What does a person do if they use a scooter and live in a bi-level? From what I have seen of stair lifts it is for a person and not a scooter. I would have to have a scooter upstairs, downstairs and one to take with me when I go out. I don't think Medicare would pay for that!

I'm not sure.
At my house, my dad just bought my mom extra rollators. One for upstairs, one for downstairs, and one for keeping in the car when we go out. My dad never submitted them to insurance. He just paid outright for them. (something not everyone can do) My dad also didnt submit the stairlift to insurance either. (also something not everyone can do) It scares me now that my dad is retiring that he wont be able to do things like that anymore if we have to have any more modifications done to the house again. I think they also make chair lifts that are for helping people in wheelchairs and scooters, but I dont know if you'd have to have the structure of your stairs altered for something like that.

OOPS, my stairs aren't that wide!!!!! I guess I will have to win a lottery to buy a fleet of scooters.

You'd probably be better off either moving or installing an elevator that would span all the floors with a stop at each. They aren't cheap and take a decent amount of floor space. $30,000+!

I sure don't want to move. Just the thought of me going through things, packing and unpacking just to buy a ranch Our mortgage is paid off. At least I hope I never have to move.

I think SandyC (?) posted pictures of her husbands lift that they installed for the basement. He was able to use it without transferring. I think it was for a wheelchair not a scooter, but there might be something similar.
