Expert Stairlift Installation in Voorhees, NJ

Straight installs average 3–4 hours. Curved rails take 4–6 hours because the rail was pre-bent at the factory from laser measurements taken at an earlier visit. Outdoor units run about 3 hours. Platform lifts typically 4–5 hours. We clean up completely — you'd never know we were there except for the working lift.

No. The rail bolts into the stair treads, not the wall. Drywall stays untouched. On carpeted stairs, the bolts go through the carpet into the wood beneath — no tearing or replacement needed. When a lift is eventually removed, the tread holes are small and easy to fill.

Generally no — stairlifts are considered temporary mounted equipment in New Jersey, not structural alterations. Voorhees Township follows the state building code on this. If you're in an HOA community like Alluvium Woods or Hearthstone, we recommend a quick check with your association, but most HOAs approve them without issue.

Every stairlift we install comes with a DC battery backup. The battery charges while the lift is parked at its charging point and runs the lift for roughly 20–30 round trips during an outage. South Jersey summer thunderstorms and winter ice storms knock out power occasionally — your lift keeps working through it.

Yes, through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Veterans with service-connected disabilities can receive up to $6,800; non-service-connected veterans rated 50% or higher can receive $2,000. The HISA grant is one-time, tax-free, and never repaid. You'll need a prescription from a VA provider. The nearest facility is the Camden VA Clinic at 300 South Broadway, Suite 103 (about 12 miles from Voorhees). The Philadelphia VA Medical Center at 3900 Woodland Avenue also processes HISA applications and is about 17 miles away.

Yes. The Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving (JACC) program covers Environmental Accessibility Adaptations, including stairlift installation. JACC serves New Jersey residents 60 and older who meet nursing-home-level clinical eligibility and have resources under $40,000 (individual) or $60,000 (couple). The program caps spending at $1,090 per participant per month. Contact the Camden County Division of Senior and Disabled Services at 856-858-3220 to start the intake process.

New Jersey's MLTSS (Managed Long-Term Services and Supports) program can cover home modifications including stairlifts for Medicaid beneficiaries who qualify for nursing-home level of care. MLTSS is administered through managed care organizations — you'll need an assessment from your MCO's care coordinator. This is different from JACC, which is state-funded and not a Medicaid program. You cannot be enrolled in both simultaneously.

Camden County runs a Home Improvement Program (HIP) for owner-occupants of single-family homes who meet income guidelines. While primarily for structural repairs, accessibility modifications can sometimes qualify. Contact the Camden County Improvement Authority at 856-751-2242. Separately, the county's Division of Senior and Disabled Services at 856-858-3220 can connect Voorhees residents with additional resources, including transportation and caregiver support.
