Are stair lifts worth it?

• <div><p>If you or a loved one has trouble getting up and down the stairs, and it’s a long-term or permanent condition, a stair lift is absolutely worth the cost. Alternatives, such as a variety of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-elevators.htm">home elevator types</a>, are more expensive, and moving to a one-story home can also be costly.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a stair lift?

• <div><p>The average cost to install a stair lift ranges from <b>$2,000 to $20,000</b>, depending on the type of stair lift. Other cost factors include the stair lift length, style, location, weight capacity, comfort options like padding and footrests, and power source. </p><p>Labor costs also impact the overall price. Always hire a pro for projects that require technical know-how, electrical work, and installation of heavy moving parts, as they can be too complicated or dangerous for DIYers. While stair lifts are an investment, they can be an affordable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/making-your-home-wheelchair-accessible.htm">way to make your home accessible</a>. </p></div>

Q: Can you move a stair lift to another house?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, yes, it is possible to move a stair lift to another home, although moving curved stair lifts can be costly and challenging since they are custom-built for individual stairways. Straight stair lifts are much simpler and usually can be moved to other straight staircases relatively easily and with the help of a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/stair-companies/">local stair service pro</a>.</p></div>

Q: Are stair lifts covered by Medicare?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover stair lifts, but you might be able to get financial assistance through Medicaid. Private insurance may also cover the cost.</p></div>

Q: What safety features come with curved stair chair lifts?

• <div><p>Curved stair chair lifts are often equipped with several safety features, including seat belts, obstruction sensors that stop the lift if something is in its path, a swivel seat for easy access, and battery backups to ensure the lift operates even during a power outage. However, not all features are included in all models, so make sure the lift you choose includes the safety features that are most important to you.</p></div>
