Stairlift Service Across Franklin County
Bexley's housing stock changes block by block. The Bullitt Park neighborhood along Parkview Avenue and Drexel Circle holds 1920s Tudors and Georgians with carved newel posts, ornate balusters, and steep formal stairs that need slim-profile curved rails. South Bexley between Main Street and Livingston Avenue runs to 1940s Craftsman bungalows on Fair Avenue and South Cassingham Road with carpeted treads and tighter 34-inch staircases. Central Bexley between Broad and Main has 1930s Colonials on wide boulevards. The Cassingham Corridor near the Bexley schools and the East Broad Street stretch by Capital University round out the city: 1930s Colonials with formal foyers and open straight-run stairs.

How jobs tend to go for Bexley homeowners, where about 14% of residents are 65 or older. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
We live in a 1925 Tudor on Parkview Avenue with a steep oak staircase and carved newel posts I was terrified would get damaged. All American bolted the curved rail into the treads only, with zero contact with the banister or posts. My mother rides it twice a day and the woodwork looks exactly the same as it did 100 years ago. Luis took two visits to scan and confirm before they bent the rail.
I served 22 years in the Army and my knees are shot. My provider at the Chalmers P. Wylie clinic on North James Road wrote the HISA prescription and All American prefilled every form. The grant covered $6,800 and I was riding the lift four weeks after my first call. Luis brought the form to the kitchen table, walked me through line by line, and dropped it off himself.
Our 1930s Colonial on East Broad Street has a straight oak staircase but the entry foyer is narrow. Two companies wanted to mount the rail to the wall, which means drywall and trim damage. Luis bolted it into the treads only and left the original baseboards intact. Four months in, no creaks, no rattles. The cream seat folds flat and the rest of the family walks by without thinking.
My parents speak mostly Spanish and I was worried about communication. Luis ran the entire visit in Spanish, walked Papá through every button twice on the brown seat by the sideboard, and left a Spanish-language manual taped next to the controls. Papá calls it his elevador and uses it six times a day. The slate tiles by the landing make the whole setup feel like it was always there.
Mom needed the outdoor lift before Christmas and I live in Cincinnati. I called Monday, Luis measured Tuesday morning, install crew arrived Thursday. The flagstone porch on Drexel Circle has six steps she hadn't climbed in two months. The unit handles freeze-thaw cycles and the road salt that drifts off Broad Street, with a sealed motor and IP55 rating. She was on her own porch drinking coffee Friday morning.
I use a power wheelchair full-time and a regular stairlift wasn't going to work. Luis installed an inclined platform lift along the indoor stairway with yellow safety edges so I can see exactly where to roll on. Rated 600 lb chair-plus-rider. The PASSPORT Waiver and HISA grant together covered the full $14,000. I ride between floors without leaving my chair.

Everything Bexley 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 one of the larger North Bexley homes?
The staircase drives the price more than the neighborhood does. A home in North Bexley or Bullitt Park with a landing or a turn in the entry stairs usually needs a curved rail, which costs more than a straight unit because it's custom-built to that exact stairwell. Bexley's homeownership rate is 78.3%, so most callers own the home they're modifying, which is what opens up financing and Medicaid waiver options in the first place.
Are South Bexley's smaller homes less expensive to fit for a stairlift?
Often, yes. A lot of South Bexley houses run under 1,500 square feet with a single straight flight, and a straight-rail stairlift is the simplest and least expensive configuration to install. The one thing we check in person is stairwell width -- older, compact homes sometimes have narrower stairs than a standard unit assumes, and that's a measurement, not a guess.
Does Bexley's premium housing market mean stairlifts cost more here than elsewhere?
No, the stairlift itself is priced off the equipment and the install, not the home's value. What changes the price is the staircase geometry -- straight versus curved, single flight versus a landing -- and that shows up across all three of Bexley's housing types, from the compact South Bexley homes to the larger Central and North Bexley properties.
How long does a stairlift install take in a Bexley home?
A straight-run install, common in the smaller South Bexley homes, is usually done in a few hours, same day. A curved rail for one of the larger North Bexley or Bullitt Park staircases with a landing takes longer to manufacture beforehand since it's custom-measured, but the install itself is still typically a single day's work once the rail arrives.
Will a stairlift damage the staircase in an older Bexley home?
No. A stairlift bolts to the treads of the stairs, not the wall or the banister, so original woodwork and trim aren't touched. That matters in a city like Bexley, incorporated back in 1908 as a village and 1932 as a city, where a fair number of the North and Central Bexley homes have finished staircases worth protecting.
Can a curved stairlift handle a grand staircase like the ones in Bullitt Park?
Yes. Curved rail is built off an exact measurement of the stairwell -- every landing, turn, and riser -- so it fits a larger, more architecturally detailed staircase the same way it fits a modest one. Those Bullitt Park and North Bexley homes are exactly the kind of install where we template the stairs in person before ordering the rail.
Does Ohio's PASSPORT program cover a stairlift for a Bexley senior?
PASSPORT's own covered-services list names "Home Modification" directly, and it's available to Ohio residents 60+ who qualify for nursing-facility-level care under an approved plan -- there's no fixed dollar cap, coverage is set by the individualized care plan and Medicaid cost-share. It's not automatic for every applicant; it runs on a needs assessment. Call the local intake line at 614-645-7250 (select Screening) or 1-800-589-7277 to start that assessment for a Franklin County resident.
I'm a veteran in Bexley -- will the VA pay for my stairlift?
Not through the VA's HISA grant -- the source material explicitly excludes "stair glides" from that $6,800 (service-connected) or $2,000 (non-service-connected) benefit. But a stairlift can be covered with no fixed dollar cap through VA Prosthetics when it's medically prescribed by a VA provider. Separately, the VA's Specially Adapted Housing grant (up to $126,526) and Special Home Adaptation grant (up to $25,350) fund broader home modifications for veterans with qualifying disabilities, even though neither itemizes a stairlift by name.
Are there non-Medicaid grants for a Bexley homeowner who doesn't qualify for PASSPORT?
Bexley is its own incorporated city, not part of Columbus, so the Healthy Homes & Repair Program for Franklin County outside Columbus city limits is worth a call -- it's income-gated (roughly $62,450/yr for a one-person household up to $117,750/yr for an eight-person household) and lists "handicap accessibility modifications" as an eligible repair category; call 614-233-4171 to confirm eligibility. Modcon Living's Safe at Home program (formerly Rebuilding Together Central Ohio) is a separate nonprofit option for homeowners 60+ or on disability income who've owned three-plus years -- reach them at 614-258-6392 or [email protected].

I've measured staircases in the big Bullitt Park homes that need a custom curved rail around a landing, and I've done straight-run jobs down near Alum Creek in South Bexley in an afternoon. Bexley's a small town -- 2.44 square miles -- but the housing stock isn't uniform at all, so I don't quote off a phone description. With Capital University and Trinity Lutheran Seminary right here, a lot of the people who call have already done their homework, and I'd rather walk the stairs with them than talk past what they've already read.
