Making your home more accessible to disabled and elderly members of your family can provide a number of important benefits, including increased independence and enhanced self-confidence. Installing porch elevator lifts, ramps and other mobility equipment for the exterior of your home can provide valuable assistance for caregivers and family members in negotiating areas otherwise accessible by stairs.

Most people think of ramps as the typical solution for exiting a home. Vertical Platform Lifts (VPLs) are less well known. The benefit of a VPL is that they take less space than ramps and are often less expensive. Here are four key advantages of porch lift installations for your family residence:

Four Key Benefits of Porch Lifts for Family Home

1. Increased Mobility and Greater Independence

Older adults living alone or with family members or caregivers can manage transportation issues more effectively and can enjoy the freedom to visit their own front and back yards without help. Porch elevator lifts and level pathways can even allow wheelchair-bound individuals to navigate their gardens and enjoy outdoor time on their own. This can increase the environments and activities available to elderly and disabled people in their own homes or when sharing space with other family members.

2. Added Convenience for Caregivers and Family Members

Porch lifts can lessen the strain on older joints and bones by removing the obstacle of stairs on the way inside. By using a lift rather than trying to navigate stairs, older adults can often manage with little or no help and can even provide assistance in carrying groceries and other items into the home. This can significantly reduce the workload of those entrusted with the care of these individuals on a regular basis.

3. Greater Safety in the Residential Setting

Ramps and porch lift installations can provide more secure footing and reduced fatigue for elderly individuals. Stairs can take a real toll on aging hips and may contribute to stress fractures and other common issues associated with excessive activity. This can reduce the likelihood of injuries to prevent extended hospital stays or painful recoveries for these beloved family members.

4. Porch Lifts Increase The Resale Value of Homes

As America’s population continues to age, more families will require mobility solutions for aging parents and grandparents. This will increase demand for homes that incorporate exterior elevator lifts and other modifications that improve access for these individuals. By investing in solid, durable lifts, ramps and handrails, homeowners can make an investment that can pay off in increased interest and higher offers at the time of eventual sale.

Companies like Access Elevator can install attractive and reliable mobility equipment that complements your existing landscaping and décor. These access solutions can provide real help for older family members and can allow caregivers to enjoy added convenience in maintaining their busy schedules.

Consider Porch Lifts for Better Outside Access

With the weather warming up for spring, it is the perfect time to consider porch lifts for better outside access. In other words, for handicap access to any indoor or outdoor porch or deck with stairs, or an uneven elevation.

Porch lifts are designed to take a wheelchair and its passenger up or down a set of stairs, creating access without the need for a spacious ramp. Some porch lifts utilize the staircase already in place, and some move straight up and down from one level to the other.

No matter the configuration of the home, there are lift options available that do not require major modifications to the staircase or the structure of your deck or porch. These lifts are also available in a variety of styles, colors and finishes, so that they will blend in with the home’s décor.

Why Choose a Platform Lift from Access?

What makes a platform lift the right choice over a stair lift or elevator?
Platform lifts are ideal for individuals who use wheelchairs or scooters and need to travel safely between levels without transferring out of their mobility device. They’re often more affordable and require less structural modification than elevators, making them a practical solution for both residential and commercial use.
What’s the difference between an inclined and vertical platform lift?
An Inclined Platform Lift travels along the stairs, making it perfect for buildings where space is limited or where an elevator isn’t feasible. A Vertical Platform Lift moves straight up and down, like a mini elevator, and is great for accessing porches, decks, or different floors with a simple vertical rise.
Are Access platform lifts ADA compliant and safe?
Yes. All platform lifts installed by Access Elevator meet or exceed ADA requirements (when applicable), and are equipped with safety features such as non-slip platforms, guardrails, emergency stop buttons, and backup power systems to ensure safe, reliable operation.
Can I customize a platform lift to fit my space or needs?
Absolutely. Our team works with you to design and install a lift that fits your specific needs and architectural layout. We offer a variety of models, platform sizes, weight capacities, and finishes to ensure the lift is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Why should I choose Access Elevator for my platform lift installation?
