An elderly relative needs a stairlift and a bathroom conversion. Social
Services have said they cannot provide any financial support with the lift but they will with the bathroom. Relative has had a visit but was told that she won't know the cost of the stairlift until after it has been installed. On asking what would she do if she can't afford it she was told she could pay on monthly terms. It all seems like the window salesmen of the 1970's. The installation is as simple as possible - straight stairs. An accurate estimate and the APR of any finance surely is a legal requirement. I asked why she couldn't make arrangements directly with a stairlift supplier. She had been told that she has to go through Social Services as it is part of the "Scheme" with the bathroom. Sorry to be a bit vague - any ideas on what the normal practice is? -- Regards John --- All of my outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
