Expert Stairlift Installation in Trenton, NJ

Straight rails are 2-4 hours on-site. In narrow Chambersburg and Mill Hill rowhouses where the compact rail is required, add about 30 minutes for precise fitting. Hamilton colonials with wide stairs often finish in under three hours. Curved rails take 1-2 weeks for fabrication, but install day is still under 4 hours.

No. Modern stairlifts bolt into the stair treads themselves — the rail is self-supporting and never touches your wall, your banister, or your original millwork. We've installed in dozens of 1880s-1920s Trenton homes without damaging a single turned spindle. If we remove the lift years later, you're left with a handful of small pilot holes in the tread wood.

Yes — and we measure dozens of 26- to 28-inch stairwells in Chambersburg and Mill Hill every year. The compact-profile rail with a folding footrest and fold-flat seat leaves enough width for another person to pass. It's designed for the rowhouse layout that Trenton is built on.

Yes. The NJ Law Against Discrimination (N.J.S.A. 10:5-1) requires landlords to permit reasonable accessibility modifications for tenants with documented disabilities. The tenant typically pays for the install, but the landlord cannot refuse. We provide the NJ LAD reasonable-modification documentation packet at no charge. Many Trenton renters fund the install through NJ MLTSS or JACC — both of which cover renters as well as homeowners.

Yes, through the NJ Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) waiver. Stairlifts qualify as Environmental Accessibility Adaptations with no fixed stairlift cap — the amount is determined by your care plan. Eligibility requires NJ residency, age 65+ or adult with disability, NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid eligibility, and a nursing-facility clinical assessment. Enroll with an MLTSS health plan — Aetna, Horizon, UnitedHealthcare, or Wellpoint — and your Care Manager writes the stairlift into your plan. We're credentialed with all four NJ MLTSS MCOs.

The Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) program is the state-funded alternative for NJ seniors age 60+ who earn too much for Medicaid but below 365% of the federal poverty level. JACC provides up to $1,090 per month in home- and community-based services, including home modifications like stairlifts. Eligibility is assessed through the Mercer County Area Agency on Aging. Call 1-877-222-3737 to start. We handle the vendor paperwork with your Care Manager.

VA NJ Healthcare System operates from the Lyons campus, about 45 minutes north on Route 206 / I-78. The HISA grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected disabilities and up to $2,000 for non-service-connected. We prefill VA Form 10-0103 and coordinate with the HISA coordinator at Lyons. Mercer County has an active veteran community and HISA is one of our busiest funding routes alongside MLTSS and JACC.
