Common situations we get called out for across North Lebanon's neighborhoods. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
The stairs in our 1974 split-level were getting dangerous for my dad. Luis came out, measured everything in about 20 minutes, and had the lift installed the next week. The rail follows the wall perfectly, and my dad can get upstairs to his bedroom now without anyone spotting him. He uses it every day. Three years in and it has not needed a single service call.
My mother has lived in her Ebenezer cottage for 40 years and refused to move. The staircase is narrow, and I thought a lift would not fit. Luis measured and said a straight rail would work on the 32-inch-wide stairs. He was right. The install took a morning. Mom can use her second-floor sewing room again without white-knuckling the handrail.
We put off getting a stairlift for two years because we assumed it would be a major construction project. Luis showed us the rail bolts to the treads, no wall work, no electrical changes. The whole thing was done in an afternoon. Our house off Heilmandale Road has carpeted stairs and the brown seat matched perfectly. Should have called sooner.
The outdoor lift Luis put on our back porch has survived two Pennsylvania winters: ice, snow, the freeze-thaw cycle that cracks our driveway every spring. The lift works exactly like it did on day one. My father-in-law uses it to get from the driveway level up to the kitchen door. The cream seat still looks new. IP55 rating is not marketing. It is real.
Our 1880s farmhouse has the original staircase, steep, narrow, with a tight turn at the top. Three other companies said they could not do it or quoted us twelve thousand. Luis measured it with a laser, ordered a custom curved rail, and had it in two weeks later. The rail fits the turn exactly. My wife can sleep upstairs again after eight years of using a hospital bed in the dining room.
I am a veteran and used the HISA grant through the Lebanon VA Medical Center on South Lincoln Avenue. Luis walked me through the two forms: the grant request and the medical-necessity letter from my VA doctor. The $6,800 covered the whole straight-rail install in our Northgate home. Took about six weeks from application to approval. The lift has been perfect.

North Lebanon Township covers 16.75 square miles of rolling limestone hills north of Lebanon city. Sand Hill has dense midcentury construction, ranches and split-levels from the 1960s through 1980s, most with straight staircases under 16 feet. Ebenezer mixes older cottages with newer single-family builds; original oak treads accept a straight rail cleanly. Hebron, settled first, retains stone farmhouses from the early 1800s, and the narrow winder staircases here often need a curved rail. The Heilmandale corridor and Tunnel Hill area span 1970s colonials to 2000s construction. Northgate and newer subdivisions have wider staircases to modern code, a three-hour straight-rail install. Outdoor lifts serve farmhouse porches throughout the township.

Everything North Lebanon Homeowners Actually Ask
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.
How much does a stairlift cost for a home in North Lebanon Township?
Straight-rail lifts, which fit most of the split-level and two-story staircases common here, typically run in the low-to-mid thousands installed. Curved-rail units cost more because the rail has to be custom-bent to the stairway. Given the township's mid affordability band, we walk every North Lebanon homeowner through the PA Assistive Technology Foundation's loan options before finalizing a quote.
Does the price change for older homes in the township?
Some of the housing stock here goes back to the township's earlier suburban development, part of the 4,234 units recorded as of the 2000 census. Older staircases occasionally need a bracket adjustment or a rail modification for uneven treads, usually a modest add-on, not a full re-quote.
Are there financing options if I can't pay the full amount upfront?
Yes. The PA Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF) offers a Mini-Loan up to $7,000 at 0% interest, and a Low-Interest Loan above that up to $60,000 total at 3.75%, with no income limit to apply.
How long does a stairlift installation take at a North Lebanon home?
A straight-rail lift, which covers the majority of split-level and two-story staircases in the township, usually installs in half a day. Curved staircases or homes with a tight landing take longer because the rail is measured and fitted on site.
Will installing a stairlift damage my stairs or walls?
No. The lift mounts to the stair treads, not the wall, so there's no structural work involved. That matters here, where a fair share of homes date to the township's earlier construction era and the stairs themselves are the original structure.
Do I need a permit to install a stairlift in North Lebanon Township?
Most straight-rail installs don't require a building permit since nothing structural changes. We confirm requirements with Lebanon County before any job that adds electrical work for a battery backup outlet.
Does Pennsylvania's Medicaid program pay for a stairlift here?
If you're enrolled in Community HealthChoices (CHC), Pennsylvania's Medicaid managed long-term care waiver, home adaptations including stairlifts can be approved case-by-case by your CHC managed care organization. There's no fixed dollar cap, it's set by your service plan. The Independent Enrollment Broker for PA can be reached at 1-877-550-4227.
What if I'm not on Medicaid, is there help through the county?
The Lebanon County Area Agency on Aging (717-273-9262) administers the state's OPTIONS program locally, funding home modifications for residents 60 and older on a sliding co-payment scale. There's no income limit to apply, and it's entirely separate from Medicaid.
Are there veterans' benefits that cover a stairlift in North Lebanon?
Yes. A veteran with a qualifying service-connected disability can apply for a VA Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant, up to $126,526 for FY2026, or the smaller Special Home Adaptation (SHA) grant, up to $25,350 for FY2026. Stairlifts can also be prescribed through VA Prosthetics with no fixed dollar cap. Call the VA at 1-800-827-1000 to start.

I've run more than a few calls out to North Lebanon Township, and the homes tell a story: split-levels from the suburban build-out, a half-flight up to the bedrooms and a half-flight down to a family room. Those runs aren't long, but they're awkward, and a straight rail handles most of them without much fuss. What surprises people is how many of them qualify for help paying for it. Between the Lebanon County Area Agency on Aging and the state's OPTIONS program, I've had homeowners here get the modification covered when they walked in assuming they'd pay full price out of pocket.
Ready to get started? It's simple.
North Lebanon Township's mix of 19th-century farmhouses, midcentury split-levels, and new-construction subdivisions off Route 72 means no two stairlift installs are the same. That is why we send Luis, not a sales rep, to every in-home assessment. He measures your actual stairs with a laser and tells you what works, whether you are on a Hebron stone staircase built in 1834 or a 2005 colonial in Northgate.
From the HISA grant at the Lebanon VA Medical Center on South Lincoln Avenue to Pennsylvania's CHC waiver and $79/month financing, we help you sort the funding before any paperwork goes in. Call or fill out the form, and Luis will be at your door with a tape measure and an honest answer.
