Expert Stairlift Installation in Lander, WY

A straight rail in one of North Lander's brick ranches usually takes three to four hours. A curved rail for a two-story home near City Center can take most of a day once the custom track arrives. We mount the rail to the stair treads rather than the wall, so there's no drywall repair and the staircase is back in use the same day.

Usually, yes. Many pre-1940 homes around City Center have narrow stairwells with 7.5-inch treads instead of the modern 10. Our seats and footrests fold flush against the rail, leaving room for others to walk past. During the free measure I'll check the width at the tightest point and confirm the fit before anything is ordered.

Yes. Lander's freeze-thaw winters at 5,360 feet are hard on exterior steps, so for porch entries along the Popo Agie and out the Squaw Creek road we install an IP55-rated outdoor unit with a sealed, weatherproof rail. The carriage is covered when not in use, and the anchors are set to resist ice heave through the long Fremont County winter.

No major rewiring. Our lifts run on a battery that recharges from a standard household outlet, so the stairlift keeps working during the power flickers that come with Wind River winter storms. We plug into an existing outlet at the top or bottom of the stairs — no electrician visit and no panel upgrade needed in most Lander homes.

It can. Wyoming's Community Choices Waiver (CCW) covers environmental accessibility adaptations — including stairlifts — for residents 65 and older or adults 19-64 with a disability who meet nursing-facility level of care. CCW has limited enrollment slots and a waitlist when full, so apply early through the Wyoming Department of Health's HCBS section. We'll help document the medical necessity for your Lander home.

The VA's HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans and $2,000 for non-service-connected, tax-free and one-time. With veterans making up a notable share of Lander households, this is a common funding path. Start the request through your primary care provider at the Riverton VA Clinic, 2300 Rose Lane, Riverton — about 25 miles from Lander.

Yes. The Riverton VA Clinic at 2300 Rose Lane in Riverton, part of the VA Sheridan Health Care System, is roughly 25 miles from Lander and handles primary and mental health care for Fremont County veterans. Your provider there can write the medical-necessity statement the HISA grant requires for a stairlift.

Beyond Community Choices Waiver and the VA's HISA grant, some Lander families use long-term-care insurance or our $79-per-month financing. Wyoming has no statewide stairlift tax credit, so we walk you through every option during the free assessment and give you a clear picture of out-of-pocket cost before you commit.
