What is a Stairlift?
A stairlift is an accessibility solution, consisting of a chair that carries you safely up and down stairs, along a straight or curved rail that is secured to your stair treads. Stairlifts put every floor of your home within easier reach.
A Stannah stairlift can help you take control of your stairs, giving your family members peace of mind and giving you a greater sense of independence in the home you love.

Chairlift vs Stairlift: What's the Difference?
While the terms chairlift and stairlift are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to different types of lifts.
A stairlift is a motorized chair that glides along a rail fitted to your staircase, helping you travel safely between floors in your home.
A chairlift, on the other hand, usually refers to the open-air seats used on ski slopes or mountain resorts—not something designed for indoor or residential use. Stairlifts are built specifically for homes, with features like seatbelts, swivel seats, and remote controls for comfort and safety.
A lift chair is something else entirely—it’s a comfortable, powered recliner that helps you sit down and stand up more easily in your living room or bedroom. While both lift chairs and stairlifts support movement, a lift chair stays in one place, whereas a stairlift helps you move between levels of your home.
How much does a stairlift cost?
Stairlift pricing depends on the length and shape of your stairs, as well as the options you need. Exact pricing requires a home survey, but you can learn more about our guidelines on our stairlift pricing guide. Prices include expert advice, measuring and installation costs, and stairlift warranties.
Does Medicaid or Medicare cover stairlifts?
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover the cost of stairlifts. However, there are other programs you might be able to utilize to get help with your stairlift purchase. Discover your stairlift funding options today.
Are stairlifts tax deductible?
The purchase of a stairlift may be tax deductible, depending on your situation. You can learn more about stairlifts and taxes by speaking to your accountant or reading more about stairlifts and tax deductions on our resource blog.
Can I rent a stairlift?
While few companies rent stairlifts, Stannah and many of our dealers do. Renting is a practical short-term option; if you need it for the long term, you can always purchase the stairlift later. Learn more about stairlift rentals to decide if it’s the right choice for your current situation.
