Seniors Get Lift in Home Design

We’re used to hearing about those home upgrades that make a big difference in terms of value and investment: spa bathrooms, modern kitchens, patios, wet bars… You get the idea, but home elevators? That’s a new one.

With senior citizens and aging baby boomers opting to stay home rather than check into assisted living or nursing facilities, home elevators have become a costly but satisfying option. Home lifts are now available in many sizes, styles, and price ranges, still expensive, but many say better and cheaper than the cost of finding new digs.
