Expert Stairlift Installation in Brick, NJ

Straight rails are 2-4 hours on-site. We arrive, confirm measurements, bolt the rail into your stair treads (never the wall), mount the seat, test every safety sensor, and walk you through the controls. Curved rails take 10-14 days for fabrication after the initial laser scan, but install day itself is under five hours. No overnight workers, no drywall dust, no mess in your living room.

No. The mounting brackets sit on top of the carpet and compress it slightly at the bolt points, but the carpet rebounds when the rail is removed. We've installed in dozens of Lions Head South, Lions Head North, Cedar Village, and Winding River Village homes with padded wall-to-wall carpet — not a single claim for carpet damage. If you sell the home later and remove the lift, the carpet underneath looks the same.

Most 55+ communities in Brick — Lions Head South, Lions Head North, Cedar Village, Greenbriar II, The Pavilion, Winding River Village — require board notification before installation. Under the NJ Law Against Discrimination (N.J.S.A. 10:5-1) and the federal Fair Housing Act, boards must permit reasonable accessibility accommodations for residents with documented medical need. We provide the documentation packet and architectural drawings for board review at no charge. Approval typically takes 3-7 business days.

Yes, and this is one of our most common installs in Brick. The 1960s-1970s split-levels throughout Herbertsville, Laurelton, and the neighborhoods around Drum Point almost always have a mid-landing with a 90-degree turn. We digitally scan the staircase on the first visit, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the foyer to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and add a swivel-exit seat at the top. One ride, no transfers, no stepping off onto the top tread.

Yes, through NJ Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). Stairlifts qualify as Environmental Accessibility Adaptations under the HCBS waiver. You must be enrolled in NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid, assessed at nursing-facility level of care, and enrolled with one of the four MLTSS managed care organizations — Aetna, Horizon, UnitedHealthcare, or Wellpoint. Plan of Care authorization typically takes 30-45 days. We're credentialed with all four NJ MLTSS plans. Call your Care Manager and give them our name — we handle the prior-authorization paperwork.

The James J. Howard VA Outpatient Clinic on Route 70 closed permanently in October 2024. All Ocean County veterans are now served by the Leonard G. Lomell VA Clinic at 1055 Hooper Avenue in Toms River — a larger, better-equipped facility with expanded services. The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from your VA provider at the Toms River clinic. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate with the HISA coordinator directly. Typical turnaround is 3-6 weeks.

Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) is designed for exactly that situation — NJ residents age 60+ who earn too much for Medicaid but still need financial help staying at home. JACC covers home modification costs including stairlifts as Environmental Accessibility Adaptations within an approved care plan. Eligibility requires income below 365% of federal poverty level and a clinical assessment through the Ocean County Office on Aging. Initial assessment typically takes 45-60 days. We handle the vendor paperwork with your assigned Care Manager.

Yes — three lending partners with 0% APR for qualified buyers and low fixed-rate plans from $79/month. Application is a soft credit pull (no hit to your score), takes about four minutes, and approval is usually instant. Many Brick families combine financing with the IRS medical deduction or a partial HISA grant to bring the monthly out-of-pocket down further. We walk you through the math during the free assessment — on paper, not a tablet screen.
