Check the space left for daily life.
Walk the hallway with the assessor and identify doors near both rail ends. Ask where the chair will park and what remains on the staircase when the seat and footrest are folded. Use the measured proposal rather than a generic clearance claim.
Try folding the parts you would handle yourself. If bending or reaching is awkward, ask about powered options and their costs. A feature shown during a sales demonstration may not be part of the basic package.
For Tallmadge installation, keep a record of the proposed rail end, parked position and charging arrangements. Ask the installer to explain those details during handover so they work with the way you use your home.
Three questions for your Tallmadge comparison
- What space remains with the chair folded?
- Can I comfortably fold the seat and footrest?
- Where should I park it for charging?
Before requesting an assessment
Describe the route and the rooms you want to reach. Give your actual OH address and ask the provider to confirm service there. The person who will use the chair should be involved in a demonstration and the final choice of seat, controls and stopping positions.
If you are helping someone else, use the printable checklist together. You do not need to choose a model before discussing the route, but the installer needs measurements before confirming fit.
