Expert Stairlift Installation in Logansport, IN

A straight stairlift goes in, on average, in 3 hours. Curved lifts — common in the historic districts — take 4 to 5 hours because the rail arrives in sections that need to be joined and aligned on site. Outdoor units on porch stairs in places like Twelve Mile take about the same as indoor straights. We schedule the install at your convenience and you can use the lift the same day.

The rail bolts directly into the stair treads — not the wall, not the drywall. For homes in the Point Historic District or Bankers Row with original hardwood treads, the bolt holes are ¼-inch diameter and get filled with wood-toned plugs when the rail is removed. The wall stays untouched. If your stairs are carpeted in a home off Michigan Avenue, we work around the carpet and bolt through it into the tread beneath.

Yes. The outdoor units we install in Logansport use IP55-rated weather sealing and weatherproof rail covers. Cass County winters bring freeze-thaw cycles that can ice up standard outdoor gear — we spec sealed gear housings and heated battery compartments that keep the lift running even when the temperature drops below 20°F. The 4Ah backup battery runs the lift for about 6 hours during a power outage.

Yes, this is most of what we do here. The Point Historic District and Georgetown homes often have staircases under 32 inches wide — that's tight, but our narrowest rail fits a 28-inch stair. The seat folds up to 12 inches deep when parked, so hallway clearance at the bottom landing stays usable. We measure during the free assessment and tell you before we order anything whether it fits.

Yes — through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800. Non-service-connected veterans can qualify for up to $2,000. It's a one-time grant, tax-free, never repaid. The closest VA facility for Cass County veterans is the Hoosier VA Clinic at 1496 West Hoosier Boulevard, Peru, IN 46970 — about 17 miles from Logansport. It rolls up to the Marion VA Medical Center at 1700 East 38th Street, Marion, IN 46953, which handles HISA processing for the region. We help with the medical-necessity documentation.

Yes. Indiana PathWays for Aging — which launched July 1, 2024, replacing the old Aged & Disabled Waiver for Hoosiers 60+ — covers home modifications including stairlifts when they're in the individual's service plan. The program requires a provider to submit bids, and the lowest qualified bid is selected. To get started, contact your PathWays managed care entity or call 87-PATHWAY-4. We can walk you through the bid process once your service plan authorizes a home modification.

Cass County doesn't have a dedicated county-level home modification grant. The main programs Logansport residents use are PathWays for Aging (state Medicaid), the VA HISA grant, and USDA Rural Development's Single Family Housing Repair Loans and Grants for low-income seniors in rural Cass County areas like Twelve Mile and Lucerne. For private-pay financing, we offer $79/month with no prepayment penalty.

We offer financing at $79/month with approved credit. No prepayment penalty — pay it off any time. Beyond that, the HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for qualifying veterans, and Indiana PathWays for Aging can cover the full cost for eligible Medicaid recipients aged 60+. We also accept all major credit cards, checks, and bank transfers. You don't need to pay the full amount upfront — half is due at order, half at install.
