[quote=Anonymous]I am a huge home elevator fan. My mom has had one in her house for 55 years and it is incredibly reliable with a tweak about once a decade. If you have space in your house to fit one, it's much better than a stairlift because you don't have the separate problem of transporting equipment (walker, wheelchair) to the other floor. And once you have one available for moving heavy objects or elderly dogs, you won't look back. ;-) I can't tell you how many elderly friends and now increasingly friends my age (50s-60s) faced with sudden disability have had to make a move in a hurry. The elevator solves that problem. Mom's is serviced by Preferred Elevator, Baltimore-based but works in DC all the time. Very nice people and they will evaluate the options for your house.[/quote]
