My wife has severe back problems and needs assistance to get up the stairs of our apartment. Can you suggest companies that sell either chair - stair lifts or residential. elevators ? We live in Moshav Mevo Modi'im in Israel.

Hello. I live in the United States, but my mother-in-law lives in Jerusalem. I am wondering what your answer was to Moshe Yitzchak Kussoy about the chair- stair lift. My mother-in-law has too much trouble going down her stairs now, so she doesn't go out much anymore; even when her aide comes during the day. I would be much less worried about her state if she were able to be more mobile. Thank you and I appreciate your good and honorable work!
