Please inquire with your long-term care insurance about the possibility of cost coverage for a TOPRO Step stair climbing aid for adapting your individual living environment.
Most people would like to grow old in their own home. However, often their own four walls are not designed to be barrier-free, and at the latest with advancing age or with permanently limited mobility, one becomes aware of this. Suddenly one is faced with a mountain – one’s own stairs.
Thousands of times one has walked up and down the stairs, but suddenly this is no longer possible just like that, be it because one is no longer sure when walking or is dependent on a wheelchair.
Whether you or your relatives are dependent on an aid such as the TOPRO Step due to age or care needs, it is important to contact your (care) insurance directly.
Therefore, please contact your care insurance case worker to discuss the possibility of cost coverage for a stair climbing aid or possible subsidies for the TOPRO Step. It is best to do this before the installation of the TOPRO Step!
There are two requirements to be able to apply for reimbursement of stair climbing aid costs.
The first and most important requirement is that you are a member of a statutory health insurance.
It is often a prerequisite that you are a member of a health insurance fund or equivalent.
It is also common that you or your relative must have an official care degree that proves both the need for care and limited mobility.
Whether and how much your insurance company must or can pay is always individual.
The application for a subsidy is made either informally or formally. You submit the formal application to your care insurance fund using the appropriate forms.
Feel free to inquire personally with your care insurance fund about the necessary documents or find information on the corresponding website. There you may find the forms available for download.
To carry out an on-site inspection and receive a quote, make an appointment with us. Once you have accepted the quote, we will carry out the installation, which usually only takes a few hours.

COPD, a disease that is little known to the public, is nevertheless one of the most common lung diseases worldwide. But what exactly is COPD, also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

Jakob Rønningen had no objections when the stair climber was ready for use in the care home. “The device looks good and is robust. I felt safe,” he said after walking up and down the stairs once.

Young entrepreneurs develop a stair climbing aid. They themselves have grandparents who have difficulty climbing stairs. This prompted three young entrepreneurs in Trondheim to develop a new aid that makes it possible to climb stairs safely and maintain important physical functions.

If sitting down and standing up is made more difficult due to restricted movement caused by joint stiffness, for example, the classic stairlift is not necessarily the best solution for climbing the stairs in your own home.

With the help of the TOPRO Step stair climber, he can now go up and down the stairs on his own. Previously, Peder (8) had to crawl up the stairs and could only go up and down the stairs to his nursery at home with the help of his parents.

With increasing age or for people in need of care, sooner or later the question arises of what happens if you can no longer climb the stairs in your own home independently. Should you wait until the time comes or take the precaution of adapting your living space before it’s too late?
