Testimonial
“I am 70 years of ages living in Avenal and I stopped working 5 years ago. Twenty five years ago, I built my house, and also I live in a neighborhood that is between good friends and loved ones. A couple of years back, I was diagnosed with arthritis and began struggling with leg pain, which made it considerably tough to maneuver the staircases in my house. A year back, I had a slip and struggled with a dislocated hip, which made climbing up and down the stairs much more hard.
My friends suggested me to transfer to a house that does not have staircases, and yet I really wanted to live in the home that I built and shared a lot of precious memories with my late partner and children, and really did not feel a need to relocate, when my doctor suggested that I put up a stair lift in my house.
I had a stair lift put in and I can not just stop saying how fantastic it is. I can now simply just rest on the stair lift and move up and down the staircases in my house just how many ever times I would like. I am very pleased that I can move around my home independently with no discomfort.”
