Testimonial
“I am 70 years of ages living in Wasco and I retired 5 years ago. 25 years earlier, I built my property, and I reside in a town that is surrounded by friends and relatives. A couple of years following, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and began having to deal with knee discomfort, which made it very tough to navigate the staircases in my home. A year ago, I had a slip and had to deal with a dislocated hip, that caused moving up and down the stairs even more complicated.
My close friends urged me to move to a home that doesn’t include staircases, but I preferred to live in the house that I built and shared a lot of beloved memories with my late partner and kids, and really did not want to relocate, when my medical professional advised that I put up a stair lift in my home.
I had a stair lift put up and I can not just stop saying just how wonderful it is. I am able to now just rest on the stair lift and move up and down the stairs in my house how many ever times I desire. I am so happy that I can move around my home independently without any inconvenience.”
