My sister and I have decided to get my Mum a stair lift as the council will not be able to fit one till a assessment is done which would more than likely be next year now and goodness knows when a stair lift would be fitted after that. This way she will have her Brooks stair lift next week and at the end of the day it's my Mum and Dad's, although I did phone to see if anyone rented these and I was shocked when I phoned Stannah Stairlifts to inquire about renting one, they wanted £1095 upfront
and £77.00 monthly to rent it. So I phoned around and got The Brooks Lincoln Straight Stairlift with added extras that my Dad wanted for £1700. I personally think £850 each is well worth the peace of mind this will offer not to mention the help and confidence it should give our Mother when going up the stairs.
