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 1980s 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 only 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 with a corrosion-resistant rail coating and a UV-stabilized seat cover that handle Sicklerville's freeze-thaw winters, spring rain, and humid summers. We've put them on front stoops, back decks, and garage-entry stairs across Winslow Township.

Yes — but the stairlift itself comes through the VA Prosthetic & Sensory Aids Service (PSAS), not the HISA grant. When a VA clinician prescribes the lift as medically necessary, PSAS furnishes it with no set dollar cap. The HISA grant — up to $6,800 for service-connected, $2,000 for non-service-connected — covers permanent structural work like ramps, but it specifically excludes stair lifts. The Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center at 3900 Woodland Avenue in Philadelphia handles prosthetics for South Jersey veterans, while the Camden VA Clinic at 300 South Broadway handles the initial consult and prescription.

Yes, through New Jersey's MLTSS (Managed Long Term Services and Supports) program, which covers stairlifts as an Environmental Accessibility Adaptation when medically necessary and part of a care plan that keeps the person at home — there is no fixed dollar cap, coverage follows the approved Plan of Care. Camden County residents enrolled in MLTSS through one of the state's plans (Aetna, Horizon NJ Health, UnitedHealthcare, or Wellpoint) can request a residential modification assessment. The state-funded JACC program (Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving) for seniors 60+ at nursing-facility level of care also covers stairlifts, within an overall service cap of $11,158.56 per year ($929.88 per month).

Camden County does not run its own stairlift grant program, but the Camden County Office of Veterans Affairs can help Sicklerville veterans start the VA benefits process, and the Camden County Division of Senior Services can connect residents to the JACC program and MLTSS. For non-veteran, non-Medicaid residents, we offer financing from $79/month with no prepayment penalty.

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. With that prescription, the lift is furnished through the VA Prosthetic & Sensory Aids Service (PSAS) at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center; the HISA grant and VA Form 10-0103 apply to structural work like ramps, not the lift itself. Luis helps Sicklerville veterans through the process during the in-home assessment — he has done it many times and knows exactly what the VA needs to see.
