What makes Adams different
Why a stairlift installed in Adams, PA is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
Adams Township's 2,544 housing units (2000 census) skew newer, driven by a 27.4% population increase from 2010 to 2020 that Wikipedia notes was the largest population increase of any township or borough in Butler County over that period.
Source ↗Median household income was $65,357 (2000 census) with a per capita income of $39,204, while only 8.4% of residents were 65 or older — a comparatively young, growing suburban population relative to older-settled townships nearby.

Stairlift Service Across Butler County
Adams Township spans several distinct communities along the Route 228 corridor with very different stair profiles. Mars Borough at the township's center holds the oldest housing — 1940s and 1950s homes with steep stairs and original hardwood where bracket color-matching matters. Pinnacle at Adams on Resolution Drive is a 55+ Traditions of America community with wide single-floor layouts and minimal stair needs. The Village at Treesdale on Route 228 features attached homes with standard 13-foot carpeted runs ideal for same-week straight-rail installs. Valencia's ranch homes off Route 8 typically need basement-to-main-floor lifts on shorter runs. Audubon Hills and Old Orchard at Treesdale carry wide L-shaped staircases requiring curved-rail fabrication. Adams Ridge rounds out the newer construction near the Cranberry line.

Hear It From Your Adams Neighbors
How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in Adams. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
My mother is 82 and lives in her Treesdale colonial. After her hip surgery the stairs were the only obstacle to staying home. The All American installer measured it, confirmed the standard rail would fit, and had her installed the same week. She uses it eight times a day. Absolutely worth it.
We have a curved staircase in our Audubon Hills home. Luis did the laser measurement, explained the 18-day factory lead time, and the rail fit perfectly on installation day. My husband steps off the seat directly onto the upper hallway. No callbacks, no adjustments. Professional work.
Valencia ranch with a finished basement. My father fell on those stairs twice in six months. The installer was done in under three hours and Dad has been using it every day since. The folded seat doesn't block the stairway at all — our grandkids still run past it.
Our Mars Borough home has original 1940s hardwood stairs. We were terrified of damage. Luis used a depth-stop bit, matched the bracket color to the aged oak, and capped every hole. You cannot see where the brackets were installed unless you get on your hands and knees. Exactly what we needed.
Community HealthChoices paperwork was intimidating. Luis walked me through each step, submitted the prior authorization himself, and coordinated with my UPMC CHC coordinator. The lift was fully covered and I paid nothing out of pocket. Five weeks start to finish — they told me that upfront.
My father is a Korean War veteran. The HISA grant covered nearly everything. All American pre-filled the VA form and worked directly with the Cranberry Township VA Clinic on Commonwealth Drive. Six weeks, exactly as quoted, no surprises. Dad uses the lift from the basement to the kitchen every morning.

Everything Adams Homeowners Actually Ask
Straight answers about cost, installation, and funding, no sales fluff. Browse by topic or call us if you have a question that isn't here.
What does a stairlift cost for a typical Adams Township home?
Most Adams Township houses built in the last two decades have a straight staircase, which is the least expensive configuration to fit. Curved or split-level stairs cost more because the rail has to be custom-bent. Given the township's premium affordability band and higher-than-average household income ($65,357 median), we usually walk Butler County homeowners through both new and reconditioned units so the price fits the job, not the other way around.
Are there financing options besides paying out of pocket?
Yes — the PA Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF) offers a Mini-Loan of $100–$7,000 at 0% interest, or a Low-Interest Loan over $7,000 at 3.75%, up to $60,000 total, with no income limit. That's separate from any Medicaid or VA benefit and is usually the fastest way to move forward if you're paying privately.
How long does installation take for a house like mine?
A straight staircase — which describes most of the housing stock Adams Township added during its 2010-2020 growth run — is typically a same-day install. Older or split-level layouts on the township's 22.4 square miles can take longer if the rail needs to turn a landing, but that's less common here than in the older-settled boroughs nearby.
Will the lift damage my staircase or need major construction?
No. The rail mounts to the treads of the staircase itself, not the wall, so there's no drywall work or structural modification involved. That matters in a township where a lot of the housing stock is under 20 years old and homeowners don't want to touch newer finishes.
Does Medicaid cover a stairlift in Butler County?
If you're enrolled in Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver, stair glides are covered — but through traditional Medicaid via your CHC Managed Care Organization, not the waiver's Home Adaptations benefit line. There's no fixed dollar cap; it's approved case-by-case as medically necessary. Disability Rights Pennsylvania (1-800-692-7443) can help you sort out which channel applies to your plan.
I'm 65+ but not on Medicaid — is there help through the county?
The Butler County Area Agency on Aging (724-282-3008, or toll-free 1-888-367-2434) administers the state's OPTIONS program locally. There's no income cap, just a sliding-scale co-payment based on what you earn, and no published maximum on home modifications — they assess your case directly. Their office is at 111 Sunnyview Circle, Suite 101, in Butler.
What can a veteran in Adams Township get toward a stairlift?
The VA's HISA grant covers $6,800 lifetime for a service-connected condition (or $2,000 for non-service-connected), which applies to structural home modifications. A stairlift prescribed through VA Prosthetics has no fixed dollar cap. VA Butler Healthcare is the regional facility to start with, or call the VBA directly at 1-800-827-1000.

I've been out to enough of these newer Adams Township builds to notice the pattern — open-concept first floors with a straight run of stairs to the second, which is about the easiest install we do. What surprises people here is how young the township still skews; only 8.4% were 65 or older at last count, so half my calls in this area aren't retirees, they're working-age homeowners dealing with a knee replacement or a parent who's moved into the spare room. Either way it's usually a half-day job on a straight staircase like most of what's out here.
