4) Can you rent a stair lift for an extended period of time?

Due to individual situation you could be facing, you might need to rent a stairlift instead of purchase one.

Maybe you will have company for a length period of time that will reap the benefits of its use, maybe you rent your house, or someone in your household has had surgery or an injury and needs it briefly. Occasionally, determined by the medical condition, you simply can't be sure how long you'll want the stairlift and renting seems like the best option on a month-to-month basis. Rental programs often offer a minimum of 3 months and typically include the setup and de-installation in the rental package. Some Montana firms even offer lease to own applications. Nonetheless, it's important to consider the price of installation and de-installation before picking this option instead of purchasing a stairlift that is used.

A Billings professional also knows the way to make sure that the stairlift follows fire exit demands, how to make sure the charger connections are operating correctly to avoid serious injuries, and assure that all the proper operating characteristics are enabled. The price you pay to truly have a trained and trustworthy technician ensures your safety as well as the longevity of your purchase. Repairs and re installations can take longer and cost more than a proper first setup. Additionally, installment involves lifting a good quantity of weight. Many installations can be finished in a few hours by a professional.

6) Can these lifts be used on wood flooring?

Lifts can be installed on all forms of flooring (carpeting, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairs). When the stairlift is removed, holes will probably be clear without carpeting. But, the holes are small and may be filled. Stairlifts can also be installed on wooden outside steps. In reality, most professionally installed stairlifts in Billings cost between $500 and $1,000 for the labour given a variety of variables based on the problem of the job.

Medicaid in your state may cover stairlifts through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers. In Montana, individuals with limited financial resources might qualify for the Montana Medicaid COPES Waiver, recently replaced by the Community First Choice Alternative. It empowers individuals who require nursing home level attention to receive that attention at home and supports independent living, including coverage for home modifications. Family members may be compensated for providing caregiving help. It's best to review insurance policies that are different. Some private health or long-term care insurance can help pay for limited home modifications. Check with your Billings insurance carrier to review policy options.

8) Does it increase or decrease the value of my home?

The total worth of your home won't depreciate. In case you plan on selling your Billings residence, realtors used to recommend that a stairlift be removed prior to putting your house on the Montana marketplace, yet given increased life expectancy, this isn't any longer the case. You may even totally remove the stairlift with no signs of installation when you desire or no longer want it or go. Realtors can list that the home is appropriate for reachable independent living and that the stairlift is a high utility value for disabled people and when a purchaser needs it removed, then that possibility is offered by them.
