Grandma Lu, who is 96 years old this year, does not have an elevator at home, and going up and down the stairs is a great challenge for her. In the Yangpu Science and Technology Disability Public Welfare Enterprise Alliance, Grandma Lu found Shanghai Zhanda Industrial Co., Ltd., which provides stair climbing machine rental services. The staff told Grandma Lu that the rental service only costs 2 yuan each way, and you can rent it for free with the coupon provided by the District Disabled Persons' Federation. "It's very stable, and the safety of the elderly is the first thing." Grandma Lu said after the ride.
