About Bithlo
What makes Bithlo different
Why a stairlift installed in Bithlo, FL is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
The Community

Stairlift Service Across Orange County
Our crew has measured staircases across Bithlo's full housing mix. The cinder-block and frame ranches along East Colonial Drive near the Bithlo Community Center take slim-profile straight rails on narrow runs. Bithlo Pines and the homes on Dallas Boulevard are mostly split-levels with standard 36-inch carpeted treads. Properties at State Road 50 and North Tanner Road are raised block homes with exterior concrete steps that need outdoor IP55 units. Toward Chuluota Road and east of the 520 corridor, newer two-stories on larger lots have wide open staircases that take any rail configuration. Pockets near Bithlo Southeast and the homes off South Tanner Road trend toward older frame construction with steeper pitches.

Hear It From Your Bithlo Neighbors
How jobs tend to go for Bithlo homeowners, where about 11% of residents are 65 or older. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
We live in a 1970s block ranch off East Colonial that Dad built himself. The oak stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are narrow and two companies said they couldn't fit a rail. Luis measured, mounted a slim-profile straight rail directly into the treads, and Dad rides it morning and night. The seat folds flat and we walk past it on the way to the kitchen. Three months in, zero issues.
I did two tours in Afghanistan and my back won't let me do stairs anymore. The Orlando VA Medical Center on Veterans Way wrote the HISA prescription and Luis prefilled every form himself. The grant covered $6,800 and the lift was running three weeks after my first call. No runaround, no paperwork maze. They came back two weeks later for a free checkup.
Our two-story near Chuluota Road has an L-shaped staircase with a 90-degree turn at the upper landing. Another company quoted us for two separate lifts plus a transfer at the landing. Luis scanned the whole run digitally, fabricated one curved rail in 12 days, and my wife rides from the living room to the upstairs bathroom without stopping. Five months in, not one issue.
Mi abuela solo habla español and I was worried about the controls. Luis conducted the entire visit in Spanish at the kitchen table and walked her through every button twice. She calls the lift her escalera and uses it at least four times a day. The Spanish manual is taped right next to the controls. She told me Luis explained things better than her doctor does.
Mom needed a lift before the holidays and I live in Tampa. I called Monday, Luis measured Tuesday, the outdoor unit was installed Thursday on her flagstone porch steps off North Tanner. The IP55 seal handles Central Florida humidity and the daily afternoon thunderstorms. Six concrete steps she hadn't climbed since September. She had her morning coffee on the porch Friday.
I use a power wheelchair full-time after the Marines and a regular stairlift was not an option. Luis installed an indoor inclined platform lift with the yellow safety edges so I see exactly where to roll on. Rated 600 lb. The SMMC-LTC waiver and HISA grant together covered the full cost. I ride between floors without leaving my chair. Solid install.

Everything Bithlo 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 Bithlo home?
A straight staircase — one flight, no turns — is the lower end of the price range industry-wide, and most Bithlo homes we've quoted fall into that category since this is a single-story-heavy, rural part of the county. Curved staircases cost more because the rail has to be custom-measured and built for the exact turn, but that's less common in Bithlo's housing stock than in older multi-story neighborhoods closer to Orlando.
Bithlo's median income runs below the county average — are there payment options?
Yes. With 2000 census data showing a median household income of $34,530 in Bithlo and about 21.5% of residents below the poverty line, we walk almost every local customer through financing before they see a final number. The FAAST New Horizon Loan Program is a state-run low-interest option in roughly the $3,000 to $30,000 range that's used for stairlifts and other home modifications — worth asking about before assuming a stairlift is out of reach.
How long does a stairlift installation take at a Bithlo house?
A straight rail on a standard staircase is typically a same-day job once the unit is on-site. If your staircase curves or has a mid-flight landing, the rail has to be custom-fabricated first, which adds lead time before the crew ever shows up to install.
Does living in a rural part of Orange County slow anything down?
Not really. Bithlo is still inside the Orlando-Kissimmee metro service area, so scheduling and parts logistics run on the same timeline as jobs in Orlando proper — the town's rural character (21.6% of the area's residents live in rural land per the census) doesn't change how fast we can get a crew out.
Does Florida Medicaid pay for a stairlift in Orange County?
It can, through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program's Home Accessibility Adaptation benefit, available to enrollees statewide including Orange County through their LTC managed-care plan. That said, Florida's own AHCA description names grab bars and special toilet seats specifically and doesn't list stairlifts by name, so the honest answer is: it depends on the plan of care. Call the SMMC statewide helpline at 1-877-711-3662 and ask your case manager directly before you count on it.
I'm a veteran in Bithlo — will the VA cover a stairlift?
Not through the HISA grant — that program (up to $6,800 lifetime for a service-connected disability, $2,000 for non-service-connected) explicitly excludes stairlifts even though it covers ramps and grab bars. A stairlift can instead be provided through VA Prosthetics if a VA doctor prescribes it as medically necessary, with no fixed dollar cap. Start that conversation at the Orlando VA Medical Center at Lake Nona, 407-631-1000.
Are there any local Orange County or nonprofit programs that help?
Two worth a call. Senior Resource Alliance runs the Community Care for the Elderly program for this part of the county (PSA 7) at (407) 514-1800, or the Elder Helpline at 1-800-96-ELDER — their service list includes emergency home repair, though stairlifts aren't itemized by name. Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County also runs a home preservation and repair program that references accessibility work; reach them through habitatorlando.org and ask specifically whether stairlifts fall inside their current scope.

Bithlo doesn't get the attention Orlando or Winter Park gets, but it's still Orange County, so our crews and parts reach it on the same schedule as anywhere else in the metro area. What I see most out here is families who own their home outright — homeownership sits at 73.7% — and want a stairlift instead of a mortgage payment or a move into assisted living. That's a different first phone call than the coastal cities, where renters usually ask about the process before they ask about the price.
Ready to get started? It's simple.
Bithlo homeowners and Orange County veterans have counted on us for years. Whether you live in a cinder-block ranch on East Colonial or a split-level in Bithlo Pines, the first step is always the same: a free in-home assessment with a written 30-day quote.
