We all know what a stair chair lift is so I won’t bore you with some innocuous details about how they operate. Rather, I would like to recount a story about my grandmother who was suffering from mobility issues and how we had struggled between our love and loyalty with the obvious monetary considerations about purchasing the stair chair.

My grandmother was born in the early 1900′s in a small town in Italy. At an early age she became stricken with polio , which left her with a severe limp. As she grew older the limp had become increasingly worse, getting to the point where she could no longer make her way up the stairs very easily. She was living in an old brownstone in Brooklyn, New York and if you have ever been in one of these homes you know how steep and narrow the steps can be. She was a tough Italian woman that refused to admit she couldn’t do something but this was becoming too much to overcome.

We had a difficult decision to make about her future and what would be best for her. A nursing home was out of the question and moving was also not an option. The church she attended everyday was right next door and being a devotedly religious person she couldn’t bear the thought of not being able to go to church everyday. We made the decision to have a stair chair lift installed so she could remain in the place that made her the happiest.

After doing some research and seeing what the price of the stair chair lifts were we had a big decision to make. On a limited income my grandmother had no way of paying for this herself. The old brownstone had weird shaped steps and the stair chair lift would have to be customized to fit her needs. This obviously increased the price and caused a fair amount of discussion among all of us.

In the end the decision was made to pay whatever it took to see that my grandmother remained in the home she loved. She was able to live out the rest of her life in this home and I can still remember the look of happiness on her face when we told her she didn’t have to leave.

That stair chair made all the difference to an old woman who wanted to stay in her home. Money took a backseat to the things that are really important in your life, like seeing an old woman cry with tears of joy. What would you do faced with the same decision?
