Expert Stairlift Installation in Sicklerville, NJ

A straight stairlift installs in about 3 hours. A curved lift takes 4–5 hours because the custom rail needs more mounting points. Outdoor units on Sicklerville porches and stoops take roughly 3–4 hours. We work around your schedule — Luis has done plenty of Saturday morning installs for families who work during the week.

No. The rail bolts directly into the stair treads, not the drywall. For Sicklerville homes with hardwood treads (common in the 1970s–80s colonials around Wyndam Hill and Wilton's Corner), we use precisely measured lag bolts that seat flush. For carpeted stairs, the carpet fibers close back over the bolt points. If you ever remove the lift, the treads need minor wood-filler touch-up — no structural work.

Yes. The rail mounts on the stair treads, not the wall, so it adds only about 11 inches of width to the staircase. Even if your Sicklerville home has stairs narrower than 36 inches — which we see in some older Penbryn and Cedarbrook ranches — the seat and armrests fold up when not in use, leaving the stairs passable for other family members.

Yes. We install outdoor units in all four seasons. The lifts are IP55 weather-sealed and built with marine-grade components that handle Sicklerville's freeze-thaw winters, spring rain, and humid summers. The rail gets a corrosion-resistant coating, and the seat cover is UV-stabilized. We've put them on front stoops, back decks, and garage-entry stairs across Winslow Township.

Yes — through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Service-connected veterans can receive up to $6,800 for a stairlift. Non-service-connected veterans with a 50% or higher disability rating can receive up to $2,000. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. The Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center at 3900 Woodland Avenue in Philadelphia processes HISA approvals for Camden County veterans. The Camden VA Outpatient Clinic at 300 South Broadway handles the initial consult and prescription.

Yes, through New Jersey's MLTSS (Managed Long Term Services and Supports) program. MLTSS covers home modifications including stairlifts when they are medically necessary and part of a care plan that keeps the individual in their home rather than a nursing facility. Camden County residents enrolled in MLTSS through Horizon NJ Health or another managed care organization can request a residential modification assessment. The JACC program (Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving) — a state-funded program for seniors 60+ at nursing-home level of care — also covers environmental accessibility adaptations including stairlifts, with a per-participant monthly cost cap.

Camden County does not run its own stairlift grant program, but the county's Office of Veterans Affairs on Route 73 in Braddock can help Sicklerville veterans navigate the HISA application. The Camden County Division of Senior Services can also connect residents to the Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) program and MLTSS. For non-veteran, non-Medicaid residents, we offer financing from $79/month with no prepayment penalty.

The process has two steps. First, schedule an appointment with your VA primary care provider — the Camden VA Clinic on South Broadway or the Philadelphia VAMC — and get a written prescription stating that a stairlift is medically necessary for your condition. Second, submit the prescription with VA Form 10-0103 (HISA application) to the prosthetics department at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center. Luis helps Sicklerville veterans fill out both forms during the in-home assessment — he has done it hundreds of times and knows exactly what the VA needs to see.
