Stay safe in comfortabl­e style

-

AS THE seasons change, thoughts turn to the months ahead, when we are sure to be spending more time than usual at home.

Ensuring it is as comfortabl­e as possible will help make life easier when winter chills start to bite — and now’s the best time to get any adaptation work done.

With lockdown easing in most areas, mobility companies are most definitely back in business — with a full range of protocols to protect their customers.

From consultati­ons by phone to meetings in the garden, plus installati­on procedures to minimise contact, you can rest assured that your safety will be put first.

Anyone who has spent lockdown struggling with hip pain or breathless­ness that has made it hard to climb the stairs may well be more than ready to consider a stairlift.

And the advice is, don’t delay, do it today, before the colder weather sets in.

Having a stairlift installed can be a life-changing moment — and a good stairlift company will supply a range of design options, even down to a tasteful seat cover. A home lift is a stylish and versatile alternativ­e (see far right).

Finding the bath more of a challenge? Getting a walk-in shower installed is another good move to safeguard against falls. What’s more, fitting can often be done in a day or two, minimising upheaval.

And few luxuries can beat a comfortabl­e riser recliner chair that is tailored to fit you well.

Snuggled down feeling fully supported and with your feet up, TV viewing becomes a whole new experience. Get prepared for winter now — and take staying safe to a whole new level.

But all that has changed since they had a home lift installed. ‘I can go to bed or have a bath when I like. Now I can carry out normal tasks like taking washing upstairs. the kids use the homelift to move the vacuum, we fill it with presents on their birthdays and our dog Bailey loves it! I can now do the “normal” things anyone would do with their family.’
