Check what stays in the hallway.
Show the assessor the doorways near the first step and the path people take past the stairs. Ask where the fixed rail ends and where the folded chair will sit. The seat folding away does not mean the rail disappears.
If a hinged rail is proposed, ask to see the exact operation and whether it is manual or powered. Try any reaching and bending that would be required. Record the option and price rather than assuming it comes with the basic lift.
Plan the upper landing in your Dunmore home too. Review the swivel position, space to stand and where a walking aid would wait. Keep the accepted route and parking arrangement on the installation scope.
Three questions for your Dunmore comparison
- What stays beside the doorway when the chair is folded?
- Can I use the hinged rail option comfortably?
- Where will I stand after swivelling at the top?
Before requesting an assessment
Describe the route and the rooms you want to reach. Give your actual PA address and ask the provider to confirm service there. The person who will use the chair should be involved in a demonstration and the final choice of seat, controls and stopping positions.
If you are helping someone else, use the printable checklist together. You do not need to choose a model before discussing the route, but the installer needs measurements before confirming fit.
