Testimonial
“I am 70 years old living in Mill Valley and I stopped working 5 years ago. Twenty five years earlier, I constructed my property, and I live in an area that is between good friends and family. A couple of years back, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and started dealing with leg pain, that made it very challenging to use the staircases in my house. A year back, I had a tumble and had to deal with a dislocated hip, that caused going up and down the stairs all the more hard.
My relatives encouraged me to transfer to a place that doesn’t contain stairs, and yet I wanted to stay in the house that I built and shared many beloved memories with my late wife and kids, and really did not feel a need to relocate, when my doctor suggested that I install a stair lift in my house.
I had a stair lift installed and I can’t just stop mentioning how remarkable it is. I can now simply just rest on the stair lift and go up and down the staircases in my house how many ever times I would like. I am very happy that I am able to go around my home independently with no inconvenience.”
