Julie Portercott | A Scottish Women's Adventure

After a rather scary turn of events I wound up in a Stannah stair lift store today!

It turns out my parents aren't coping too well with the stairs in their house, they've had a couple of small spills on the stairs and just aren't that confident on them any more.

It's absolutely heartbreaking to think of them being frail and needing help like this now, they're my parents and have always been so strong!

So as soon as I heard about this I took them straight to see a stair lift specialist, and we're getting one installed in their house this week.

They have a staircase which goes around in a square so they need a more complicated model but we've got it all sorted now.

I thought this day was way off into the future, but this will be a great help to them and hopefully help them keep going for a long time to come!
