While the installation of ramps is one approach to improving accessibility, platform lifts can often be a more cost-effective and space-efficient option, especially in urban areas where real estate is at a premium. Ramps can require significant space and may not always be feasible due to architectural constraints. In contrast, platform lifts occupy a smaller footprint, making them suitable for a variety of environments. They can be installed in residential homes, improving access to entryways, porches, or even garage entries without the need for significant renovations.

Safety features, such as non-slip feet and sturdy support frames, also minimize the risk of accidents. Seniors can feel more secure when using a potty chair, reducing their stress and fear related to falls or injuries.
