In Trousdale Estates, the hillside split-levels often have staircases that curve twice before the landing, nothing like the straight runs in the Beverly Hills flats. With about 42% of homes here owner-occupied, plenty of longtime owners are staying put rather than selling. Most callers ask about the curved rail before the price, so have us measure your actual stairs first, then we'll quote what fits.
Why a stairlift installed in Beverly Hills, CA is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
Beverly Hills sits at about 259 feet elevation and is split between the relatively level 'Flats' south of Sunset Boulevard and steep hillside neighborhoods and canyon drives climbing toward the Santa Monica Mountains.

Common situations we get called out for across Beverly Hills's neighborhoods. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
We have owned this 1955 colonial on a Flats side street since 1974. My husband had not been upstairs in four months since knee replacement at Cedars-Sinai. Luis through-bolted the rail into the oak stringer, Zone 4 seismic spec, and the cream seat parks at the bottom landing. His cardiologist walked right past it during a house call and did not notice the rail.
Our Trousdale Estates home has an open-riser floating staircase with cantilevered treads. Two other companies refused. Luis scanned the full geometry and the factory engineered mounting brackets for the cantilevered run. My father rides from the entry to the master suite without stopping. Five months in, zero issues. The brown seat parks at the top landing out of the way.
I used the HISA grant through the West LA VA Medical Center on Wilshire. Luis prefilled VA Form 10-0103 and the $6,800 went directly to the company. I did not write a single check. The straight rail through-bolted into our 1928 Spanish bungalow's concrete stringer south of Wilshire lets me sleep in the master bedroom upstairs again.
Mom qualified for the Medi-Cal HCBA Waiver through LA County. Luis coordinated with the waiver agency, installed the straight rail in our 1948 Roxbury Park home, and billed the state directly under the Environmental Accessibility Adaptation benefit. She did not pay a dollar out of pocket. The rail bolts through the carpet into the treads beneath without removing the pile.
Dad's Beverly Hills Gateway home has eight south-facing flagstone steps from the sidewalk to the front door. The sun bakes those stones all day. He slipped twice before we called. The outdoor rail has UV-stabilized upholstery, IP55 sealing against Santa Ana dust, and seismic through-bolts into the stone treads. He uses it every time he leaves the house.
I use a power wheelchair and a seated stairlift was not an option. Luis installed an inclined platform along the Golden Triangle indoor stairway: flat black deck, yellow safety edges, white handrail, keyed lockout so visiting grandchildren cannot run it unsupervised. The platform carries up to 600 lb. HISA covered $6,800 and the Medi-Cal HCBA Waiver covered the rest.

(800) 965-0350 [email protected]Proven local experience. Licensed. Insured. No surprises.
From Spanish Revival and Mediterranean two-stories on the tree-lined streets of The Flats, with wide staircases, wrought-iron balusters, terra-cotta tile foyers, to mid-century moderns in Trousdale Estates with cantilevered floating staircases, our crew has measured every Beverly Hills stair geometry. The Golden Triangle near Rodeo Drive holds condominiums where co-op approvals under FEHA reasonable-accommodation rules are part of the process. Roxbury Park homes carry 1940s and 1950s straight flights on oak treads. South of Wilshire, smaller Spanish bungalows have compact stone-tile stairwells. Beverly Hills Gateway along Santa Monica Boulevard features raised entries that need UV-sealed outdoor rails. North of Sunset hillsides carry sweeping curved stairs that need full-geometry scans.

It's mostly the staircases, not the zip code. Straight-rail lifts are the cheaper end of the range industry-wide, but a lot of Beverly Hills homes, especially the older hillside and estate-style properties near Trousdale, have curved or multi-landing staircases that need a custom-bent rail. That pushes the quote up before we even talk about seat options or battery backup.
No, the rail is priced off the stairs, not your income. Beverly Hills has a 2019-2023 median household income around $127,979, but that doesn't change what a straight or curved rail costs to manufacture and fit. What does change the price is whether your home has one straight flight or the kind of curved, split-level staircase common in the hillside neighborhoods.
Usually, yes. A single-story-feeling Flats home built on a level lot often has one straight staircase to the second floor, the simpler, less expensive install. Homes climbing toward the canyons frequently split the stairs across landings to work with the slope, which is exactly the situation that calls for a curved rail and a longer install day.
Generally yes, but it takes a site visit first. Homes from the Greystone Mansion era were built with grand, often curved staircases: real wood, real width, sometimes unusual banister heights. We measure the actual stairs, not a standard template, and order the rail bent to match rather than assuming a stock straight rail will fit.
A straight-rail job in a flat, single-run staircase is usually a same-day install. A curved rail for a split-level or canyon-adjacent home, the kind of layout you get climbing toward the Santa Monica Mountains, takes longer because the rail is custom-built to the stairs after measurement, so plan on the quote appointment and install being separate visits.
The rail mounts to the stair treads themselves, not the wall, so it's a standard bracket install regardless of whether the staircase is original hardwood from a 1920s build or a newer hillside home. We walk the specific staircase with the homeowner before quoting so there are no surprises about railings, moldings, or landings that need to be worked around.
A few options exist. L.A. Care Health Plan's Environmental Accessibility Adaptations benefit, part of its Community Supports program, covers home modifications up to a $7,500 lifetime maximum. Call 1-855-427-1223 to check eligibility. Separately, the Medi-Cal Home and Community-Based Alternatives (HCBA) Waiver funds accessibility adaptations through a plan of treatment with no stated individual cost limit, administered regionally for LA County (DHCS line: 916-552-9105).
The LACDA Senior Grant Program, run by the Los Angeles County Development Authority, offers up to $20,000 for mobility and habitability repairs in a senior's home, with the amount depending on property condition. For Beverly Hills addresses that's typically handled by the district office at (626) 586-1814 or (626) 586-1828, or by emailing [email protected].
The VA's Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) and Special Home Adaptation (SHA) grants can fund a stairlift when it's part of an approved adaptation plan for a service-connected disability. FY2026 maximums are up to $126,526 for SAH and up to $25,350 for SHA, usable up to six times over a lifetime. Call 1-877-827-3702 for VA loan/grant assistance. If the veteran isn't eligible for SAH/SHA, ask about the VA's HISA benefit, and note that California's FreedomTech program also offers low-interest loans of $500 to $15,000 for accessibility equipment like stairlifts.

I've measured staircases in Trousdale that curve twice before they even reach the landing, nothing like the straight run you'd get in a newer flats-area house. Beverly Hills clients tend to ask about the curved rail first and the price second, which is backwards from most cities I work. My answer is always the same: measure the actual stairs before anyone talks numbers, because a 1928-era grand staircase and a 1960s split-level don't take the same equipment.
