Conway's lot lines were drawn around water - the Conway Chain of Lakes cuts through this stretch of southeast Orlando, and a lot of the ranch homes built here between the 1950s and 70s sit on 8,000 to 12,000 square foot lots with a step or two up from the driveway even though the house itself is a single story. About one in five Conway residents is 65 or older, and between those older ranch entries and the newer two-story custom builds going up along the lakefront, we get called out for everything from a short rail at a front stoop to a full curved lift on a real staircase. A stairlift handles either job without touching the house's bones.
Why a stairlift installed in Conway, FL is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
Conway is built around the Conway Chain of Lakes-four interconnected lakes totaling nearly 1,800 acres-in southeast Orlando, giving many parcels lakefront frontage; the community sits at roughly 102 ft elevation about 10-15 minutes from downtown Orlando.
Source ↗Conway's housing stock is dominated by 1950s-1970s ranch-style single-family homes on 8,000-12,000 sq ft lots, a mostly single-story building era that pre-dates modern accessibility codes, plus a mix of 1980s-1990s builder homes and newer custom lakefront builds.
Source ↗Conway is a multi-generational Orlando community within the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro, with a median age of 42.5 and about 17.3% of its roughly 13,600 residents aged 65 or older-a sizable base of long-tenured older homeowners aging in place.

Common situations we get called out for across Conway's neighborhoods. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
We have lived in our two-story in Lake Conway Woods since 1972. The oak stairs were getting dangerous after Mom's stroke — she was gripping both walls just to get upstairs. Luis bolted the rail right into the treads, not the wall, and Mom rides it morning and night now. The seat folds flat and Dad walks right past it carrying the laundry.
Twenty years in the Navy and my back is wrecked. The Orlando VA Medical Center on Veterans Way wrote the HISA prescription and Luis prefilled every form before he left the kitchen table. The grant covered $6,800 and I was riding the lift three weeks after my first call. No runaround, no paperwork maze.
Our two-story in Conway Groves has a staircase with a 90-degree turn at the mid-landing. One competitor wanted to install two separate units — one rail per straight run, transfer in between. Luis scanned the whole run and factory-bent one continuous curved rail. My wife rides from the living room to the upstairs master without stopping. Four months in, zero issues.
Mi madre no habla inglés and I was worried she would not understand the controls. Luis ran the entire visit in Spanish, walked her through every button twice, and left a Spanish-language manual taped right beside the wall switch in our Conway Place ranch. She calls it her ascensor and rides it to her sewing room every afternoon.
Mom needed the lift before the holidays and I live in Tampa. I called Monday, Luis measured Tuesday morning, the crew installed Thursday. The outdoor seat handles the four flagstone porch steps she had not used in three months after a fall. She was on her own screened porch in our Lake Margaret home Friday morning with her coffee for the first time since September.
I use a power wheelchair full-time and a regular stairlift was never going to work. Luis installed a platform lift along the indoor stairway in our Nela Isle home with yellow safety edges so I can see exactly where to roll on. HISA and SMMC-LTC together covered the full cost. I ride between floors without leaving my chair.

Conway Stairlift Specialist · 15+ years of experience

From the 1960s concrete-block ranches in Lake Conway Woods off Hoffner Avenue to the waterfront homes of Lake Conway Estates south of Conway Road, our crew has measured staircases in every part of Conway. Conway Groves and Conway Place sit along Gatlin Avenue with mid-century floor plans and terrazzo-over-concrete treads that need masonry anchors. Nela Isle and the Lake Margaret pocket east of the Conway Chain hold post-war bungalows on quiet residential streets. Newer infill near the Orange County line has wider treads and open floor plans that simplify every install. The Simmons Kennedy subdivision off Simmons Road is two-story stock with finished landings.

Straight stairlifts for the single-story ranch homes that dominate Conway's older streets usually land toward the lower end of the price range, since there's typically just one flight or a short interior run to cover. Conway's homeownership rate is 84.7%, so most of the people who call us own the house outright or are close to it, and given the area's premium property values around the lakes, pricing here tends to run at the higher end of what you'd see statewide.
Yes. The newer custom builds going up around the Conway Chain of Lakes often have open, curved, or split staircases designed around the water view, and that kind of stair needs a track custom-measured and fabricated to its exact shape - a different manufacturing process than the straight rail we'd put into a 1960s ranch, and it costs more accordingly.
Most straight-rail jobs in Conway's older ranch homes are done in a few hours - the rail mounts to the stair treads themselves, not the wall, so there's no drywall to open up. A curved track for one of the newer lakefront staircases takes longer, since the rail is custom-built off a template we take on-site first, then installed on a second visit once it's fabricated.
No. The rail attaches to the treads of the stairs, not the wall or the railing, so if your Conway home has a wood or wrought-iron rail facing the water, it stays exactly as it is. If the lift is ever removed, the stairs go back to normal - no patched drywall, no refinished wood.
It can, but confirm before you count on it. Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC LTC) includes a Home Accessibility Adaptation benefit administered case-by-case through your managed-care plan, with no fixed dollar cap - it's authorized per the member's plan of care. The catch is that the state's own consumer description of this benefit names grab bars and special toilet seats, not stairlifts specifically, so call the SMMC helpline at 1-877-711-3662 and ask your plan's case manager directly.
Yes, but through VA Prosthetics, not the HISA grant. The Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) benefit - $6,800 lifetime for a service-connected disability, $2,000 for non-service-connected - covers ramps, doorway widening, and roll-in showers, but it specifically excludes stairlifts. A stairlift itself is covered separately as a prescribed prosthetic item with no fixed dollar cap, arranged through the Orlando VA Medical Center at Lake Nona, 407-631-1000.
FAAST's New Horizon Loan Program is a low-interest option open to Florida residents, generally running somewhere in the $3,000 to $30,000 range depending on the project - it's a loan, not a grant, so confirm current terms directly with FAAST. Some Conway homeowners also use Florida's senior additional homestead exemption, up to $50,000 on top of the standard $50,000 exemption, to free up cash flow for a project like this, even though that's tax relief rather than direct funding.
Conway Stairlift Specialist · 15+ yrs
I've worked a fair number of these Conway Chain of Lakes properties, and the pattern's pretty consistent - the older ranch houses usually have that one stubborn entry step or a sunken family room, while the newer custom lakefront homes actually have real staircases built for the view. Either way, I'm not tearing out railings or pouring new concrete; the rail bolts to the stair treads or the existing threshold. Conway families tend to stay in these houses a long time, so we build the install for the long haul, not a quick patch.
