Stannah Stairlifts in Trenton, NJ

For well over a century, Stannah has been active in the lifting industry. We started life in the 1860s making cranes, and made our first stairlift in the mid-1970s. Our trusted partner in central New Jersey, Back Home Safely, is a local business run by Gregg and Karen Frank, who are a licensed Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist. They can appraise your mobility and then recommend the best stairlift, if appropriate.

Step one is to have a stairlift expert assess your needs, and your staircase. Either in person, or your favorite video-call program (like Facetime or Zoom), they'll gather enough information to be able to make an informed recommendation. Every staircase is slightly different, and your needs are unique to you, so it's an important step to take. Step two is to generate a price, and go over any needed options. We do this at no cost, without obligation. Step three is to build and install your stairlifts, observing all CDC guidelines. This usually takes about three or four hours, and when the installation is complete, they’ll show you how to use your stairlift (either in person, or remotely through another video-call). Then you’ll be able to glide up and down the stairs, comfortably and safely!

Each home and staircase has its own distinct characteristics, which is why stairlift pricing varies for each situation. Your investment will depend on a few key factors that matter to your specific needs:

• The style of your staircase (straight versus those with landings, turns, or curved/spiral designs)

• The distance the lift needs to travel (total number of steps it must cover)

• Where the stairlift will be positioned when not being used

• Additional comfort elements that make your daily experience more enjoyable

Here's a look at what you might expect to invest:

• Straight Stair Lifts: starting at $4,400*

• Curved Stair Lifts: starting at $10,000*

• Outdoor Stair Lifts: starting at $5,500*

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

• Pool areas to ensure safe entry and exit from elevated pool decks

• Split-level yards to move between terraced landscape features

• Beach house access to navigate stairs leading to the shoreline

• Garage or workshop entrance 

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.
