245.0. "Lift information" by BSS::K_LAFRANCE () Mon Mar 17 1997 10:57

    Hello,
    
    	I'm trying to find information on having a company install a "lift"
    in my two story home.  What I need is to have a way to get my daughter
    from the first floor to second floor, and back down again.  
    
    	What I need is either a company name or information on cost and
    what/how much construction it take.

    I looked into this a year or so ago.  I had one or two firms come out
    to the house and give me lit on stair lifts.  "Stanis" or something
    similar is one I recall.  Most of the leads I got by looking in the
    back of mags or in the yellow pages.  From what I remember, the 
    stair lifts were priced by the foot with premiums for turns and
    landings or steeper pitches.  The price may have been in the 10k
    range.  The price for elevators seemed to start at mid 20's and 
    went up from there.  I postponed the project until my back gives out.
    I suspect you know this, but Digital's insurance coverage will
    not pay for these items.

    Do you require a wheelchair platform lift?  We have one from this
    company.
