Half of all injury-related deaths among seniors in Canada were caused by falls.

Very interesting article in the Toronto Star on Saturday, November 18th names “After the Fall.” Key fact is that almost half of all injury-related deaths among seniors in Canada were caused by falls. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates one in three people older than 65 will fall at least once a year, a rate that increases to one in two for people over the age of 80.

SILVER CROSS takes our role in the process of assisting seniors in staying safe in their own homes as they age extremely seriously. Stair lifts and related products are one of the key solutions provided by SILVER CROSS across North America. Falling down a stairway is something that should be avoided at all costs. Recycling stair lifts just makes sense.

What are People Really Wanting When Searching for a Stair Lift

People looking for a stair lift are wanting a few simple things from a local representative.  First, they want fast, good information.  Second, they want to be treated with respect by a friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable company.  Third, they want a fair price for the product and service offered.

Client comments clearly focus on the total experience as being extremely important.

Farmer Trades Stairlifts for Ceiling Lift

A farmer from rural Kansas with a neuromuscular disease had three recycled stairlifts in his home, which SILVER CROSS-Kansas City installed over a year ago.

His condition has progressed and he has asked us to provide an overhead ceiling lift to make it easier for his wife and son to do basic transfers for him. We took his two stairlifts as a trade-in, and in turn he purchased a demo model portable overhead track system that allowed them to go on vacation.

Upon his return he told us it worked so well that he wants us to put up a ceiling track in his bathroom to simplify bathing, etc. Happy motoring to our farmer friend!
