Where might I find grants for the purchase of a stair lift for the elderly?
{image:handicap lift]I’m in the process of buying a new home and all secondary bedrooms are located on the second floor. I care for my grandmother and she is in denial about her ability. So for her to move easily around the house and let her get close to my daughter I want to install a lift on the stairs. But I was wondering if there are grants available to help with the purchase of the lift chair.

You must call the Medicaid or Medicare office. When it comes to the elderly, tend to all Medicare to pay, if not the most lifts, scooters and chairs. If they have supplemental insurance (eg Blue Cross), please contact hen.Subsidies require you to do a study. What you want is for someone to pay.
