Today is World Arthritis Day which provides a platform to raise awareness about arthritis, a condition affecting millions of people worldwide.
Arthritis, characterised by joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness, can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. One aspect of managing arthritis is making home adaptations to improve mobility and ensure a comfortable living environment.
Arthritis encompasses a group of more than 100 types of joint-related diseases, the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions often lead to joint pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion.
Mobility challenges are a hallmark of arthritis, making it difficult for individuals to move freely, engage in daily activities, and maintain their independence.
The effects of arthritis on mobility can vary, but common challenges include:
Home adaptations play a crucial role in enabling individuals with arthritis to live independently and comfortably. These changes to the home can create an environment that accommodates mobility challenges and minimise the risk of accidents.
One significant adaptation is the installation of a home lift, which can offer several advantages:
World Arthritis Day serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those living with arthritis and the importance of enhancing their quality of life. Home adaptations like home lifts are transformative tools that significantly improve mobility, safety, and overall well-being for individuals with arthritis.
By promoting awareness of these solutions on World Arthritis Day and throughout the year, we can empower individuals with arthritis to take steps toward a more independent, comfortable, and mobile lifestyle. Investing in home adaptations, including domestic lifts, is a tangible way to demonstrate support for those living with arthritis, enabling them to move forward with confidence and dignity in their daily lives.
Easy to arrange lots of information, No problems with fitting, payment taken in stages, last payment when job was completed. Everyone was friendly from start to finish.
My experience with Stiltz Homelifts. Just over a month ago, I had my Stiltz lift installed and I am so pleased with it. The workmen that came and fitted it were very professional and knew what they were doing. They were so professional I would not hesitate to recommend Stiltz lifts to anybody.
Great looking product, knowledgeable sales people, fitters work clean quickly and polite. Definitely recommend.
Great stylist lift, had for six months without a hitch. Installed by company staff not subcontractors. Cannot fault the lift, buying experience, installation, service. Good company ethos and made in UK.
From the very beginning with the initial construction to the finished product. I have never seen such polite men with an equal work ethic. They cleaned as they went each day. The pets were never in harm. The finished product is awesome. Couldn’t be more pleased
Excellent from beginning to end – and beyond.
Everybody we dealt with at Stiltz was very helpful and efficient, from the initial meeting with Nick Sale, the sales rep, thorough technical inspection, the builders, installers, plumber, electrician, and excellent follow up service and attention. My husband’s life is transformed and mine is much easier. Thank you Stiltz.
Elegant lift, promptly installed by careful and tidy fitters who removed their rubbish the following day. A fair price and an envied addition to our home.
I have been astounded and gratified by the levels of service we have received from every member of the Stiltz teams we have dealt with. A superb lift with exceptional service!
An excellent company from the first contact to the completed project. All personnel were friendly and very polite but stayed extremely professional throughout. Having been in the construction industry for over 40 years I was aware the preparation work was carried out to a high standard by the best of trades people. The lift itself can not be faulted both the operation and aesthetics.
The service was better than 1st class. It was excellent in every way. We could not be more pleased with everything Stiltz applied it’s self to in any way. We would award 6 stars at the very least.
Home lifts are a modern alternative to stairlifts, offering reliability, speed, capacity, and seamless aesthetic integration for a stylish and efficient solution.
