Hello!
This is my first post. My husband suffered a T7 injury in December as a side effect of aortic aneurysm surgery.
We own a 2-story 1926 bungalow in Tampa. We love this house and selling is not an option for us (we would likely take a bath on it, since we just bought it a year and a half ago, and we would still be in need of accessible housing but we wouldn't have any money to spend on making it accessible). So we are interviewing contractors to start renovating.
We know we are going to need a platform lift to travel up and down the stairs. (He has been in inpatient rehab for 3 days so it's way too soon to know whether he'll be able to transfer... so I would rather plan to install the platform lift.) We want something that will require a minimal amount of reinforcement in the wall. I know this will be approximately a $10,000 purchase, and it's something I know almost nothing about (and I'm not in the habit of spending $10,000 on anything without researching it thoroughly). Does anyone have a platform lift they can recommend? Are there any that we should steer clear of? Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
