Here's what surprises most families: features like wheelchair ramps, grab bars, and residential elevators can actually increase your home's market appeal—especially as 82 million Americans are projected to be 65+ by 2050.

The key? Going beyond basic accessibility to embrace universal design principles that work for multiple generations under the same roof.

Of course, there's an even bigger return on investment that's harder to put a price tag on: the peace of mind that comes from knowing your loved one can live safely and comfortably in their own home.

Learn how to make smart accessibility investments that benefit your family now and add value later.

You might find yourself wondering: Is it time for Mom to move? Does Dad need assisted living?

There's another option. A stairlift can transform that worrisome staircase into a safe, easy path—letting your loved one stay in the home they know and love.

Our latest blog covers everything families need to know: why stairs become challenging with age, the different types of stairlifts for any home layout (yes, even those classic New England curved staircases), essential safety features to look for, and tips for having the conversation with your parent.

Because helping your loved one stay safe at home shouldn't mean giving up their independence.
