Sorry I could not work out how to start a new thread... I am looking for peoples experiences with stair lifts or through floor lifts. We were advised by OT to have a thru floor lift and understand the reasons why...but we really dont want all the disruption etc...Are we THAT crazy to opt for a simple stair lift. We have looked at the better suited models where the chair turns at the top and you can transfer sideways. We have bathrooms upstairs and down, so would only need to up and down once per day, and there would be no problem to stay upstairs some days..can make a small lounge upstairs. I do not want to sleep downstairs and loose all my upstairs to this disease. BUT are we being too silly to not go down the line of thru floor lift. we accept and are prepared to pay for help for my husband with the lifting etc. I really value other peoples perspective on this...I am still just mobile enough to use my stairs, but these things have to be organised some way ahead of the time I will need it... jennifer51
