The stairlift call device: Ensuring safety and independence

By Bethany Ward on 25th May 2023

As we age or face mobility challenges, everyday activities can become increasingly difficult. Climbing stairs is one task that can pose significant risks and limitations. However, thanks to technological advancements, stairlifts have become a reliable and convenient solution. This blog post will explore the benefits of a stairlift call device, an innovative addition to the stairlift that ensures safety and independence for individuals in need.

A stairlift call device is a communication tool that connects the user with their loved ones or caregivers in case of emergencies or when they are in need of assistance. It can be installed on the arm of the stairlift to allow the user to call for help instantly, providing peace of mind for the user and their support network. The call device feature also ensures that the stairlift is compliant with new EN 81-40:2020 safety regulations, if the user does not have another means of communication while on the lift. Benefits of the call device include: 

User-friendly interface: The call device for the Flow X and HomeGlide are designed to seamlessly integrate into the arm of the stairlift. They feature user-friendly interfaces, making them accessible to individuals with varying degrees of technological familiarity. The device can be easily activated through a button, ensuring simplicity and convenience for all ages.

Emergency Response and Assistance: When a stairlift user requires immediate assistance, the call device acts as a direct line of communication. Users can alert their caregivers or emergency services by activating the call function. This feature is especially crucial for individuals with limited mobility or medical conditions, providing them with a reliable means to seek help when needed.

Enhanced Independence and Confidence: This feature instils a sense of independence and confidence in stairlift users. Knowing that help is just the press of a button away, individuals can navigate their homes with greater reassurance, encouraging them to maintain an active and fulfilling lifestyle. This device empowers users to continue living in their beloved homes, promoting a sense of autonomy and well-being.

The call device is vital to modern stairlifts, promoting safety, independence, and confidence for individuals facing mobility challenges. With its intuitive design, emergency response capabilities, and seamless integration, this device bridges the gap between users and their support network, allowing them to navigate their homes with ease and security. As technology continues to evolve, stairlift call devices will play an increasingly significant role in enhancing the quality of life for those in need, reaffirming their right to independence and dignity.
