Getting older is part of life, but many folks don’t think of that when they purchase a home with multiple floors! Seniors who have staircases as part of their houses may prefer to remain in their homes as they age, which is an understandable impulse. However, many seniors also experience mobility issues as they get older, making it more difficult or impossible for them to ascend a staircase and get to several important rooms in the home, like the bedroom. A stairlift could be an excellent solution to this problem. Stairlifts are motorized seats that are attached to the staircase treads of a stairwell to rise automatically to the top or back down as needed. Riders can take a seat, press a button, and ascend the stairs without having to risk injury from a fall or pain for their mobility issues. However, stairlifts can be quite expensive, so many ask if Medicare will pay for stairlifts. Let’s dive deep into this question and see which plans offer opportunities for coverage and which do not.
