Stair climber- a way out of the house

Usługa

The innovation responds to the problem of social isolation and impaired access to the outdoors faced by older people who are unable to climb stairs due to their health condition. For people living in buildings without a lift, not being able to walk up the stairs means that their mobility and participation in social life is restricted.

The project consists of activating a dozen people willing to help senior citizens with mobility difficulties. The main idea of the project is to implement a stair climber to make it easier for older people who cannot use a lift to get out of their homes.
