Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Wayne County

Wayne County, PA

The Hideout is a gated community of roughly 3,200 homes spread over wooded Pocono terrain in Wayne County. Housing ranges from compact 1970s A-frames near Brooks Lake to larger contemporaries along the shoreline of Roamingwood Lake, the community's 198-acre main lake. Split-levels off Grandview Drive often have winding staircases that call for a custom curved rail. Northgate homes near the south entrance tend toward two-story L-shaped stairs, while ranches near the Fairway golf course and cabins on Deerfield Lake round out the mix. Interior tread-mounted rails don't touch the exterior, so the POA's architectural review rarely applies.

Homeowners We've Helped in The Hideout

Hear It From Your The Hideout Neighbors

What a stairlift project looks like for families in The Hideout and nearby Wayne County. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.

Luis came out to our split-level off Grandview Drive on a Tuesday morning and had the curved rail running by mid-afternoon. Our staircase has a tight turn at the top and I was sure we'd need a contractor. He laser-measured it, the rail came back custom-bent, and it bolted straight to the treads. My husband uses it three times a day now, and the POA never got involved.

We have a 1978 A-frame near Brooks Lake — steep stairs, only 29 inches wide. Two other companies said it couldn't be done. Luis measured, ordered the slim rail, and had it in within three hours. The seat folds up tight against the wall so I can still carry laundry past it, and he never touched the old wood paneling.

Outdoor lift on our Deerfield Lake porch — eleven stone steps up from the driveway. I worried about how it would hold up through a Pocono winter, but two seasons in there's been zero trouble. The sealed motor ran right through 14 inches of snow in February. Luis spec'd weatherproof rail joints I didn't even know existed.

My mother moved in with us at our Northgate two-story and the L-shaped staircase was the one thing keeping her downstairs. Luis put a straight lift on the main flight in about three and a half hours, bolting right through the carpet. She's up every morning for coffee on the deck now. The whole job came in under $3,000.

Platform lift for my husband's wheelchair — six steps from the garage up to the living level in our home near the Fairway golf course. Flat black deck, yellow edges, folds against the wall in seconds. He rolls on, hits the toggle, and he's up. Luis finished in four hours and the POA didn't need to sign off since it's all interior.

We used the VA HISA grant for our straight lift. Luis handled Form 10-0103 and got the medical-necessity letter through the Wayne County VA Clinic in Honesdale — the $6,800 covered everything. It took about six weeks from application to install, and he knew the Wilkes-Barre VA process cold. Saved us hours on the phone.

Common Questions

Everything The Hideout 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 straight stairlift cost in The Hideout?

A straight stairlift in The Hideout starts at $2,800 installed. That covers the rail, seat, DC motor with battery backup, and full installation — usually about 3 hours on a standard straight flight. The price stays steady for most Hideout homes because the staircases in Northgate two-stories and the ranch-style properties run a uniform 12-to-14-foot rise. A power swivel seat or a heavier weight rating adds $300 to $500.

How much is a curved stairlift for a split-level in The Hideout?

Curved stairlifts in The Hideout start at $9,000. The split-levels off Grandview Drive and the multi-level contemporaries near Roamingwood Lake usually have one or two 90-degree turns, which lands them in the $9,500 to $12,000 range. Price depends on the number of bends and total rail length. Luis does a one-hour laser measurement on site, the custom rail arrives in 10 to 14 days, and install takes 5 to 6 hours.

Does the POA charge any fees for stairlift installation in The Hideout?

No. The Hideout Property Owners Association does not charge a fee for an interior stairlift. Because the rail bolts to the stair treads — not the walls — and nothing changes the home's exterior, the install falls outside the POA's architectural-review trigger. We've completed dozens of installs inside the gate and have never had a POA fee or denial for an interior tread-mounted lift.

Are there hidden costs for installing a stairlift in a gated community?

No hidden costs. Our installers clear The Hideout's guard gate ahead of time — we send vehicle and crew details so there's no delay at entry. Travel from our northeast PA service area carries no trip charge. The quote you get at the free in-home assessment is the final price: rail, seat, labor, battery backup, and a 5-year warranty with lifetime rail coverage.

How long does a stairlift install take in The Hideout homes?

A straight stairlift install in The Hideout takes about 3 hours. Curved lifts take 5 to 6 hours because the rail is custom-bent off site and needs precision fitting. Outdoor lifts on Deerfield Lake or Roamingwood Lake porches run about 4 hours — the extra time goes to weather-sealing the rail joints. Platform lifts take 4 to 5 hours. In every case the crew arrives in the morning, finishes by early afternoon, and vacuums the stairway before leaving.

Will the install damage my hardwood or carpeted stairs?

No. The rail bolts into the stair treads with five to seven anchor points — not into the walls or risers. On hardwood treads, common in Roamingwood Lake contemporaries, we set a rubber gasket under each bracket to prevent marring. On carpeted stairs, standard in Northgate homes, we bolt through the carpet into the tread beneath, and the fibers close back around the bolt. If you ever remove the lift, each tread hole fills with wood putty in under ten minutes.

Can you install a stairlift on the narrow staircases in older Hideout A-frames?

Yes. The older A-frames near Brooks Lake often have staircases just 28 to 30 inches wide. A standard straight stairlift needs about 28 inches of clearance, and the seat folds to roughly 14 inches when not in use, leaving a passable walkway. If the stairs are tighter than 28 inches, we have a slim-rail option that gains an extra inch of clearance. Luis measures this at the free assessment.

Do I need POA approval before installing a stairlift in The Hideout?

For interior stairlifts, no. The Hideout Property Owners Association's architectural-review rules govern exterior changes — decks, paint colors, fencing, satellite dishes. An interior stairlift bolted to the treads does not alter the exterior and does not require POA approval. Outdoor stairlifts on lakefront properties follow the same logic: as long as the rail sits on existing steps and no new structure is built, you're clear.

Does the VA HISA grant cover stairlifts for veterans in The Hideout?

Yes. The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant covers stairlifts for eligible veterans. Service-connected veterans receive up to $6,800 — enough to fully cover a straight stairlift. Non-service-connected veterans receive up to $2,000. The application (VA Form 10-0103) needs a medical-necessity statement from your VA primary care provider. The nearest facility is the Wayne County VA Clinic at 600 Maple Avenue, Suite 2, Honesdale, PA 18431, part of the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center system.

Can Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices waiver pay for a stairlift?

Yes. Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) waiver, run by the Department of Human Services Office of Long-Term Living, covers home modifications including stairlifts for Medicaid-eligible seniors and adults with physical disabilities. The waiver requires an assessment showing the stairlift is medically necessary to stay in the home. CHC operates through three managed-care plans: PA Health & Wellness, AmeriHealth Caritas, and UPMC for You. The Wayne County Area Agency on Aging in Honesdale (570-253-4262) can help you start the eligibility process.

Are there any Wayne County or PA state grants for home modifications?

A few programs serve Wayne County. The USDA Section 504 Home Repair grant provides up to $10,000 for very-low-income homeowners age 62 or older to remove health and safety hazards, and rural Wayne County qualifies. NeighborWorks Northeastern PA runs home-modification assistance across Wayne, Lackawanna, and Luzerne counties. The Wayne County Area Agency on Aging (570-253-4262) also helps older adults with home modifications and assistive devices. Availability and funding cycles vary, so apply early.

Does Medicare cover stairlift costs in Pennsylvania?

No. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover stairlifts — they're classified as home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans in Pennsylvania include a small home-modification allowance, often $500 to $1,500 a year, but it is plan-specific and rarely covers the full cost. The three reliable paths for Hideout residents are the VA HISA grant for veterans, the Community HealthChoices waiver for Medicaid-eligible seniors, and the USDA Section 504 grant for low-income homeowners over 62.

A word from Luis

Most of the homes I work in here went up between 1973 and 1985 — a lot of split-levels with tight-turn staircases, and the older A-frames have those narrow, steep stairs winding up from the living area. The Hideout's Property Owners Association is easy to work with: as long as the rail bolts to the treads and nothing changes the exterior, you're clear. For the lakefront places on Roamingwood and Deerfield, an outdoor lift has to take a real Pocono winter — close to 50 inches of snow a year and constant freeze-thaw — so I spec an IP55-rated motor on every outdoor install here.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Whether you own a 1970s A-frame near Brooks Lake or a contemporary on Roamingwood Lake, a stairlift in The Hideout runs $2,800 to $9,000 depending on stair geometry. We handle the POA side — interior tread-mounted rails don't trigger exterior-modification review, so association pushback is rare. The free in-home assessment takes about 30 minutes, and most installs happen within the same week.

Funding in Wayne County draws from three main sources: the VA HISA grant ($6,800 for service-connected veterans, processed through the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center), Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices waiver for Medicaid-eligible seniors, and the USDA Section 504 grant (up to $10,000) for very-low-income homeowners over 62. Luis walks every family through the paperwork at the assessment.
