Cherry Hill Mall opened in 1961 as the first enclosed shopping mall on the East Coast, and the township that grew up around it is still mostly mid-century split-levels and colonials rather than an old walkable downtown — flat, low-lying ground at around 39 feet, with the Cooper River running along the south edge. Those split-level floor plans put a half-flight of stairs right at the front door of a lot of Cherry Hill homes, which is usually the first place we get called to measure for a stairlift.
Why a stairlift installed in Cherry Hill, NJ is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
Cherry Hill spans 24.20 square miles of largely flat terrain at about 39 feet elevation, bounded by Pennsauken Creek to the east and the Cooper River to the south, and dotted with more than 50 municipal public parks.

Source ↗Cherry Hill is home to the headquarters of TD Bank, N.A. (among the largest U.S. banks by deposits), Melitta USA, and the Courier-Post newspaper; the 2010 median household income was $88,183, marking an affluent suburban community.

From the Cape Cods of Erlton along Haddonfield Road — where narrow original treads and steep risers demand the slim-profile rail — to the Barclay Farm colonials and raised-ranch Winthrop models where the split-level entry is the most common staircase geometry we measure in Cherry Hill. We know which Kingston Estates mid-century colonials have the standard straight run that installs before lunch, which Woodcrest split-levels built in 1958 have the landing turn that only works with a curved rail, and which Greentree developments along Brace Road have the raised ranch entry where an outdoor rail makes more sense than the interior option. Springdale and Ashland homes south of Route 70 have newer code-compliant stairs that go in fast.

Common situations we get called out for across Cherry Hill's neighborhoods. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
Our Barclay Farm split-level has that landing right inside the front door — every other company told us we'd need two separate lifts. Luis scanned the staircase, fabricated one curved rail, and installed it in a single afternoon. My mother rides from the foyer to the kitchen in one smooth trip.
I live in a 1952 Cape Cod in Erlton and the stairs are narrow — really narrow. Two companies told me a stairlift wouldn't fit without tearing out the banister. Luis brought the slim-profile rail, mounted it against the wall, and left the open side of the stairway completely passable.
My father is a Korean War vet and the front steps of his Greentree ranch were becoming impossible after his second hip surgery. Luis prefilled the HISA paperwork, walked it through the Philadelphia VA, and had the outdoor lift installed in under five weeks.
We needed the lift before my father-in-law's discharge from Jefferson Cherry Hill after a stroke. All American measured on Tuesday, rush-fabricated the curved rail in ten days, and installed the morning he came home.
I called three companies about my Kingston Estates colonial. Two gave me a range over the phone without seeing the house. All American drove out the next morning, measured every tread, and left me with a written quote — not an estimate, not a range, a number.
My mother lives alone in Springdale and her NJ FamilyCare plan covers the stairlift through MLTSS. I had no idea how to handle the prior-authorization paperwork — All American handled every form, every phone call to the managed care plan, and coordinated with my mother's Care Manager directly.

Split-levels are common in Cherry Hill, and most of them only need a straight rail for that short flight between the garage level and the main floor — straight stairlifts generally run in the lower end of the market nationally. A two-story colonial with a turn or a mid-landing needs a curved rail built to that exact staircase, which costs more because it's custom-fabricated rather than off-the-shelf.
Sometimes. The custom-built homes in Cherry Hill's newer luxury pockets often have wider staircases, taller rises, or double landings compared to the 1950s-60s tract housing, and any of those can push a curved-rail quote higher since the rail is measured and built to the specific staircase, not a standard template.
For a short, single straight run — like the half-flight in a typical Cherry Hill split-level — a straight stairlift is already the lower-cost category compared to curved units, and it's usually installed in a few hours with no structural changes to the stairs themselves.
A straight stairlift on one of the split-level short flights common in Cherry Hill is typically a same-day job. A curved rail for a colonial with a turned staircase takes longer up front because the rail has to be custom-measured and fabricated before the crew ever shows up to install it.
Most of the time, no — stairlifts mount to the treads, not the wall, so the mid-century staircases throughout Cherry Hill's housing stock generally don't need carpentry work first. The exception is unusually narrow landings, which show up more in the older pocket homes than in the newer custom builds.
Yes — the stairlift itself mounts to the stair treads well above floor level, so it isn't affected by the low, flat terrain along the Cooper River and Pennsauken Creek edges of the township. If a home has a basement entry near those areas, that's a separate conversation from the stairlift install itself.
Not published as covered. Camden County's Home Improvement Program (HIP) offers up to $20,000 as a 0%-interest deferred loan repaid when the home sells, but the brochure scope is code violations that are "dangerous or injurious to occupants" — heating, plumbing, electrical, roofing — not accessibility equipment by name. It might be approvable at the inspector's discretion; call Community Development at (856) 374-6151 or the CCIA at (856) 751-2242 before counting on it.
Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) is the state program most Cherry Hill seniors who aren't on Medicaid should look at first — it caps out at $929.88 a month, or $11,158.56 a year, toward home modifications. If a resident is on NJ Medicaid MLTSS instead, stairlifts can be covered through the HCBS Plan of Care with no fixed dollar cap, just approval tied to medical need.
Yes. The VA's HISA grant pays up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans or $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans toward structural home modifications, and a stairlift itself can be supplied separately through VA Prosthetics with no set dollar cap when it's medically prescribed. Neither of Camden County's local ramp or repair programs — the RAMP/CDBG ramp program or the SCUCS equipment closet — cover stairlifts, so veterans should start with the VA benefit, not the county.
Cherry Hill Stairlift Specialist · 15+ yrs
A lot of the split-levels near the Cherry Hill Mall corridor have that awkward short staircase between the garage and the living room, and homeowners are always surprised a straight rail handles it just fine — it's the two-story colonials with a turn at the landing that need a curved unit and more lead time. I tell people in this township to call before they assume Camden County's Home Improvement Program will cover it, because the published scope is code violations, not accessibility equipment, even though it's up to $20,000.
