Expert Stairlift Installation in West Memphis, AR

Straight installs: about 3 hours. Curved: 4–6 hours (the rail arrives pre-bent from the laser measurement). We bolt to the treads, not the wall — no drywall repair, no repainting. The lift plugs into a standard outlet and gets tested before we leave. Most West Memphis jobs are done in a single morning or afternoon.

No. The rail mounts to the stair treads with bolts — never to the wall. For hardwood treads, common in 1940s–1950s West Memphis homes, we use fasteners that don't crack or split the wood. When the lift is eventually removed, the bolt holes fill easily with wood putty and stain.

Yes. We install weather-sealed outdoor lifts rated for Arkansas Delta conditions — 70%+ summer humidity, freeze-thaw cycles in winter (January lows average 31–33°F), and occasional ice. The IP55-rated motor and marine-grade controls handle it. These units go on back porches, raised-foundation entries, and riverside home exteriors.

Yes. The rail sits on the treads, not the wall, and the seat folds up when not in use. We fit stairs as narrow as 28 inches. Most 1920s–1940s West Memphis cottages in neighborhoods like Avalon Heights have stair widths right around 30–32 inches — well within spec.

Arkansas's ARChoices in Homecare Waiver covers home modifications — including stairlifts — for eligible adults 21+ who need nursing-facility-level care but choose to stay home. To qualify, you must meet Arkansas Medicaid financial eligibility and require assistance with daily activities. Call the Arkansas DHS Division of Aging, Adult, and Behavioral Health Services to start the assessment.

The VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations grant covers up to $6,800 for service-connected veterans, $2,000 for non-service-connected veterans with a 50% or higher disability rating. One-time, tax-free, never repaid. Your nearest VA facility is the Lt. Col. Luke Weathers, Jr. VA Medical Center at 116 N Pauline Street in Memphis — about 8 miles from West Memphis. The Nonconnah Boulevard VA Clinic at 1689 Nonconnah Blvd in Memphis also provides primary care. You'll need a VA doctor's prescription confirming medical necessity.

Beyond ARChoices, Arkansas doesn't have a standalone state-funded home-modification grant program, but Area Agencies on Aging occasionally have limited funds. The West Memphis area is served by the East Arkansas Area Agency on Aging, based in Jonesboro. Some local nonprofits and the United Way of the Mid-South also offer small grants on a case-by-case basis.

Yes. Financing starts at $79/month with no credit-score minimum. Many families split the cost among siblings — a straight lift at $2,800 financed over 36 months is less than a typical car payment. We also offer a 5-year warranty and lifetime rail coverage, so there are no surprise repair costs down the line.
