Homes & Housing Stock
Hanover Township retains historic structures such as the Schortz Old School House (built 1871), while 2010-census data showing 69.1% of households as married couples with a median household size of 2.59 points to a predominantly single-family, suburban housing pattern rather than multi-family development.

Hear It From Your Hanover (Northampton County) Neighbors
The kinds of staircases and installs we see across Hanover (Northampton County)'s older and newer homes alike. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
Luis came out two days after I called, measured the Schoenersville ranch, and gave me a fixed price on the spot. Straight rail went in on a Thursday morning, my dad was riding it that afternoon. He even noticed our basement humidity was high and recommended a dehumidifier — small thing, but you don't expect that from a stairlift installer.
Our 1998 Westgate Hills colonial has a tricky landing turn and 17 ft of run. Luis bent the curved rail in his shop and it fit like it was poured into the staircase. Five weeks measure to install. The Wilkes-Barre VAMC HISA paperwork was already approved when he showed up.
I have a 1942 Hanoverville farmhouse on Jacksonville Road with original wide-plank pine treads and tread rises close to 9 inches. Luis showed me exactly where the bolts go, used the slow-start motor for the steep rise, and left zero damage to the original floor. Six months in and it runs silent — no vibration, no creak.
We needed an outdoor unit on our covered porch in Stoke Park after my dad moved in with us. The IP55 housing handled two back-to-back ice storms this winter without a hiccup. Luis came back after the first hard freeze just to check the rail and tighten one bolt — no charge.
Pennsylvania CHC paperwork was more confusing than I expected. Luis sat at our kitchen table off Township Line Road, walked us through every form, took photos of the stairs, and submitted everything on our behalf. Reimbursement came through in seven weeks — covered most of our straight install. He handles the whole process, not just the hardware.
Heavy-duty unit for my 295-pound husband in our Westgate Hills two-story colonial. Luis spec'd the 600-pound rated model, reinforced the upper landing bracket, and tested it fully loaded with sandbags before we ever got on. Five months later — no settle, no noise, runs exactly as he said it would.

Hanover Township's four villages run north of Bethlehem across 8.4 square miles. Hanoverville on Jacksonville Road holds older farmhouses and 1970s ranches — steep tread rises (8.5+ inches) need a slow-start motor. Schoenersville along Schoenersville Road lines up mid-century split-levels near Lehigh Valley International Airport; stair widths average 34–36 inches, straight rails fit without modification. Stoke Park off Stoke Park Road has 1960s colonials on tree-shaded streets near the Wegmans corridor. Westgate Hills behind the old Westgate Mall site has newer 1990s–2000s two-story colonials that almost always need a curved rail at the upper landing. The Community Center area around Township Line Road sees 1980s split-foyers with carpeted treads. Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem Township, and Lower Nazareth Township also served.

Everything Hanover (Northampton County) 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 run for a typical Hanover Township house?
Most of what I quote here is a straight rail — the split-levels and colonials that make up this township tend to have direct, single-run staircases rather than the turning kind. That keeps the price toward the lower end compared to a curved-rail job. Median household income here was $64,889 as of the last census (family income $72,661), and the PA Assistive Technology Foundation's Mini-Loan covers up to $7,000 at 0% interest, which handles a straight-rail install for a lot of families outright.
Do I have to pay the whole cost up front?
No. If the price runs past what the 0% Mini-Loan covers, PATF's Low-Interest Loan picks up anything over $7,000 at 3.75%, up to $60,000 total, and there's no income cap on it. Between that and the Medicaid and veterans' options below, very few Hanover households pay the full amount out of pocket in one lump sum.
How long does a stairlift take to install in a Hanover Township home?
A straight rail — which is most of what I run into here, given the colonial and split-level stock — usually goes from measurement to working lift in a matter of hours, not days. Curved rails, which I see more in older, turning-staircase towns, take longer because each one is custom-built. Hanover's newer, more uniform housing pattern works in your favor on timeline.
Will the install damage my staircase or trim?
No. The rail bolts to the treads, not the wall, so trim and banisters stay as they are. That matters in a township with structures going back to the 1871 Schortz Old School House era — even in newer homes, nobody wants a contractor tearing into original woodwork for a mobility fix.
Is a stairlift covered by Medicaid in Northampton County?
Yes, through Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) Waiver. It's not a flat dollar amount — a stairlift gets approved as a home adaptation, case-by-case, through your CHC managed care organization (AmeriHealth Caritas, PA Health & Wellness, or UPMC Community HealthChoices) once it's documented as medically necessary and cheaper than the alternative of institutional care. Start with the statewide CHC helpline at 1-833-735-4416.
What if I'm not on Medicaid — is there anything else?
The Northampton County Area Agency on Aging runs the OPTIONS program, which can arrange and help fund in-home supports based on assessed need, sometimes with a sliding-scale cost share. Call them at 610-829-4540 (or 800-322-9269) — they're also the entry point for a functional assessment that can open the door to CHC waiver funding if you qualify later. The Lehigh Valley Center for Independent Living, 610-770-9781, is worth a call too; they handle smaller-scale accessibility modifications and can point you toward programs that cover the up-front cost.
Are there veteran or general home-repair grants that apply here?
For veterans, the VA's Specially Adapted Housing grant goes up to $126,526 and Special Home Adaptation up to $25,350 for FY2026 — a stairlift qualifies if it's part of an approved adaptation plan (1-877-827-3702). For anyone in Northampton County regardless of veteran status, the Pennsylvania Whole-Home Repairs Program covers up to $50,000 per owner-occupied home and specifically funds accessibility work; check current availability with the county at 610-829-6300.

A good share of my Hanover Township jobs start at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest — someone's coming home after a fall or a knee replacement and the family wants the upstairs usable again before discharge day. The township's small, 6.58 square miles split by Monocacy Creek and Catasauqua Creek, and the houses I'm in are almost all the same shape: two-story colonial or split-level, built for the kind of stable, married-with-kids household the 2010 census counted here. Straight staircases, mostly. It keeps the install simple and the family isn't waiting weeks for a custom rail.
Ready to get started? It's simple.
Hanover Township in Northampton County is not Hanover Borough in York County and it is not Hanover Township in Morris County NJ — it's the Lehigh Valley suburb of Bethlehem with four distinct villages and four distinct stair patterns. Hanoverville farmhouses on Jacksonville Road are not Schoenersville ranches off the airport corridor, and Westgate Hills two-story colonials are not Stoke Park 1960s splits. We measure each home in person before quoting a fixed price.
Call for a free in-home assessment in Schoenersville, Hanoverville, Stoke Park, or Westgate Hills — same-week installs available, PA Community HealthChoices and OBRA waiver paperwork handled in-house, VA HISA letters processed through the Allentown VA Clinic at 3110 Hamilton Boulevard and the Wilkes-Barre VAMC at 1111 East End Boulevard.
