Expert Stairlift Installation in Moore, OK

Straight rails are 2 to 4 hours on-site. We arrive, confirm the measurements, bolt the rail into the stair treads, mount the chair, test every safety sensor, demonstrate the battery-backup procedure, and hand you the remotes. Curved rails take 1 to 2 weeks for the laser scan and fabrication, but install day is still under 4 hours. Post-2014 Briarwood rebuilds with wide, code-current stairs often finish in under 3 hours.

Yes — this is the single most common install we do in Moore. The 1970s and 1980s ranches across Westmoore, Royal Oaks, and Oakridge-Southmoore almost always have a mid-landing with a 90-degree turn. We laser-scan the staircase, fabricate a curved rail that carries you from the lower level to the upper bedrooms in one continuous ride, and install a swivel-exit seat at the top so you step off onto the hallway floor. One ride, no transfers, no stepping onto the top tread.

Post-tornado rebuilds in the Briarwood and Plaza Towers areas are actually some of the simplest installs we do. The stairs are wider (IRC 2012 code), the framing is straight, the treads are level, and there is no settling or warping to compensate for. A standard straight rail installs in under three hours. The only variable is whether the rebuild included a storm shelter at the base of the staircase — if it did, we measure the door swing clearance during the assessment and spec a shorter folding footrest when needed.

Interior stairlifts are protected by the structure of the home — the rail and motor are sheltered like any other appliance. Outdoor installs get our tornado-country spec standard: impact-rated motor housing rated for flying debris, marine-grade upholstery, and battery backup for 25+ full cycles when the grid goes down. After the May 2013 Moore EF5, we serviced 8 outdoor lifts in the damage corridor — every interior unit ran without intervention, and 6 of 8 outdoor units needed only cleaning and recalibration.

Yes, through the Oklahoma ADvantage Waiver — the state’s HCBS Medicaid program. Stairlifts qualify as environmental modifications under a lifetime cap of roughly $6,000. Eligibility requires SoonerCare enrollment, age 65+ or 21+ with a physical disability, and a clinical assessment showing nursing-facility level of care. We are a credentialed ADvantage provider — your Case Manager writes the stairlift into the plan of care and we bill SoonerCare directly. Intake typically takes 30 to 45 days. Call Oklahoma Human Services at 1-800-435-4711 to start.

Oklahoma has the 3rd-highest veteran population per capita in the nation, and Tinker AFB is 12 miles from Moore. The VA HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected, paid directly to us after a prescription from your provider at the Oklahoma City VA Health Care System (405-456-1000). For severely disabled veterans, SAH and SHA grants cover significantly more. We pre-fill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate the prescription letter. More than 40 Moore and south-OKC veterans have used HISA through our office.

Oklahoma’s Living Choice (Money Follows the Person) program covers home modifications — including stairlifts — for residents transitioning out of a nursing facility back to a community setting. If you have been in a facility 90+ days and qualify for SoonerCare, a transition coordinator handles assessment over 45 to 60 days. We install before the discharge date so the home is ready when you arrive. Call 1-888-287-2443 to start the process.

If a licensed physician recommends the stairlift in writing (we provide the letter template), the IRS classifies it as a qualified medical expense under Schedule A. Oklahoma has a state income tax, so itemizing often makes more sense here than in no-income-tax states like Texas. The full installation cost reduces taxable income — typically worth $600 to $2,400 back depending on your bracket. Our office walks you through whether itemizing makes sense for your 2026 return.
