Stair gates for elderly

penwise

Elderly relative in Belfast needs stair gate at top of stairs. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated

I'm not sure such a thing exists why do you need it? sorry if that sounds like a stupid question ..

She is ill and it is to help prevent her falling down the stairs

Surely a childgate would do the same job?

Because of an adult's height a child gate may not be appropriate and could even increase the danger.

penwise, perhaps your GP or practice nurse could put you in contact with an Occupational Therapist locally who should be able to advise you.
