World Golf Village got its start in the 1990s as a 6,300-acre planned community built around Kelly Lake and the PGA Tour's old Hall of Fame campus, and most of the housing that went up with it — the villas, the townhomes off International Golf Parkway, the patio homes near the Walk of Champions — has at least a step or two between garage and living space, sometimes a full staircase to a second-floor bedroom. Westminster St. Augustine sits right inside the community too, running independent living through memory care on one campus, so a fair number of the people we talk to here are deciding between a stairlift that lets them stay in the house by the lake and a move to that continuum-of-care campus a few streets over. With 91% homeownership and a median household income north of $103,000, most of these are paid-off homes people aren't ready to walk away from.

What makes World Golf Village different
Why a stairlift installed in World Golf Village, FL is planned around the way this specific community lives, not stamped out from a one-size-fits-all template.
World Golf Village was approved in the 1990s as a Development of Regional Impact and built out as a master-planned, golf-anchored community on a 6,300-acre parcel centered on Kelly Lake and its 1.2-mile brick Walk of Champions; it also includes Westminster St. Augustine, a Life Plan (CCRC) community offering independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care.
Source ↗The community was created by the PGA Tour and previously housed the World Golf Hall of Fame and PGA Tour Golf Academy; as of 2020 the resident population of 22,117 had a median household income of $103,019, indicating a notably affluent base relative to surrounding St. Johns County.

Stairlift Service Across St. Johns County
World Golf Village spreads across two-dozen neighborhoods off I-95, most built after 1999, and the staircases vary by builder. Turnberry and The Meadows are classic two-stories — straight hardwood or carpeted flights that take a straight rail. King & Bear holds the custom estates, where curved foyer staircases need a custom-bent rail. Heritage Landing mixes family two-stories with stone-tile treads, and Royal Pines, St. Andrews, and The Legends add a range of older-build widths. The Cascades, the 55+ section, is mostly single-story with raised front stoops, and Gran Lake and Isles of the World bring waterfront and split-level layouts. We serve every WGV neighborhood plus nearby St. Augustine and Fruit Cove.

What a stairlift project looks like for families in World Golf Village and nearby St. Johns County. Drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below.
Luis installed a straight stairlift in our Heritage Landing two-story last spring. The treads are stone tile and I was worried about cracking, but he explained the rail bolts go into the tread, not the tile surface. Not a single chip, and it runs whisper-quiet.
We've got a curved staircase in our King & Bear home — it sweeps around a half-wall at the upper landing. Luis laser-measured the whole turn, came back with a rail that fit perfectly, and parked the seat right at the top so my husband doesn't have to step around it.
I live in The Cascades and needed an outdoor lift for the front stoop — three steps up from the driveway that were getting harder every month. Luis sealed it for the Florida heat and rain, and it's handled a full summer of afternoon storms.
Luis put a straight lift on our carpeted stairs in The Meadows — beige pile, and the seat color matches almost exactly. He showed up at 8am and was done by 11:15. Clean, quiet, and he walked my mother through it twice before he left.
Our Turnberry home was built in 1998 — dark hardwood stairs, standard two-story layout. Luis did the assessment on a Tuesday and the install on Thursday. The battery backup sold me, because the power flickers here every summer storm.
We needed a platform lift for our son, who uses a wheelchair full-time — the Gran Lake home we bought in 2019 had no first-floor bedroom option. Luis set up an indoor inclined platform with the yellow safety edges and it has been flawless.

Everything World Golf Village 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 for a home in World Golf Village?
A straight rail on a single flight — the garage-to-main-floor step-up common in the golf-course villas — sits toward the lower end of what a stairlift runs. A curved rail, which some of the two-story townhomes near International Golf Parkway need if the staircase turns at a landing, costs more because the track is custom-bent to that exact run. Median household income in this community is over $103,000, so most of our customers here are paying out of pocket and choosing on accuracy of the quote, not the lowest number.
Is a used or reconditioned stairlift a realistic way to save money here?
Yes, when the staircase is a standard straight run — which describes a lot of the single-level villa entries in World Golf Village. Curved-rail units built for a landing or a turn are harder to source used because each one is fabricated to a specific staircase, so reconditioned pricing mostly applies to the straight jobs.
Does the price change between the golf-course villas and the townhomes?
Generally yes. The single-story and split-level villas built around Kelly Lake usually need a short straight rail at most, which is the less expensive install. The townhomes closer to International Golf Parkway with a full staircase to an upper floor, especially ones with a landing partway up, typically need a curved rail, which raises both the material cost and the install time.
How long does a stairlift installation take in World Golf Village?
For the straight, single-flight runs common in the villas — garage to main floor, or a short entry staircase — it's usually a half-day job from arrival to walkthrough. The townhome staircases near International Golf Parkway that turn at a landing take longer because the curved rail has to be measured and fabricated to that specific run before we install it.
Will installation damage the staircase or the walls?
No. The rail bolts into the treads of the staircase itself, not the wall, so it works on tile, wood, or carpeted stairs without cutting into drywall or trim. We check tread condition and confirm mounting points on-site before the day of install, which matters more in the two-story units with an older staircase than in newer single-level construction.
Does Florida Medicaid cover a stairlift for a St. Johns County resident?
Possibly, through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC LTC) program. The statewide benefit lists "Home Modifications — For accessibility" without naming stairlifts specifically, so coverage depends on your managed care plan and your individual plan of care. Call 1-800-963-5337 and ask your plan directly whether a stairlift qualifies as a home accessibility adaptation before you count on it.
Does the VA's HISA grant pay for the stairlift itself?
No — the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant explicitly excludes "porch lifts, and stair glides" from what it covers, even though it can fund up to $6,800 (service-connected) or $2,000 (non-service-connected) in other structural alterations. For the lift itself, a stairlift prescribed through VA Prosthetics has no set dollar cap — it's approved against medical need rather than a capped grant. Call 1-877-222-8387 to start either path.
Is there local or state help beyond Medicaid and the VA?
ElderSource, the Area Agency on Aging for a seven-county region including St. Johns County, runs an Elder Helpline that can refer residents to home modification assistance — a published list confirming whether stairlifts specifically are covered wasn't available, so it's worth a call to (904) 391-6699 (local) or 1-888-242-4464 (toll-free) to ask directly. Separately, the FAAST New Horizon Loan Program offers low-interest loans of roughly $3,000 to $30,000 for home modifications including stairlifts, and Florida's Homestead plus Senior Additional Homestead Exemption can reduce a St. Johns County property tax bill by up to $50,000 on top of the standard exemption — not cash toward the lift, but it frees up money elsewhere in the budget.

Most of the jobs I've run in World Golf Village are straight-rail installs on a short flight between the garage and the main floor — the golf-course villas were built that way on purpose, one level, easy access, and it shows once you're inside with a tape measure. The calls I get more often here than in other St. Johns County towns come from adult kids whose parents are weighing Westminster against staying put; they want a real number for the stairlift before they decide anything. Nobody out here is shopping on price alone — income runs high in this community — they want the company that shows up, measures the actual staircase, and doesn't guess.
Ready to get started? It's simple.
World Golf Village sits in a sweet spot — about 15 miles from downtown St. Augustine, 30 from Jacksonville, with two championship courses and mature neighborhoods wrapped in nature preserve. For the families and retirees who bought here from the late 1990s on, the stairs that once felt like a feature — the curved foyer in a King & Bear estate, the hardwood flight in a Turnberry two-story — can become the main obstacle to staying put.
Luis Ramírez has been installing stairlifts across every WGV neighborhood for over 15 years. He knows which HOAs want paperwork and which don't, and why the battery backup matters when a summer storm knocks out power along International Golf Parkway.
