Top Five Best Home Elevators

Changes in mobility can dramatically affect how you live your life, but they don’t have to force you out of your home. Installing a home elevator or stairlift can allow you to be where you love and move around the house easily. We have compiled a list of the best home elevators on the market.

Inclinator Cable Drum 500#

Number five in our list of best home elevators is the Inclinator Cable Drum 500#. Inclinator is the oldest Home Mobility Solutions company in the country and created the original design for the electric stairlift. Inclinator offers dozens of ways to customize your in-home elevator, including cab sizes, drive systems, and various cosmetic options. You can even add a telephone in your Inclinator elevator! This in-home elevator can be installed into an existing home, or it can be seamlessly added into construction plans for a new home, but either way, the Cable Drum 500# requires a shaft. The endless options to customize your Inclinator elevator make it easy to seamlessly blend the elevator into your home décor.

The Inclinator Cable Drum 500# is a perfect option for people who want a conventional elevator but don’t have enough space in their homes for one. The Cable Drum 500# has a footprint of only 12 sq ft. and features a patented monorail system that is designed to be as space efficient as possible, as well as a self-diagnostic microprocessor to let you know if any issues arise with your elevator. This system can also be installed either inside your home or in an external shaft added to the outside of your home.

Stiltz Trio Alta

Stiltz Lift by HomeLift Mobility Solutions
Stiltz Trio Alta

Our number four pick for best home elevators on the market is the Stiltz Trio Alta. This model is one of the most popular elevators that HomeLift installs, and it’s not hard to see why! The Stiltz Trio Alta looks like something off of the Star Trek Enterprise. The Trio Alta is a “shaftless” elevator, so it has a uniquely designed, self-supporting structure that uses two parallel, vertical rails that support the entire load of the lift. The elevator’s motor is contained and concealed seamlessly on top of the elevator cab, removing any need for an external machine room. This futuristic design, in conjunction with the fact that the Trio Alta does not require much electricity, keeps this elevator as one of the quietest in the market. The design for the Trio Alta allows for quick installation and an elevator that can fit almost anywhere in your home.

Stiltz Trio Alta is a great elevator for almost any home environment. It is compact, with a footprint of about 13.5 square feet, but still has enough space to accommodate a wheelchair comfortably. The modular design for the Trio Alta allows for installations that can be completed in as little as a single day, and this model can fit almost anywhere in your home. The Trio Alta also comes standard with two remote controls that can be used to operate the elevator, allowing you to call it, send it away, or even use it to help move furniture between floors.

Cibes Symmetry Inline Gear Drive

Symmetry Raised Cab Custom Elevator from HomeLift

Our number three pick for the best home elevator is the Symmetry Inline Gear Drive elevator. This elevator is unique because it does not require a machine room, which is a good option for homeowners who have limited space in their homes. While The Inline Gear Drive Elevator doesn’t come with the need for a machine room, it does include all of Symmetry’s standard “exclusive” features, such as emergency battery-operated lowering and energy-efficient LED lighting. The Cibes Symmetry Inline Gear Drive elevator provides a spacious and luxurious car for you to travel around your home in style, with the convenience of being able to install it wherever you want.

Cambridge Heritage

Cambridge Custom Elevator

The second best home elevator on the market is the Cambridge Heritage. This is one of the stealthiest home elevators on the market. With the endless ways to customize this elevator in conjunction with its near-silent hydraulic drive, this elevator is so discrete you could almost forget you even have one! The Heritage is designed to look like an intentional feature in your home, but hiding behind what may look like a closet door is actually a state-of-the-art home elevator.

The most interesting feature that comes included with the Heritage Cambridge elevator is its Remote Monitoring System. This unique feature monitors the functionality of your elevator system and alerts both you and HomeLift to any issue that your elevator may have. This makes it much easier to stay on top of preventative maintenance and, in the long run, can save you thousands of dollars in repair costs down the road.

Cibes Symmetry Hydraulic

Coming in at our number one spot for best home elevators is the Cibes Symmetry Hydraulic Elevator. Symmetry boasts that their elevators are “the most customizable on the market,” and as far as we can tell, it’s true! Symmetry allows you to customize everything from the panel styles to the operation panels and even the metals used in the handrails. The Symmetry Hydraulic elevator offers a wonderful balance of quality, safety, and quiet operation. They also come equipped with emergency, battery-operated lowering, and they can accommodate up to six stops within fifty feet of travel. They are equipped to handle up to one thousand pounds. These elevators offer a three-year warranty for parts, travel at 40 feet per minute, and have a carrying capacity of 1000 lbs.

Cambridge Commercial or Residential Elevator from HomeLift
Symmetry Hydraulic

We have decided to rank the Symmetry Hydraulic at number one and the Symmetry Inline at number three on our list for a couple of reasons. While the Inline is very space-efficient, its Hydraulic counterpart is substantially quieter. For those who are sensitive to background noise, having the hydraulic drive can make owning a home elevator a more pleasant experience. They are priced similarly, which makes the hydraulic elevator the more favorable choice if all other factors are the same.

Home elevators can be an elegant solution to the challenges that come with impaired mobility. Choosing the right elevator can make navigating your home an enjoyable, luxurious experience. If you’re interested in installing any of these elevators in your own home, or if you have questions on what would be the right elevator for you, give us a call, and one of our team members will be delighted to help you.

Five Tips to Help with Positive Aging

The past year and a half have been difficult and unpredictable. Between the pandemic, economic issues, and intense weather, it has made everyone more appreciative of the things they have and the things that are within their own sphere of influence. Getting older is often something that makes people feel uneasy, but did you know most aspects of the aging process are well within a senior’s control? You or the special senior in your life can make it a priority to achieve healthy aging despite living with ailments and other age-related issues.

Getting older might not be something we all look forward to, but aging is a reality we all must face one day. Many aging experts express it is very important how you look at the passing of your years. Honing in on the best aspects of your life has a lot to do with your happiness and health later in life. By understanding and practicing positive aging, it can really assist older adults to enjoy their golden years. Check out our 5 tips seniors can use for positive aging.   

What is Positive Aging?   

Aging is inevitable. A positive attitude is believed to help protect us against the common stressors and negative experiences that occur with age. We all know this to be true, but as you continue reading, you will learn how people apply these tips to adjust to their aging process. 

1. Find a Purpose

One possibility to encourage positive aging is allowing your elders to have something to look forward to each day. Encourage your loved one to find his or her purpose. Whether that is starting a company, achieving a specific weight goal, or joining an organization to work on causes that are dear to their heart. By focusing on significant goals it can provide a purpose and structure that encourages you or your elderly loved ones to keep pushing forward. 

2. Learn a New Skill

Positive aging also pertains to intellectual activity. Regardless of you or your loved one’s age, people can always continue to learn new things. Ultimately, pushing themselves out of their comfort zone could boost brain cell growth and keep the mind stimulated. Try to suggest meaningful tasks to work on, such as taking a foreign language class or learning how to be more proficient with technology. Learning a new craft is a stimulating and fulfilling way to spend one’s time as well.

3. Use Positive Affirmations

Did you know mornings are the most crucial time of day to work on creating a positive attitude because it can set the tone for the entire day? If you or your loved one make it a goal to up early, it can better prepare you for your day. When you start your day with gratitude, you have wired your brain to notice the good in your life. Negative thoughts could turn into stressful situations and prevent healthy aging. Reflecting on the things you like about yourself and your life and saying them out loud regularly can improve your self-image and keep you focused on the best parts of your life.

4. Stay Active  

Not only does staying active provide you with physical health benefits, but also the mental health aspect of exercising is nearly endless. Try to incorporate some form of exercise at least three days per week. This can increase the production of endorphins in the body, which acts as a stress reliever and leaves you feeling happy and satisfied. Any exercise that allows seniors to move naturally is typically the best exercise for healthy aging. There are also plenty of senior exercise groups that can provide social activity as well.

5. Help Others  

The recent events of COVID-19 have limited our ability to contribute to our community and help those in need, but there are plenty of volunteer and action opportunities, both virtual and in-person. Volunteering and showing random acts of kindness can contribute to positive aging. Providing wisdom, working with others, or offering financial aid may help you or your loved ones enhance mental and emotional well-being. Compassion and human connection increase happiness in the golden years.

Aging is an inescapable part of life, so you might as well make the most of it and live as joyfully as possible in your golden years. If you have mobility issues, let HomeLift help you with aging positively by giving you the tools to live independently and remain in the home you love.

In a world that moves fast and changes quickly, ensuring your home evolves alongside your needs is crucial. Whether it’s due to aging, mobility challenges, or the simple desire to make your living space more comfortable and accessible, adapting your home to meet these demands can significantly enhance your quality of life. That’s where stairlifts, wheelchair lifts, and home elevators come into play, offering solutions that allow you to enjoy life on every level of your home.

Stairlifts: Effortless Ascent and Descent

For many, stairs can become a daunting obstacle, especially as mobility decreases with age or due to health issues. Stairlifts offer a simple, safe, and efficient way to navigate between floors without the physical strain or risk of falls. With a range of designs that can accommodate straight or curved staircases, stairlifts ensure that every corner of your home remains accessible. The installation is swift and unobtrusive, preserving the aesthetic and functional integrity of your living space while providing the freedom to move effortlessly from one level to another.

Wheelchair Lifts: Breaking Barriers

Wheelchair lifts are a game-changer for wheelchair users, eliminating the barriers posed by stairs and elevated entrances. These lifts provide a smooth transition between different levels of your home or outdoors, ensuring that every area is reachable. With options for both indoor and outdoor use, wheelchair lifts can be customized to fit various spaces and architectural styles, making inclusivity a seamless part of your home’s design.

Home Elevators: Luxury Meets Accessibility

Home elevators represent the pinnacle of convenience and accessibility, offering an elegant solution that enhances your home’s functionality and value. Beyond their practicality for those with mobility challenges, home elevators are also a luxurious addition for any residence, facilitating the transport of people, laundry, or heavy items with ease. Modern home elevators come in a variety of styles and can be tailored to complement your home’s interior, making them a perfect blend of utility and sophistication.

Empowering Independence

The core benefit of stairlifts, wheelchair lifts, and home elevators lies in their ability to empower independence. They provide the freedom to navigate your home on your terms, ensuring that mobility challenges do not dictate the extent of your comfort and accessibility. These solutions offer peace of mind not just for users but also for their families, knowing that safety and independence are well-maintained.

Tailored Solutions for Every Home

Understanding that every home and every need is unique, we pride ourselves on offering tailored solutions that align with your specific requirements. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing personalized consultations, ensuring that the option you choose fits perfectly with your lifestyle and your home’s architecture.

How Seniors can Stay Connected During Covid

Just when we thought things were going back to normal, Omicron and other Covid-19 variants have come along and forced us to again weigh safety against staying connected to our families. For Seniors, risking infection can have potentially dire consequences but becoming isolated in one’s home carries its own set of risks. Studies show that loneliness and social isolation are associated with higher risks for health problems such as heart disease, depression, and cognitive decline. Thankfully, we live in a time where there are many no-contact options for communication. Below are our top tips for staying connected to seniors during Covid-19.

Learn New Technology

FaceTime, Zoom, Skype, Facebook, and Marco Polo offer free video chat options for communicating with friends and family. You don’t have to be tech-savvy! Using the essential functions is easy and if setting up an account seems daunting, ask a family member or neighbor for help. If that’s not an option, YouTube has easy-to-follow tutorials for just about everything.

Engage with your Community from Home

Feeling like you’ve lost track of what’s going on in your town can make you feel more isolated than ever. Many local organizations such as political groups, church groups, charities, social clubs, etc., rely on volunteers to make phone calls and offer ways to participate that don’t involve meeting in person. Groups that used to meet in person now often offer digital meetings via Zoom or hybrid sessions with some participants in person and some on Zoom.

Use the Buddy System

The CDC recommends that communities create buddy systems to make sure that vulnerable and hard-to-reach people stay connected. If you have a friend or family member that you know is struggling with isolation, make a regular phone or video chat date. You can even have several! We’re all in these challenging times together, and most of us would benefit from more time spent connecting with others, so never be shy to ask.

Start a New Activity

Ever wanted to play guitar or sew a quilt? Any new activity you want to start during Covid can help you stay connected without having to meet anyone in person. There are Zoom lessons for everything right now, and they’re affordable and easy to find. You can even find a friend to start the activity simultaneously, so you have someone you’re already familiar with to talk to about it.

Get Outside

Parks and hiking trails offer a beautiful place to break the monotony of staying home all the time. If you take appropriate precautions, you can even meet friends or family there and catch up. Getting outside and walking is one of the best exercises for seniors, mentally and physically, and can help you stay mobile and independent. If you find walking boring, audiobooks and podcasts can keep you company. Many local libraries allow you to check out audiobooks for free right from your phone.

Social distancing does not have to mean social isolation. Our tips for how seniors can stay connected during covid can help us all stay healthy and strong. With a bit of effort and flexibility, it is possible to stay connected to our loved ones, deepen connections, and thrive. If improving your mobility inside your home would improve your daily life while we’re all spending more time at home, get in touch with one of our aging-in-place experts to find the right mobility solution for your home.
