of mind, and that includes being able to use your stairs safely so that you can have full accessibility to all rooms in your house, whether upstairs or downstairs. A Stannah stairlift could help you do just that. Get in touch with us and let’s see if a stairlift is the right choice for you.
Stairlifts for People with a Disability
It is worth considering purchasing and installing a stairlift so that you’re limited to one floor of your house. Keep in mind that you do need some mobility to use a stairlift. If you can get yourself into the chair, and hold yourself upright while you are sitting down, a stairlift could be a great solution for you.
The Sadler is a good example of a stairlift for handicapped Mountain West, designed specifically for persons with reduced mobility. Sometimes, this type of model is known as a “perch stairlift” because of its half-seated, near-standing position, which gives lumbar support and takes the strain off your hips and knees. It’s also equipped with an easy-to-use ergonomic seatbelt, that is conveniently positioned on the armrest, and can be fastened and unfastened using only one hand.
However, a stairlift might not be the right choice for you if you do not have the mobility to get in and out of the chair safely. Our knowledgeable technicians and customer representatives can give you advice about stairlifts, but they can also suggest the right device for you if a stairlift is not a good fit.

Is There A Handicap Stairlift For People Who Use A Wheelchair?
Most wheelchair users can also use a stairlift, but you need to be able to get in and out of your wheelchair, and in and out of your stairlift on your own to use your stairlift independently. Moreover, a stairlift can’t carry a wheelchair, so you may need to have another one waiting for you at the other end of the stairs.
You also need to be able to hold yourself upright as you travel on your stairlift, so that you are securely in the chair to the other end.
If you are not sure if a stairlift is a right option for you, visit our showroom to see our models for yourself. You can even test our handicap stairlifts out and decide which chair best meets your needs and budget.
What Makes a Stannah Stairlift Safe and Easy to Use?
This is a very important question, but it means different things to different people. That is why we have made sure our stairlifts meet the highest international safety standards. That way, we are certain that our stairlifts will meet everyone’s safety expectations.
An Easy-To-Use Seatbelt
As one of the main safety features, all our stairlifts are equipped with an easy-to-use seatbelt to guarantee high safety. It is easy to use because:
- it clips in easily first time
- you can fasten it using only one hand
- it has a big buckle, which makes it easy to hold, even for arthritic fingers
- the seatbelt is placed on the armrests so that you can grab it easily without having to reach behind you, and
- the seatbelt can be fitted to either side of the chair, which means we can adapt the belt to your needs if one of your hands is stronger than the other.
Simple Commands
All you need to do to make a stairlift for handicapped Mountain West move is to press a lever in the direction you want to go in. There is an intuitive and comfortable lever on each armrest. Two levers mean you can use either wrist or hand, whichever is most comfortable for you.
Easy Access
Your stairlift unfolds easily. The footrest flips down automatically when you flip the armrests down. That means no help need to set up the chair and no bending over at the top of the stairs. The armrests are sturdy, so you feel safe leaning on them while getting in and out of your chair.
If you want even more stability, the Siena comes with longer armrests that will give you even more added support.
Power Swivel
Power swivel is an optional feature if you want added security of the chair turning at the top of your stairs. It turns smoothly to place you squarely on your landing, meaning you can get out of the chair with the added security of the chair blocking the stairs behind you.
If you have limited mobility on one side of your body due to a stroke, this option could provide extra peace of mind knowing you can get in and out of your chair safely.
Painted Controls for The Visually Impaired
You may find it difficult to see the buttons and controls of your stairlift if you’re visually impaired. To make things a bit easier, our stairlifts for the handicapped come with buttons and controls painted with a bright color, making them easier to spot and your stairlift much easier to use.
Can I Rent A Handicap Stairlift?
Yes, you can rent a stairlift for handicapped Mountain West directly from Stannah, but this option might not be available depending on your local dealer. Typically, we offer short-term rentals (less than a year) that come with an option to buy at the end of the rental period. However, availability and pricing depend on the stairlift option you choose and your local dealer.
Does Medicaid Cover Handicap Stairlifts?
Medicaid programs do cover the stairlift costs in some cases. However, this varies from one state to another and depends on the nature of the program and the home modification. Moreover, unlike Medicare or private insurance, Medicaid could potentially pay for your stairlift.
