It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days.

    Good reminder that people should have a conversation with their parents about the fact that they wil probably end up unable to go up and down stairs at some point and that if they want to keep living in a house for a long time then a two storey house might not be the best solution…

      We moved my parents from a two storey to a one storey about fifteen years ago and damn if it wasn’t one of the best decisions we (the extended family) ever made. Dad got a mobility disorder not three years later and we went from twenty stair steps in the house to three. The front porch, the back porch, and the step into the garage. We even got a wheelchair ramp installed, which was great for my SIL (she uses one). The timing was fortuitous.
