About Wapello County

County-wide stairlift service from Ottumwa to the river towns

Wapello County sits in southeast Iowa, where the Des Moines River splits county seat Ottumwa into north and south halves and ties together small towns like Eddyville, Eldon and Agency. Many homes here are older two-story and split-level builds with steep stairs, and Iowa winters bring snow and sub-zero stretches that make icy outdoor steps a real hazard — so we fit both indoor stairlifts and weather-rated outdoor units.

We cover the whole county from a single local crew, so a rural address near Blakesburg or Kirkville pays no more in travel than a home in town. We work with seniors aging in place and with veterans, and we help document funding requests so the cost stays manageable.

Frequently Asked

Wapello County stairlift questions answered

Straight answers from a crew that installs across Wapello County every week.

How much does a stairlift cost in Wapello County?
Straight stairlifts start at $2,800 installed. Curved lifts, which are custom-built to your staircase, run about $9,000. A weather-rated outdoor lift for a porch or deck is around $4,000, and a heavy-duty model with a higher weight capacity is about $5,050. We give you a flat written quote after the free in-home assessment — no hidden county travel fees. Financing is available from $79 per month.
Do you really serve the small towns, not just Ottumwa?
Yes. We cover every community in Wapello County — Eddyville, Eldon, Agency, Kirkville and Blakesburg as well as Ottumwa. A rural acreage outside town gets the same flat pricing and the same crew as a home in the county seat. There is no separate service area or surcharge for the smaller towns.
What funding helps pay for a stairlift here?
Several options exist. The Iowa Medicaid HCBS Elderly Waiver can cover stairlifts as an Environmental Accessibility Adaptation for qualifying members. Veterans may use a VA HISA grant of up to $6,800 through the Wapello County Veterans Affairs office. Rural homeowners 62 and older may qualify for a USDA Section 504 grant up to $10,000. We help prepare the contractor quote each program requires.
Is there a travel fee for rural addresses?
No. We charge flat county-wide coverage, so a home near Blakesburg, Kirkville or out on the county roads pays the same as one in Ottumwa. Travel is built into our pricing — your written quote is the full price.
How fast can you install?
A straight stairlift is usually installed within about 48 hours of your assessment, often the same week. Curved lifts take longer because each rail is custom-built to your staircase, typically a couple of weeks from final measurement. Outdoor lifts fall in between. We schedule around Iowa winter weather so installs stay on track.
How do we get started?
Call (800) 965-0350 to book a free in-home assessment anywhere in Wapello County. We measure your staircase, recommend the right lift, and give you a flat written quote with financing options from $79 per month. If you plan to use Medicaid waiver, VA or USDA funding, we will prepare the documentation those programs need.
