During this pandemic, health professionals are encouraging everyone to be safe and stay home. However, one’s home cannot feel or be safe if it is not accessible.
The Government of Canada has found that slips and falls are the leading cause of injury among seniors in Canada, and 50 per cent of all falls occur at home.
An area of particular concern for these accidents is often the staircase—but there is a solution.
Home stairlifts are a key accessibility device to assist people in remaining safe in their homes. Almost all staircases–whether they are straight or curved, indoor or outdoor–can accommodate a stairlift, which offers a simple and effective way for family members to get up and down the stairs safely.
With 30 years of experience as an independent dealer of Mobility and Home Medical Equipment in B.C., HealthLinc Medical Equipment Ltd. (HME) understands the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals in their own homes. The team offers expert guidance, superior service, industry-leading products and competitive pricing. They are available to help simplify the decision-making process and give you the peace of mind that you’re looking for, so you can enjoy all the benefits of living in the comfort of your own home.

Recent customer Sandra M. says, “we are very happy with our stair lift…HME was helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I'm glad we went with HME and I can now stay in my home.”
