Studies show that continued socialization throughout people’s lives contributes to a higher quality of life.
This is especially true of people in the golden years of their lives. Religious activity and engagement are proven habits for people to age more gracefully and contribute to longevity. This makes it essential to have your church accessible for those who have a harder time getting around and using stairs.
Many places of worship are involved in their community’s well-being.
Being non-profit organizations, seniors and people that are more in need than others often lean on the services of these worship centers to continue on with a normal life by using food pantry and clothing services as well.

Wheelchair Lifts
Wheelchair lifts can also be added to your church with ease. These can be used indoor or outdoor on a porch, foyer, or deck for a few examples. They can travel up to 14 feet, and specific models can accommodate multiple stops within that distance.
Inclined Platform Lifts
Inclined Platform Lifts are something to consider when a wheelchair lift cannot be added to a building that has a staircase and is in need of wheelchair accessibility. Much like a stairlift, these can be made on a straight or a curved rail to tackle differing configurations of stairs in your place of worship. This style of wheelchair lift will also conveniently fold up so others can still use the stairs when it is not in use.
Ramps
Places of worship can be some of the oldest buildings in a town or city. This can make the addition of a wheelchair lift a hardship when it comes to construction and modifying a historic building. Adding a Ramp to the front of your church can add accessibility access without additional work needed to be done in order to install them.
