Expert Stairlift Installation in Antrim, PA
Antrim Township's older farmhouses run a straight staircase to the second floor, framed for a family rather than a walker, and that's most of what I fit out here. With homeownership near 90%, most folks plan to stay put, so I build the rail to last. Near the Conococheague the stairwells run older and tighter, so let's measure before I quote a number.

Stairlift Service Across Franklin County
Older farmhouses along Shanks Church Road and Williamsport Pike, some dating to the 1800s, often have steep, narrow staircases with original 7.5-inch hardwood treads and low overhead clearance. The Greencastle borough core that Antrim Township surrounds has 1950s two-stories alongside newer construction with wider stairs. Shady Grove, Kauffman, and Browns Mills villages along U.S. 11 between I-81 and the Mason-Dixon Line include single-family homes on larger lots where outdoor lifts for raised porches and basement entries are common. Waynecastle and Clay Hill hold a mix of 1980s ranch-to-two-story conversions. We also serve Chambersburg, Waynesboro, Mercersburg, Washington Township, and Hagerstown MD at the same rate.

Hear It From Your Antrim Neighbors
How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in Antrim. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
Our farmhouse on Shanks Church Road has a staircase that dates to 1920, steep, narrow, and nothing like a modern build. Luis measured every angle with a laser and said he'd installed in similar farmhouses across Franklin County a dozen times. The straight rail went in perfectly. My mother has been using it every day since December without a single issue.
We needed a curved rail for our older home near Greencastle, where the staircase turns 90 degrees at a half-landing. Two companies from Hagerstown said it couldn't be done without two separate lifts. All American scanned the staircase and fabricated one continuous curved rail. It has been running flawlessly for four months.
My father is a veteran and the VA HISA paperwork through Lebanon seemed impossible from our end. Luis prefilled the form, coordinated with the VA directly, and the $6,800 grant came through in six weeks. The outdoor lift on our raised porch in Kauffman handles the Franklin County winters (ice, freezing rain, everything), and Dad hasn't needed help getting into the house since it went in.
We lost power for 18 hours during an ice storm in February. The battery backup kept the lift running the entire time. My husband has Parkinson's and cannot do stairs without it. Knowing the lift works through a power outage is worth more than I can describe. Outstanding company.
After comparing three quotes, All American itemized everything on paper: no hidden fees, lowest total. The install in our I-81 corridor two-story took one afternoon. They walked my mother through every button and left her with a printed instruction sheet. She uses it eight times a day.
The Community HealthChoices waiver covered our entire stairlift cost through Medicaid. All American handled the paperwork with the CHC managed care organization, so we didn't have to figure out the bureaucracy ourselves. From first call to installed lift was five weeks. My grandmother is 91 and independent in her own home because of this company.

Everything Antrim 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 typically cost for a home in Antrim Township?
Straight-rail installs run less than curved ones, and in a township this rural -- 65.6 housing units per square mile -- a lot of homes still have that simple, single-flight staircase from when the farmhouse or ranch was first built. Older properties near the township's historic sites, from the same era as the Stover-Winger Farm, are more likely to need a curved rail for a landing or turn, which raises the price. I measure the actual stairs before quoting -- the township's housing stock is too varied to price over the phone.
Does financing or income affect what I'd pay out of pocket?
It can. Median household income in the township has historically sat in the mid-$40,000s, so a good number of local buyers lean on financing or one of the funding programs below rather than paying cash outright. The PA Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF) offers a Mini-Loan up to $7,000 at 0% interest, or a Low-Interest Loan up to $60,000 at 3.75% for bigger jobs -- no income limit to qualify either way.
How long does a stairlift install take on an older Antrim farmhouse staircase?
A standard straight-rail job is usually done same-day, a few hours start to finish. Curved rails -- more common on the township's older homes, including places near the four National Register sites -- are custom-built to the stairwell first, so there's a lead time before install day, but the on-site work itself still wraps in under a day.
Will a stairlift damage a historic or older staircase?
No. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall or the banister, so original woodwork and trim stay untouched. That matters here -- Antrim Township has four National Register-listed structures, including Martin's Mill Covered Bridge and Old Brown's Mill School, and plenty of nearby homes share that same older construction where the staircase and trim are worth protecting.
Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover a stairlift for an Antrim Township resident?
Yes, potentially, through the Community HealthChoices (CHC) Waiver -- a managed-care Medicaid benefit that can pay for home modifications including a stairlift, approved case-by-case through your Person-Centered Service Plan. There's no fixed statutory cap published; the MCO sets the amount based on need. Apply through the PA Independent Enrollment Broker at 1-866-550-4355.
I'm 65+ but not on Medicaid -- is there anything for seniors in Franklin County?
The Pennsylvania OPTIONS Program is state-funded through lottery revenue, open to residents 60 and older regardless of income, with a sliding-scale co-payment and no published dollar cap on home modifications. It's administered locally through the Franklin County Area Agency on Aging -- call 717-263-2153 (toll-free 800-642-6990) to start an assessment; that same office is the general intake point for aging services in the township.
What's available for a veteran in Antrim Township?
The VA's Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant goes up to $126,526 for FY2026, and the Special Home Adaptation (SHA) grant up to $25,350, both verified current on va.gov. Renters or veterans living with a family member can look at the Temporary Residence Adaptation (TRA) grant instead -- up to $50,961 for SAH-eligible veterans or $9,100 for SHA-eligible. Call 1-800-827-1000 to start a claim; the Center for Independent Living Opportunities at 717-849-0991 can help sort out which waiver or grant actually fits.

I've been out to enough of these Antrim Township farmhouses to know the pattern -- a straight run up to a second floor that was framed for a family, not a walker or a cane. With 89.5% homeownership out here, most folks I talk to plan on staying put, not selling in five years, so I spec the rail to last. The properties closer to the Conococheague tend to be older builds with tighter stairwells, and those usually need a proper in-person measurement before I'll quote a number.
