After fifty years, the home Lynne and her husband loved was becoming a source of stress. His Parkinson’s disease meant that the stairs—the easiest path between their living spaces—were now a serious safety risk.
“It reached the point where every trip upstairs was terrifying,” Lynne recalls. “We started to wonder if we’d have to move. The thought of leaving the place we’ve called home for so long was unbearable.”
Finding the Right People
Lynne searched for solutions, but nothing felt right until she discovered Velocity Home Lifts, They are an established, dedicated Australian family business run by brothers James and John Garrett, with their mother, Sheila, helping to steer the ship, offering the personal accountability that can be missing from larger corporations.
“From the very first call, I knew I’d found the right people,” Lynne says. “They were so genuine and caring. They listened to exactly what we needed, explained everything clearly, and treated us like family.”
Choosing the Iconic: Seamless, Quiet, Safe
Lynne chose the largest version of the popular Iconic elevator ‘Velocity’. It was exactly what they needed:
They can both fit in the elevator together.
Spacious enough for comfort.
Whisper-quiet operation.
Beautifully Blends into the existing home décor.
The best part? was the short amount of time it took to install. There were no major, messy renovations required, and the Velocity team handled every detail. This ease of retrofitting is why the Iconic is the preferred choice for seniors and is highly recommended by occupational therapists looking to safely and stylishly future-proof your home.
The Game Changer: Up to $15,000 in Government Funding
When Lynne installed her lift, she and her husband funded it entirely on their own. Now, things are different for you.
As of November 1, 2025, the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has launched the Assistive Technology Home Modification (AT-HM) Scheme. This means eligible seniors can now apply for up to $15,000 in government funding to help cover the cost of essential home accessibility solutions—including high-quality home elevators.
For countless seniors, this new funding could make the difference between having to move out and being able to make this life-changing, affordable improvement.
The best way to stay grounded is to go up. Don’t miss out on this timely financial opportunity to secure your comfort and safety.
