From CTV News (Bell Media):

"It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days."

My parents put in a stair lift. I'd expect more are doing something like that where they are a few thousand bucks. But you still need to be able to transfer to/from the seat. It doesn't accommodate a wheelchair.

It's not such an extravagant purchase when it's the only way my father could make it up and down from his bedroom.
