Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Perry County

Perry County, IN

Laid out in 1858 by the Swiss Colonization Society around a central park, Tell City sits on Ohio River bluffs in Perry County. The Ninth Street corridor holds the oldest folk Victorian and Italianate homes, many with narrow 1880s–1920s staircases and original hardwood treads. Franklin Street and Mozart Street form the mid-century spine, where 1950s–1970s ranches and split-levels often dead-end into a landing half-wall. Hoosier Heights and Forest Canton Heights, both new off Highway 37, bring wide, straight slab-on-grade flights. Riverfront homes near Sunset Park sit on elevated foundations. Each layout drives the rail choice — narrow treads, tight turns, or long straight runs.

Homeowners We've Helped in Tell City

Hear It From Your Tell City Neighbors

How stairlift projects tend to go for homeowners in Tell City. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

When my mom couldn't manage her two-story on Ninth Street anymore, Luis came out the next day. He measured her 1890s staircase — all oak with a tight landing turn — and had the custom curved rail bent and installed within two weeks. She's back in her own bedroom and we stopped worrying about the stairs.

We built in Hoosier Heights and never thought we'd need a stairlift — until my husband's hip surgery. Luis showed up for the free assessment on a Tuesday and installed a straight rail Thursday morning. Three hours, no mess, and he showed us exactly how to use it before he left.

My parents' riverfront home near Sunset Park has 14 steps from street level up to the front door. Dad refused to move, but those stairs got dangerous in winter. Luis put in an outdoor stairlift that handles the rain and ice — it's been two years now and not a single problem.

Luis installed a curved stairlift in our Franklin Street home last fall. The staircase has a turn midway up and I was convinced nothing would fit. He spent about an hour with the laser tool, and two weeks later the rail arrived bent to match every degree of that turn. It runs whisper-quiet.

Called Luis for my mother-in-law's place in Forest Canton Heights — her knees gave out and the front steps were getting risky. He had an outdoor unit on the rail within four hours. She cried when she rode it up the first time. Worth every penny for that look on her face.

Common Questions

Everything Tell City 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.

What does a stairlift cost in Tell City?

In Tell City, a straight stairlift starts at $2,800 installed. A curved stairlift — custom-bent to your staircase after a laser measurement — starts at $9,000. Outdoor units begin at $4,000, and heavy-duty models rated to 600 lb start at $5,050. Every price includes the rail, carriage, seat, remotes, and labor. You get a firm number at the free in-home assessment, with no surprise fees added later.

Do you offer financing for stairlifts in Tell City?

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month through our partner program, with no prepayment penalty and terms from 24 to 60 months. Many Tell City families pair financing with a VA HISA grant or a PathWays for Aging benefit to bring the out-of-pocket cost down further. Luis can walk through the numbers at your assessment so you know the monthly figure before anything is ordered.

Are curved stairlifts much more than straight ones in Tell City?

Yes. A curved stairlift starts at $9,000 versus $2,800 for a straight one, because each rail is custom-bent to your exact staircase geometry. The extra cost covers the one-hour laser measurement on site, the custom fabrication, and the added labor to fit a rail through turns, landings, and intermediate stops — common in Tell City's older Ninth Street and Washington Street homes.

Does insurance or Medicare cover stairlift costs in Indiana?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — they are treated as a home modification, not covered durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans in Indiana include home-modification benefits, so ask your plan about 'home safety modifications.' The PathWays for Aging Medicaid waiver may cover a stairlift as an environmental adaptation, and the VA's HISA grant provides up to $6,800 for qualifying veterans.

How long does stairlift installation take in Tell City?

A straight stairlift installs in 3–4 hours — we bolt the rail to the treads, mount the carriage, plug it into a standard outlet, and test it with you. Curved stairlifts take 1–2 days because the rail arrives in sections that are assembled and aligned on site. Same-week scheduling is standard for Tell City, and we vacuum the treads before we leave.

Will a stairlift damage the hardwood or walls in my older Tell City home?

No. The rail bolts directly to the stair treads — not the wall — so your plaster, drywall, and baseboards stay untouched. On the hardwood treads common in Tell City's older homes, like the Ninth Street Victorians and the 1890s–1920s builds near the city park, the bolt holes are small and can be filled if the lift is ever removed.

Can you install a stairlift on carpeted stairs in Tell City?

Yes. We install on carpet, hardwood, tile, stone, and laminate. The rail mounting brackets pass through the carpet into the solid tread beneath, so there's no tearing, no carpet damage, and no residue. Many Franklin Street and Mozart Street split-levels from the 1950s–1970s have carpeted runs, and the rail blends right in once the seat upholstery is matched.

Do you install outdoor stairlifts that handle southern Indiana winters?

Yes. Our outdoor stairlifts are IP55-rated — sealed against rain, snow, and the Ohio River humidity. The rail and carriage use corrosion-resistant components that hold up through southern Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat. We install them on stone porch steps in Forest Canton Heights and on the elevated riverfront entries near Sunset Park.

How does the VA HISA grant work for Tell City veterans?

The Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant provides up to $6,800 for veterans with service-connected disabilities, or $2,000 for non-service-connected conditions. It is a one-time, lifetime benefit — tax-free and never repaid. The nearest VA facility is the Owensboro VA Clinic at 2060 East Parrish Avenue in Owensboro, Kentucky, about 30 miles from Tell City. The Perry County Veterans Service Office in Tell City can help you apply.

What is Indiana's PathWays for Aging waiver, and does it cover stairlifts?

PathWays for Aging is Indiana's Medicaid managed-care program for Hoosiers aged 60 and older, which replaced the old Aged & Disabled Waiver in July 2024. It covers home and community-based services including environmental adaptations, and a stairlift can qualify when it is medically justified. Luis can help you document the medical need so your case manager has what they need to authorize the work.

Are there state or local home-modification grants for Perry County seniors?

Beyond PathWays for Aging, SWIRCA — the Area 16 Agency on Aging serving Perry County — administers Older Americans Act funds for home modifications, typically smaller grants of $500 to $2,500 for safety improvements like grab bars, ramps, and stairlifts. The Indiana Assistive Technology Program through Easterseals also offers low-interest loans for accessibility equipment. The Perry County Council on Aging can point you to local options.

How do I start the funding process for a stairlift in Tell City?

Call us for a free in-home assessment — Luis brings the measurement tools and the funding paperwork. He'll check your eligibility for HISA (if you're a veteran), PathWays for Aging (if you're on Medicaid and 60+), and any local grants through SWIRCA. Starting the paperwork with the Perry County Veterans Service Office or SWIRCA before he arrives speeds things up considerably.

A word from Luis

Tell City's housing runs the full range — 1890s folk Victorians along Ninth Street with tight winding stairs, mid-century split-levels on Franklin and Mozart where the run dead-ends into a half-wall, and brand-new flights out in Hoosier Heights. I've measured and installed on every one of them.
The thing they all share is simple: the family just wants Mom or Dad safe on the stairs. That's what I deliver — same-week install, no mess on your hardwood or plaster, and a lift that works every time they press the button.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Tell City was built by Swiss immigrants who knew how to plan — the grid around the city park still works more than 160 years on, and the homes they raised still stand. We approach a stairlift the same way: careful measurement, solid mounting on the treads, nothing that doesn't earn its keep.

Whether your staircase is original oak from 1892 or carpeted from 1972, we'll have a lift running on it within a week of your free assessment. Call Luis to set a time.
