Memorial Healthcare System employs roughly 4,124 people right here in Hollywood, and it's no accident that 18.1% of the city's residents are 65 or older -- a lot of local families end up thinking about aging in place sooner than they planned. Hollywood's older neighborhoods, laid out back in the Joseph Young era with two-story homes near the man-made lakes and the Intracoastal, weren't designed with anyone's knees or hips in mind. A stairlift is usually the straightforward fix -- it keeps people in the house they already know instead of forcing a move.
Why a stairlift installed in Hollywood, FL is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
Hollywood covers about 30.78 square miles at a low 13 ft elevation and includes roughly 5 to 6 miles of Atlantic Ocean beach, with water making up 11.23% of its area and the Intracoastal Waterway running through it.
Source ↗Founded by Joseph Young in the 1920s, Hollywood was laid out with man-made lakes, yacht basins connected to the Intracoastal Waterway, and a landmark beach hotel; by 1960 the city had more than 12,170 single-family homes plus over 2,400 hotel units.

Stairlift Types
Bestseller
The standard for Hollywood's postwar ranches, Hollywood Hills colonials, and Emerald Hills two-stories. Over 65% of the stairlifts we install across Hollywood are straight rails. The rail bolts to your stair treads — never into the wall, never into your banister — the seat and footrest fold flat, and the battery backup keeps you moving through the next summer thunderstorm outage. Most Hollywood ranch and two-story installs finish in under four hours. Works on hardwood, terrazzo landings, and deep-pile carpet alike.
vs Curved: 3x less expensive and installed in one visit. vs Home elevator: 10-15x less cost and no construction. vs Moving bedroom downstairs: Keeps your home exactly as it is.
Custom-Built
Custom-fabricated for Emerald Hills split-levels, Hollywood Lakes multi-landing homes, and 1970s Broward ranch turns. When your staircase has a turn, a mid-landing, or a split — the rail has to be manufactured to your exact geometry. This is the most common need in Emerald Hills and the older Hollywood Hills subdivisions where 1960s and 1970s split-level homes almost always have a 90° landing. We laser-scan on the first visit, fabricate the curved rail in 10-14 days, and install in a single afternoon. One continuous ride, no transfers between separate lifts.
vs Straight with landing break: One smooth ride instead of transferring seats. vs Home elevator: Half the cost, no construction permits, no shaft needed. vs Moving: A fraction of what selling and relocating costs.
Weather-Tough
Salt air, hurricane season, and 95% humidity — sealed and rated for south Broward's climate. Every outdoor component is sealed against Broward County's salt-laden humidity, UV-coated for the year-round Florida sun, and the motor housing carries an IP55 rating for the afternoon storms that hit south Florida from May through October. We add stainless-steel fasteners on every coastal install within 5 miles of the Atlantic and anchor through paver or concrete footers into poured slab. Built for raised front porches in Parkside, Hollywood Lakes, and Dania Beach.
vs Standard stairlift outdoors: Won't rust, seize, or void its warranty. vs Exterior ramp: No permits, no concrete work, no lost yard. vs Home entry renovation: Installed in a single day.
400 lb Rated
Reinforced frame, wider seat, and 600 lb capacity — built for comfort beyond the standard limit. The reinforced frame handles up to 600 lbs with a 22-inch padded seat — wider than any standard model. Popular with Hollywood families caring for parents who need more room, and for post-surgical recovery patients from Memorial Regional Hospital and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital campus where high-volume hip and knee replacements send patients home to Broward County homes with stairs. Installs in a single day with the same battery backup and 10-year warranty.
vs Standard stairlift: Extra capacity and wider seat for maximum comfort. vs Custom furniture lift: A fraction of the price with faster install. vs Home elevator: Much lower cost with the same weight confidence.

How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in Hollywood. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
Our 1950s Hollywood Lakes ranch has original terrazzo and an iron railing I wasn't about to let anyone damage. The All American crew bolted the rail into the stair treads only — didn't touch the wall, didn't touch the railing, didn't scratch the terrazzo at the landing. My husband rode it upstairs the same afternoon and I didn't have to set up the living room as a bedroom anymore.
We called four companies about our Emerald Hills split-level. Three said we'd need two lifts. All American scanned the whole staircase, built one curved rail, and my father rides from the foyer to the bedrooms in a single trip. He's 86 and hasn't missed a day upstairs since February. The crew spoke Creole with my parents, which none of the other companies even offered.
I'm a disabled Army vet and I use a power wheelchair. All American installed a platform lift inside my home and handled every piece of the HISA paperwork through the Hollywood VA Clinic on Sheridan Street. From first call to working lift was five weeks. I've dealt with VA paperwork for 30 years and this was the smoothest process I've ever had with any contractor.
My mother lives alone in Beverly Park and fell on her carpeted stairs twice last year. Her doctor at Memorial Regional told her she was one fall away from assisted living. All American installed a straight rail in three hours on a Wednesday. Mom called me that night — first time she'd slept in her own upstairs bedroom in four months.
Outdoor lift on our front porch in Parkside. Seven stone steps my wife couldn't do anymore after her stroke. It's been through a full hurricane season, daily thunderstorms, the worst humidity Broward throws at anything metal — and it runs like the day they installed it. Not a single service call in nine months.
I live in New York and was trying to arrange this for my father in Hollywood Hills. Luis did the home assessment on FaceTime so I could see every measurement and ask questions in real time. The quote arrived by email that afternoon — written, line-itemized, honored for 30 days. Dad was installed the following week. That kind of transparency is rare in any industry, let alone home modification.

From the 1940s ranches of Hollywood Lakes — the city's original historic district where terrazzo floors, iron railings, and coral stone walls are non-negotiable to preserve — to the 1960s split-levels in Emerald Hills where the 90° landing turn is our most common measurement in south Broward, our team knows every staircase in this city. We know which Hollywood Hills subdivisions have the cottage-style stone accent walls, which Beverly Park two-stories have deep-pile carpet hiding uneven treads, and which Liberia and Parkside homes need a bilingual Creole walkthrough. We also cover Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, Pembroke Park, and West Park — no crew driving from Pompano or Miami.

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.
A straight rail for a standard single flight typically runs somewhere in the $2,500-$4,500 range installed; curved rails, which a fair number of Hollywood's older 1920s-30s two-story homes need because of how the original staircases were framed, cost more since the rail is custom-bent to the stairwell. Hollywood sits in a premium-cost part of the Broward market, so it's worth getting a couple of in-home quotes rather than pricing off a national average.
Generally no. Traditional Medicare classifies stairlifts as a home modification, not durable medical equipment, so it isn't covered, and homeowner's insurance doesn't treat accessibility upgrades as a covered loss. Some Medicare Advantage plans have started adding limited home-modification allowances, so it's worth a call to the specific plan before ruling it out.
Most jobs finish in one to two days once the staircase has been measured. Homes closer to the older sections of the city -- the ones tracing back to Hollywood's founding by Joseph Young in the 1920s -- often have narrower, less standard stairwells than newer construction, so the measuring visit matters more here than it would in a subdivision built in the last twenty years.
Yes. Curved rail systems are built to match the exact shape of the stairway, which comes up often in Hollywood given how many homes were built in waves going back to the mid-20th century (the city already had more than 12,170 single-family homes by 1960). A curved rail costs more than a straight one and takes a bit longer to fabricate, but it's a routine job, not a special case.
Possibly, through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program's Home Accessibility Adaptation benefit. The state's own consumer description names things like grab bars and a special toilet seat as examples and rules out major work like new carpeting or plumbing systems, but it doesn't explicitly rule stairlifts in or out -- coverage comes down to what's in your individual plan of care. Call 1-800-963-5337 and ask your case manager directly rather than guessing.
The VA's HISA grant (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) specifically excludes stair glides, so that program won't cover it -- HISA money is for structural changes like widening doorways, not equipment like a lift. What can cover a stairlift is the VA Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service, which can furnish one when it's medically prescribed, with no fixed dollar cap tied to that authority. Call 1-800-827-1000 to start that conversation, since it's a different process than applying for HISA.
Their Home Repair Program funds carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and similar minor repairs needed for health and safety, delivered through contracted providers -- the Home Touch Program and Rebuilding Together Broward. Stairlifts aren't named on their public program page, so don't assume either way; call 954-745-9779 and ask whether a lift falls under what their contracted providers can currently take on.

I've put lifts in a fair number of the older single-family homes on the beach side and around the Intracoastal -- Hollywood's housing stock dates back to the 1920s and 30s in spots, and those staircases run narrower than what you'll find in newer construction west of I-95. That changes the rail measurements more than most homeowners expect going in. Most installs here wrap up in one to two days once we've measured, and I always tell people not to assume Medicaid is a no before they've actually called -- SMMC LTC decisions get made case by case, not by a blanket rule.
