Meeting Accessibility Needs in Nursing Homes
Care homes face unique demands when it comes to lift installations. Lifts are used frequently each day by residents with limited mobility, and often need to carry heavier loads such as motorised wheelchairs, stretchers, or even beds. Many older homes also have restricted space, while residents require quiet and smooth operation to avoid unnecessary stress.
We provide solutions built for these environments specifically. Discuss your project with our team to find the right option for your care facility.

Nursing Home FAQs
-
What types of lifts are best for nursing homes?
The best lift depends on your building and the daily needs of residents. Platform lifts are ideal for smaller homes where space is limited. Cabin lifts provide the comfort and ease of a passenger lift, making them suitable for medium to large facilities. Platform lifts for heavy-duty use support beds, stretchers, and large wheelchairs.
-
Can your lifts carry hospital beds and larger wheelchairs?
Yes. For homes that require the safe movement of larger wheelchairs, stretchers, or even hospital beds, we recommend the ILS 1000kg High Capacity Platform Lift. With a generous platform size, wide door options, and a generous capacity, it is built to handle demanding healthcare environments.
-
Are your lifts safe for elderly residents?
Absolutely. Our lifts are designed with safety as a top priority. Features include smooth ride technology, quiet operation, constant-pressure controls (for platform lifts), automatic doors (for cabin lifts), and integrated emergency communication systems. These ensure residents feel secure and comfortable, while staff have peace of mind knowing the equipment is built to the highest standards.
-
Are Invalifts’ lifts compliant with healthcare standards?
Yes. All of our lifts comply with the Equality Act 2010 and Part M of the Building Regulations, ensuring safe and inclusive access for all users. Our products are designed to meet the needs of healthcare and residential care settings, offering reliable daily operation while supporting the independence and dignity of residents.
-
How long does installation take, and is disruption minimal?
Installation times vary by lift type and building conditions. A stair lift can often be installed in a day or two, while platform and cabin lifts usually take slightly longer. Because many of our lifts use self-supporting shafts and require only shallow pits, building work is minimal. We coordinate closely with care home managers to keep disruption to residents at an absolute minimum.
-
Can lifts be installed in older or narrow buildings?
Yes. Many nursing homes operate from older properties with limited space. Our compact models are designed with small footprints and shallow pits, making them ideal for retrofits. Custom sizing options are also available, enabling installations in locations where traditional lifts would not fit.
-
What is the difference between a cabin lift and a platform lift in care homes?
A platform lift is open-sided and operated with constant-pressure controls, suitable for shorter travel distances or where space is tight. A cabin lift is fully enclosed with automatic doors and one-touch operation, giving residents the feel of a passenger lift. Both are compliant and reliable, the right choice depends on your building layout, daily use, and resident needs.
-
Are there alternative lift options available?
Yes. In addition to our main product range, we can also supply alternative lifts such as the Ascendor Stair Riser Platform Stair Lift and the Phoenix The Rise Platform Lift. These are particularly useful for unique layouts or projects with specialist requirements. They are only available on request. To learn more, please contact our team.
