How do I go about getting a chair lift in my parents house?

looking for help financially to get on installed

Some local organizations will help with a ramp, but I have not found any that install chair lifts. I did have one lady go back home with a toilet only on the first floor and a bath aide once a week. Your patient has to be very alert to safely use a stair lift; if they have dementia, oh my!

If your parent is a veteran...go to the VA. If the VA doctor orders it, then they will send someone out to check out the house...and you can get one through them at a steep discount.

Check out the local senior volunteer organizations. There are often "handyman" volunteers as part of them...they go out and do work on homes for seniors.
