About Citrus Hills
What makes Citrus Hills different
Why a stairlift installed in Citrus Hills, FL is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
Homes & Housing Stock
The community is anchored by The Villages of Citrus Hills, a master-planned residential development first laid out in the 1970s by Gerald Nash and Sam Tamposi.
Source ↗
The Community
It is a retirement destination where 55.7% of residents were 65 or older (2020 census) with a median age of 67.3, and its population grew about 131% from 2000 to 2020.

Luis measured the curved staircase in our Terra Vista home — two landings and a 90-degree turn, all tile treads. He told us three weeks for the custom rail and exactly what it would cost, then it went in over one morning. It's quiet and the seat tucks out of the way.
We have a bonus-room loft above the garage in Hampton Hills. Luis measured on a Tuesday and installed that Friday. The straight rail bolts right to the treads, the ride is smooth, and you'd barely notice it when the seat is folded up.
I worried the Florida sun and afternoon storms would ruin an outdoor lift on our lanai steps in Clearview Estates. It's been sealed and trouble-free through one full summer. Luis explained the weather rating before we bought.
I'm a Vietnam veteran and Luis walked me through the HISA grant step by step. It took about eight weeks for the VA to approve, but it covered the full $6,800 and he handled the Form 10-0103. The straight lift on our Emerald Estates stairs has been flawless.
My husband uses a power chair and weighs about 320 pounds, so Luis recommended the 600 lb-rated model instead of a standard seat. He fit it to our Pine Ridge two-story, and the reinforced rail doesn't flex at all. Worth every dollar.
Dad put off a stairlift for two years because he thought it would wreck the staircase. Luis showed him the bolts only leave pencil-size holes in the treads. The straight rail on our Celina Hills oak stairs looks like it belongs there.

We cover all fourteen Citrus Hills villages. Terra Vista and Hampton Hills homes tend to have wide, open stairs with tile or engineered-wood treads — ideal for a straight rail. Pine Ridge and Fox Run sit on one-to-seven-acre lots with custom two-story plans, where landings often call for a curved rail. Celina Hills, Clearview Estates, Emerald Estates, and Canterbury Lake Estates mix split-levels and ranch-with-loft layouts. Beyond the gates we also serve nearby Hernando, Lecanto, Inverness, and Beverly Hills in Citrus County, with no travel fees anywhere in the county.

Everything Citrus Hills 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 typically cost for a Citrus Hills home?
Straight-rail installs cost less because it's one length of track, no custom bends. Citrus Hills runs toward the premium end of the county's housing market, and most of the stock inside the Villages of Citrus Hills was built as single-family retirement housing, so lot layouts and staircase configurations vary more than you'd guess from the street. We don't quote by phone — an in-home measurement gives you a real number, not a range that may not fit your stairs.
Is a stairlift a better financial move than moving somewhere single-level?
For most households we talk to here, yes. Homeownership in Citrus Hills runs about 92%, meaning almost everybody already owns free and clear, and this community's population grew roughly 131% between 2000 and 2020 specifically because people moved here to retire and stay. Selling, moving, and re-buying costs far more than even a curved-rail stairlift, and it pulls you out of a house — and a community — you picked for retirement in the first place.
How long does a stairlift installation take in a Citrus Hills home?
A straight staircase is typically a half-day job. If your home is inside the original Villages of Citrus Hills section — platted in the 1970s by developers Gerald Nash and Sam Tamposi — the staircase may not match a modern builder's standard dimensions, so we measure on-site first and fabricate the rail to your exact stairs rather than guessing from a catalog size.
Will the install damage my stairs or require construction work?
No. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall, so it doesn't matter whether your home is a newer build or an older Villages of Citrus Hills property from the '70s or '80s. No drywall repair, no structural changes — the crew is in and out the same day for a standard straight run.
Does Florida Medicaid cover a stairlift for a Citrus County resident?
Possibly, through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program as a Home Accessibility Adaptation — but Florida's consumer materials don't name stairlifts specifically, so approval runs case-by-case through your managed-care plan. Call 1-800-963-5337 and ask your case manager directly rather than assuming either way.
Can a veteran in Citrus Hills get VA funding for a stairlift?
Not through the HISA grant — VA regulations explicitly exclude stair glides and stairlifts as "removable equipment," regardless of the $6,800 service-connected or $2,000 non-service-connected caps. What can cover a stairlift is the separate VA Prosthetics benefit, which has no fixed dollar limit when a physician prescribes it as medically necessary. Start that conversation at 1-800-827-1000.
What other help is available for a Citrus Hills homeowner who needs a stairlift?
Elder Options, the Area Agency on Aging for this region, has an office in Lecanto that serves Citrus County (1-800-262-2243) — they don't fund stairlifts directly, but their case managers know what's currently available and can point you in the right direction. If you'd rather borrow than wait on a grant, FAAST's New Horizon Loan Program offers roughly $3,000–$30,000 at low interest for home modifications, stairlifts included. And Florida's Homestead plus Senior Additional Homestead Exemption won't hand you cash, but it can shave up to $50,000 — plus another $50,000 for qualifying seniors — off your taxable home value, money that stays in your pocket instead of going to the county.

Citrus Hills is one of the highest-need areas I work in Citrus County — a place where more than half the residents were 65 or older at the last census and the median age is past 67. Homeownership runs about 92% out here, so nearly everyone I talk to owns the house outright and wants to stay, not downsize. A lot of the original housing stock inside the Villages of Citrus Hills, the section platted back in the '70s, is now on its second or third owner, which means we're measuring 40- and 50-year-old staircases, not something off a current builder's spec sheet.
Ready to get started? It's simple.
Citrus Hills was built for an active retirement — golf, the Skyview clubhouse, resort amenities — but nearly every two-story home here still has a staircase that gets harder with a bad knee or a balance scare. A stairlift keeps the upstairs bedroom and the bonus-room loft in play instead of forcing a downstairs-only routine.
