MS and stairs
 
So, what actually is Multiple Sclerosis? For those that do not know, Multiple sclerosis is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. With MS comes a lot of symptoms, some of which are Visual problems, Muscle spasms and stiffness, Neuropathic pain, and Musculoskeletal pain, all of which affect the mobility of the person.

 
Here at Bespoke Homelifts, we understand that living with MS can be challenging at the best of times. We have helped improve people’s lives by installing a home elevator, it is the latest modern alternative to a stairlift. This not only future proofs your home ensuring you can stay in your home for longer but provides you with an effortless way to travel between floors SAFELY.

 
We can offer our MS customers a range of safety features that can help them, (and carers if need be) move freely between floors in their own home confidently. Our Homelifts range offers compact, space saving designs, stylish two people home lifts, plus wheel-chair/walking aids access in Classic or Deluxe models.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Home Lift
13 January 2022
Everybody is familiar with the commercial lifts we find in public shopping centres, carparks, and business buildings.
