Stairlifts: Better quality of life for everyone
Stairlifts offer people with limited mobility the opportunity to continue living independently within their own four walls. They are a sensible investment in one's own quality of life and can help to maintain independence and autonomy.
The KfW subsidy for stairlifts is a good way to reduce the costs of purchasing and installing a stairlift. The subsidy is suitable for private individuals (owners and tenants) who live in a building they use themselves.
