Trio Retrofit

When Jon became unable to work due to multiple sclerosis three years ago, he and his wife were adamant that they did not want to move house because of his illness. The couple had a stairlift installed but soon discovered the impracticalities of it as Jon, 49, was unable to use it unaided.

Now having invested in the Stiltz Trio Lift, Jon's wife says it has “changed their lives” and given her husband his independence back. It has also relieved her of the stress of helping him on and off the stairlift with no risk of Jon falling and injuring himself.

Initially when Jon's wife looked into the possibility of having a home lift installed in their living room, she was told that it would be not be possible by two separate lift companies. However, Stiltz Lifts were able meet their requirements without any problems.

Jon's wife, 46, said, “My husband Jon has been unable to walk since 2010. We did not want to have to move from our home or have to sleep downstairs.

“We already had a stairlift and as Jon cannot independently transfer, someone always had to be with him. I searched on Google and found Stiltz using ‘domestic lift’. We found that Stiltz were passionate about what they do and had an amazing product. The Trio lift is a beautiful piece of design that does not make your home look like an institution. The lift goes from the living room into our bedroom.

“It also relieved the physical stress on me as I do not have to do transfers any more. It is also safer than a stairlift as there is no risk of falls.

“Stiltz are really nice people that you can believe in and trust. I am really glad that we found them as it has changed our lives and I would recommend them without hesitation.”
