I have stairs at home and wondering how to help father who has athritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arthritis: If he is unable to use the stairs anymore. Then consider making a bedroom for him on the lower level or get one of those motorized chairs for the stairs. Last resort install an elevator.
