Expert Stairlift Installation in Jeffersontown, KY

A straight stairlift install in Jeffersontown takes about 3 hours from start to finish. Curved lifts take 4–6 hours, depending on the number of turns. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads — no drywall work, no structural changes, no rewiring. The lift plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet. Luis cleans up the work area before he leaves and runs the lift through a full test cycle with you or your family member sitting in it.

No. The rail mounts to the treads with bolts — not to the wall, not to the drywall. If you have the oak or hardwood stairs common in many Jeffersontown homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, the bolt holes are small and can be filled later if the lift is ever removed. The rail sits about 3 inches above the tread nosing, so it does not contact the stair surface itself. The seat folds up when not in use to keep the staircase passable.

Yes. The older houses near Gaslight Square and along Watterson Trail — some built in the early 1900s — often have staircases as narrow as 28–30 inches. We use a slimline rail profile that fits these tighter spaces. The seat folds up to about 14 inches deep when parked, so other family members can still use the stairs. Luis will measure the exact width during the assessment and confirm fit before ordering anything.

Yes — we install outdoor stairlifts on front porch steps, back decks, and garage entry stairs throughout Jeffersontown. These units are IP55-rated for weather resistance, with sealed electronics and corrosion-treated rail and seat that handle everything from the freeze-thaw cycles of December through February to the humid summers. Snow and ice will not damage the lift, though we do recommend clearing heavy snow off the rail before use, the same way you would clear your steps.

Yes — through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Veterans with a service-connected disability can receive up to $6,800 for a medically necessary stairlift. Veterans with a non-service-connected condition can receive up to $2,000. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never has to be repaid. Your VA primary care provider must write a prescription or medical-necessity statement. Jeffersontown veterans can get this through the Stonybrook VA Clinic at 9208 Taylorsville Road (about 5 minutes from central Jeffersontown) or the Robley Rex VA Medical Center at 800 Zorn Avenue in Louisville.

The process has two steps. First, schedule an appointment with your VA primary care provider — at the Stonybrook VA Clinic on Taylorsville Road or the Robley Rex VA Medical Center on Zorn Avenue — and request a medical-necessity evaluation for a stairlift. Second, once you have the prescription, the VA prosthetics department processes the HISA grant application. We can help coordinate with the VA once you have your medical documentation. The grant is paid directly to the provider — meaning All American Stairlifts — so you are never out of pocket for the covered amount.

Yes — through the Home and Community Based (HCB) Waiver, a 1915(c) Medicaid program administered by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The HCB Waiver serves adults 65 and older and adults with physical disabilities who need nursing-facility-level care but want to stay in their own home. Covered services include environmental and minor home modifications, which can include a stairlift when medically necessary. To apply, you must first establish Medicaid financial eligibility. The asset limit is $2,000 for an individual (with the primary home exempt up to $595,000 in value).

Beyond the HISA grant and the HCB Waiver, some Jeffersontown homeowners use long-term care insurance policies that include home-modification riders. Others use the USDA Single Family Housing Repair Loans and Grants program, which provides grants up to $10,000 for very-low-income homeowners age 62 and older in rural areas — though much of Jeffersontown is suburban and may not qualify as rural. Our financing option at $79/month is available regardless of insurance or benefit eligibility.
