Home Elevators
We expect to find elevators in multi-level commercial buildings, and they are crucial to public accessibility for
those who cannot climb stairs or are restricted to a wheelchair. We do not often see them in individual
residential homes, for a number of reasons. Few homes are created with handicapped accessibility as a design specification,
and cost can be a significant deterant when considering the installation of a home elevator. However, technology continues
to make home elevators safer and more affordable as an option when planning the new
construction of an accessible home or retrofitting an existing multi-level residence. Be sure to
thoroughly research the options that are on the market, including the use of stair lifts as an alternative.
