What happens if my husband/wife has used the lift to go upstairs and I’m stuck downstairs?
Stair lifts come with remote controls, similar to what you use for the TV, which is useful if someone else in your house uses your stair lift and you need to call it back to where you are or you want to send something up or down the stairs without having to carry it. Many people use their stair lift as a dumb waiter, sending things like a load of washing or books to someone waiting to unload them at the other end. You remote controls can be mounted on the wall at the top and bottom of your stairs so you can always able to find them when you need them.
