When the stairs in your home become a barrier, most people think they have two options — move to a single-level home, or find a way to get between floors safely. If moving isn't something you want to do, the next question is usually: should I get a stairlift or a home elevator?  Both solve the same fundamental problem — getting you safely from one floor to another. But they are vastly different in terms of cost, installation complexity, disruption to your home, and the time it takes to get up and running. For many people, the decision is more straightforward than they expect once they understand what each option actually involves.
