Multicare Works Closely With Medical Experts To Develop Revolutionary Stairlift Design

Online, April 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Colne-based Multicare is leading the way in a groundbreaking stairlift design, which was created with the help of medical experts.

The 'HomeGlide stairlift', produced in partnership with ergo-therapists and focus groups, is years ahead of its time.

Martin Baldwin, of Multicare Stairlifts, said: "The design is simple, sturdy and matches every accessibility requirement imaginable.

"HomeGlide is an attractive and discrete stairlift, elegantly blending in with the existing decor. It is ready for use from the moment it arrives.

"Quality, service and reliability are fundamental to design."

HomeGlide stairlifts are operated using an easy-to-use joystick. By moving the joystick left or right, it will move up or down your staircase.

It also includes remote control handsets, which can be positioned at the top and bottom of your stairs, designed specifically so that anyone can use the stairlift.

A long life rechargeable battery powers the stairlift, simply by plugging it into the nearest wall socket.

To help users get on and at the top of a staircase, a manual swivelling feature is fitted and seatbelt are fitted as standard.

Pressure sensitive edging around the stairlift provides extra security in the event of an obstruction on your stairs and the footrest protects against any trapping hazard.

An On/Off switch is also fitted as standard, this keeps the batteries charged if you were to go on holiday and unplug the HomeGlide.
