I am constantly amazed (and saddened) at how many people entering their “Golden Years” just assume that they’ll no longer be able to manage the multi-story house they’ve raised their family in and that they’ll have to move to a single story home. As an “access” professional at Advent Home & Access in New Hampshire, I spend a lot of my time educating people on the alternatives available to them, such as a residential elevator, stairlift or platform lift for wheelchair use. Invariably, the cost/benefit ratio of retrofitting their existing home with a simple piece of access equipment far outweighs the emotional and financial stresses of moving. The response is usually relief and often tears as they realize that they can continue to enjoy the comfort and familiarity of their existing home. I go home happy at the end of every day knowing that I helped someone keep the home they love!
