Stannah Stairlifts in Edison, NJ

For over 150 years, Stannah has been leading the lifting industry. We’ve also been setting standards for stairlift manufacturing since the mid-1970s. Our authorized distributor in central New Jersey is Back Home Safely, a local company started by Gregg and Karen Frank, who are a licensed Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist. They are unusually well-qualified to help assess your mobility and your needs, so you can be confident in making a wise stairlift choice.

First, a stairlift expert will assess both your needs and your stairs. This can be done remotely (using an app like Facetime or Zoom), or in person - observing all the CDC safety protocols. They’ll look at your stairs and discuss how you get around, so that they can recommend the best stairlift. Every staircase is slightly different, and your needs are unique to you, so it's an important step to take. Then they'll give you pricing, and discuss any options you might need. If you decide that a stairlift is right for you, they'll begin preparing for your stairlift installation. When your stairlift is ready, a professional technician will install it in your home. They’ll be sure to do a thorough and professional job. After the installation is complete, they’ll take the extra time to make sure that you understand how to use your stairlift. In no time, you’ll be gliding upstairs in comfort and safety!

At Stannah, we take all the guesswork out of the process, making it simple to find the perfect stairlift for your unique needs.

Here's our straightforward approach:

1. Free Home Assessment: Contact us to schedule a complimentary stair survey. We'll visit your home to carefully assess and measure your staircase, helping you discover how to maximize your home's potential.

2. Personalized Design: Based on our assessment, we'll design a stairlift specifically tailored to both your staircase configuration and personal requirements.

3. No-Pressure Quote: Once we understand what you need, we provide a free, no-obligation quote right on the spot. You can take all the time you need to consider your options and make the best decision for your situation.

4. Quick Installation: When you're ready to proceed, our technician will install your stairlift in less than a day. Before we leave, we'll ensure you're completely comfortable operating your new stairlift.

The entire process is designed to be hassle-free, giving you peace of mind from consultation through installation and beyond.

Our most popular option, straight stairlifts are designed specifically for staircases that run in a single direction without any turns, landings, or bends. Curved stairlifts are engineered for staircases with turns, including spiral configurations, fanned steps, or half and quarter landings.

The right choice depends entirely on your home's architecture and your specific mobility needs. During our free assessment, we can help determine which style would work best for your particular staircase configuration. 

Your outdoor stairlift provides a safe alternative to slippery, wet stairs throughout the entire year. It's safer than a ramp, more compact than a vertical platform lift, and easier to install since it attaches directly to your stairs rather than requiring wall mounting.

Rain or shine, these durable lifts will transport you where you need to go in all seasons. The chair, motor, and battery are fully waterproofed to withstand rain, ice, and snow without damage.

Common Outdoor Stairlift Applications:

• From your back porch to your garden

• Front entrance steps to your driveway

• Deck or patio access for comfortable outdoor entertaining

• Lakefront properties to safely navigate steep paths to docks or water access

Insurance coverage for stairlifts may be available if your policy includes allowances for home accessibility modifications. Auto insurance plans, worker's compensation programs, and medical trust funds might provide financial assistance toward your stairlift purchase. We suggest reaching out to your health insurance provider to ask about possible coverage options—they could potentially cover part of the expense.

Medicare doesn't provide coverage for stairlifts. However, you may be able to reduce your costs through various funding programs. We're happy to help you investigate all potential financial assistance options that could make your stairlift investment more manageable.
