First lift for Lukas: Family celebrates a big step into freedom!

First lift for Lukas: Family celebrates a big step into freedom!

An important step for the Bitschnau family from Rankweil recently became a reality: On Thursday, the outside lift for eight -year -old Lukas was installed, which has been paralyzed on one side since a stroke at the age of three. The project was made possible by a dedicated fundraising campaign by Vol.at, which mobilized numerous supporters. After installing the lift technology by the Weigl Lifts systems company, even smaller structural work is now necessary, such as shaft ventilation and the adjustment of the door connections.

The family is grateful for the support that its allocation is allocated and sees the lift as an important step for the everyday life of Lukas. The TÜV acceptance of the lifts is scheduled for Thursday afternoon, and the first trip for Lukas is already planned in the coming week. Many helpers, including the Lot Holzbau team, contributed to the success of the project.

barrier -free living in the focus

The installation of the lift for Lukas is an example of the growing importance of barrier -free living. The costs can be significant, especially for comprehensive construction work such as the installation of stair lifts, the creation of barrier -free bathrooms or door extensions. Depending on the personal life situation and the goal of the renovation, various grants and grants are available. It is recommended to get advice on suitable financing options, especially in the case of long -term care insurance, which provides grants up to EUR 4,180 per measure for "measures to improve the living environment".

In addition, up to 16,720 euros can be requested from several people in need of care in an outpatient residential group. Health insurance also offers support from the financing of certain aids and the rehabilitation carriers can cover the costs for social, medical and professional measures depending on the personal situation.

long -term planning for quality of life

Another aspect that the KfW (Kreditanstalt für Reconstruction) emphasizes is the need for long -term planning in terms of living space and conversions. The requirements and wishes for the living area can change depending on the phase of life. In particular, there is interest for older people to reduce barriers in the household in order to enable a self -determined life. The KfW offers various programs to promote barrier -free living and offer cheap financing options.

The current developments, such as the installation of the Lukas lift, show how important it is to adapt living space to individual needs and to reduce barriers. Support in every phase of life is crucial to increase the quality of life and enable everyone to live their own. Tenants should also work towards a modernization agreement with their landlord to improve their living situation. kfw.de provides relevant information.
