Blooming Grove Township grew almost overnight by Pocono standards — the population nearly tripled between 1980 and 2000, from 1,176 to 3,621, as the Hemlock Farms vacation-home development and similar lake communities like Pocono Mountain Lake Estates filled in with year-round residents. A lot of that housing went up as second-home construction, not built with an aging owner in mind, and by 2010 the township had 3,971 units spread across 77 square miles of hilly, wooded ground at around 1,194 feet. We put stairlifts into these homes regularly now that the generation who bought them as weekend places is aging in place here full-time.
Why a stairlift installed in Blooming Grove, PA is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
The 77-square-mile township sits in the Pocono Mountains region of northeastern Pike County at about 1,194 feet elevation, near communities named Pocono Mountain Lake Estates and Pocono Ranch Lands that reflect its lake-and-woods terrain.

We bought a lake home in Hemlock Farms and the main staircase had a 90-degree turn at the landing. Luis came out, laser-measured everything in about an hour, and the curved rail fit like it was made for the house — because it was. My mother-in-law uses it every day now without a single issue. From phone call to install was under two weeks.
Our raised ranch on Blooming Grove Road had those narrow 1970s oak stairs — 13 steps straight up. Luis showed up on a Tuesday and finished by lunch. No wall damage, no mess, no drama. My husband had a hip replaced and couldn't do stairs for six weeks; this lift saved us from setting up a hospital bed in the living room.
The cottage stairs at Pecks Pond were terrifying — steep, narrow, tile treads with no handrail on one side. Luis measured the tight clearance and got a straight rail in that I was sure wouldn't fit. Four hours later my dad was riding up to the loft bedroom.
Lake Wallenpaupack winters convinced us we needed the outdoor lift. Our Tafton house has six flagstone steps from the driveway to the porch — they turn into a skating rink by January. Luis put in an outdoor unit with full weather sealing, and it's made it through two winters now without a problem.
After Dad's hip surgery we needed a lift fast — he was stuck downstairs in the Greentown colonial. Luis came the next day, measured the carpeted stairs, and had the straight rail installed within the same week. Dad's back upstairs in his own bedroom now.
Our son uses a wheelchair and we needed the platform lift, not a seat. Luis brought the flat-deck unit with the yellow safety edges and had it running in about five hours. He rolls on at the bottom himself, rides up, and transfers at the top — independent for the first time.

Comes down to the staircase, same as anywhere, but the local housing mix skews the answer some. A good share of the township's housing went up as vacation-home construction during the '80s-'90s boom around Hemlock Farms, and those places are more likely to have a split-level layout or an extra half-flight than a standard two-story build, which pushes toward the curved-rail end of the range.
The stairlift itself is priced off the staircase, not the zip code — but Blooming Grove does sit in a premium affordability band with 83.7% homeownership, so most people I quote here are financing or paying out of pocket rather than shopping the cheapest unit available. That's where the CHC Waiver's roughly $4,000 lifetime cap on home adaptations, or PATF's 0% loan on amounts up to $7,000 (interest financing up to $60,000 total), tend to matter more than the sticker price does.
For a straight run, yes — it knocks a real amount off the price and holds up fine. It gets harder with the split-level and multi-landing layouts common in the vacation-home-era construction out here; a used curved rail rarely matches a staircase it wasn't built for, so those jobs usually end up custom either way.
A straight rail in a standard two-story house is usually a half-day job. Houses built during the 1980s-2000s boom around Hemlock Farms and Pocono Mountain Lake Estates more often have a split level or a landing partway up, and that adds time to both the initial measuring visit and the install itself.
A little. The township sits around 1,194 feet in the Pocono foothills, and a lot of homes were built with a raised or walk-out entry to work with the slope, which sometimes means the staircase is shorter than in flatland construction but steeper. We adjust the rail angle and carriage speed for that — it doesn't move the timeline much on its own.
Yes, and it's actually more common here than in a typical single-family subdivision, since a lot of Blooming Grove's housing stock was designed as a getaway property with a more dramatic stairwell than a standard build. Each curved rail gets custom-measured to that one staircase, so plan on a longer lead time than a straight-rail job.
Yes, if you're already enrolled. Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices Medicaid waiver covers stairlifts under its Home Adaptations / Accessibility Adaptations benefit, with a commonly cited cap around $4,000 per person over your lifetime — confirm the exact figure with your CHC managed care organization, since it hasn't been re-verified this round. Call the CHC Participant Hotline at 1-833-735-4416 or PA Office of Long-Term Living at 1-800-757-5042 to start.
The OPTIONS Program, PA's state-funded home services program for seniors 60 and up, lists "adaptations to the home to improve safety and accessibility" as a covered service, administered locally through the Pike County AAA at 150 Pike County Blvd in Hawley. There's no published fixed cap — it's case-by-case with a possible sliding-scale co-pay, and Medicaid or other insurance has to be tried first — so call the AAA directly at 570-775-5550 or 1-800-233-8911 to get assessed.
Not through the HISA grant — stair lifts and stair glides are explicitly excluded from that benefit, which otherwise caps at $6,800 (service-connected) or $2,000 (non-service-connected) for other structural work. The better route is VA Prosthetic & Sensory Aids, which has no fixed dollar cap when a stairlift is medically prescribed, and for more severely rated veterans a lift can sometimes get folded into a broader Specially Adapted Housing project, up to $126,526. Start with the VA facility locator or 1-800-827-1000.
Blooming Grove Stairlift Specialist · 15+ yrs
I see a lot of split-level and multi-story vacation homes out toward Hemlock Farms and Pocono Ranch Lands — places built for weekend use in the '80s and '90s that never planned on someone needing a lift to the bedroom level at 75. With over a third of Blooming Grove's residents now 65 or older and homeownership sitting near 84%, most of my calls here aren't renters weighing options — they're owners who bought the place outright decades ago and have no intention of leaving. The terrain's hilly enough that a lot of these houses have an extra half-flight or a raised entry, which changes the measuring conversation before I even get to the rail.
