If you, like many Canadians, are eager to stay in your current home as long as possible, you’ve likely spent some time evaluating your current space and wondering how you can make it as age-in-place friendly as possible.
While modern homes tend to incorporate more accessible design features and layout, those in older houses may face challenges when addressing mobility issues that can arise from using the stairs later on in life. The good news is that overcoming the difficulty of stairs and inter-floor navigation doesn’t have to be as complicated or expensive as you might think!
RAM Elevators + Lifts is proud to design and manufacture affordable home elevators that give our customers industry-leading results in safety, performance, and style. We believe that everyone deserves the ability to navigate their home comfortably and safely, and we understand just how much of a difference elevators can make in maintaining personal freedom. Below, we’ll talk about a few of the top reasons installing a home elevator is often cheaper than you might think. Read on to learn more!
Why More Homeowners Are Considering Elevators
In previous decades, home elevators were seen as a luxury reserved for high-end homes and multi-million-dollar mansions. While there’s no denying that elevators enhance your home, these days, they’re viewed more as a practical upgrade that helps homeowners meet their real-life, daily needs.
More and more families across Canada and North America are installing home elevators to:
- Support aging in place
- Help with mobility challenges after injury or surgery
- Accommodate multi-generational households
- Future-proof their homes with accessible design
The true luxury of a home elevator isn’t about status symbols; it’s about the freedom and quality of life it affords you within your home.
Affordable Peace of Mind
When people first hear the concept of an affordable home elevator, they can often be surprised, given the misconception we’ve mentioned above. Installing an elevator is an investment, but thanks to RAM Elevator + Lifts’ RAM Advantage, we’re able to provide exceptional service at a cost that many find far more approachable than they expected.
Installing an elevator is a great way to reduce long term spend as well, especially when you compare to key costs like:
- Moving to a new single-level home
- Major renovations to eliminate stairs
- The rising cost of assisted living
