Benefits of stair chair lifts in Buffalo
A stair chair lift fits along the wall of a staircase, providing a fast and convenient way to move between floors. Stair chair lifts for seniors and people with disabilities help them maintain their independence and age in place.
More than one million Americans are injured on the stairs each year, and people with reduced mobility are at a higher risk of falling. To prevent dangerous falls in the home, many Buffalo residents in neighborhoods like Elmwood Village or Masten Park are choosing to install stair chair lifts.
How to choose stair lifts in Buffalo
Your mobility needs, personal preferences and the shape of your staircase determine which stair chair lift is right for you. Here are the common types of stair lifts in Buffalo:
| Description | Stair lift cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Straight stair lift | This is the standard option for homes with straight staircases. | $2,000-$5,000 |
| Curved stair lift | This option is for homes with landings or curved staircases. Manufacturers have to custom make curved stair chair lifts to fit your staircase, increasing stair lift costs significantly. | $7,500-$10,000+ |
| Seated stair lift | Seated stair chair lifts allow passengers to sit safely and comfortably while the lift is in motion. | $2,000-$5,000 |
| Standing stair lift | For those with trouble sitting down, a standing stair lift provides a more comfortable experience. These stair lifts are also known as stair lift elevators and may include a high cushion for riders to lean on. | $3,000-$5,000 |
The best stair chair lifts in Buffalo come standard with a variety of safety measures, but the specific features of your model will depend on the manufacturer and type of stair chair lift you choose. Some models include remote controls, safety sensors and weatherproofing, though these options add on to your final cost.
Before you commit to a purchase, have a stair lift company come out to your home to measure your staircase and provide a price quote. During this consultation, ask a few questions to acquaint yourself with the company and its products, such as:
- Is there a warranty on the stair chair lift and the installation?
- Does the stair lift have special electrical requirements?
- Does the stair chair lift have a backup battery in case my home loses power?
- Can I rent a handicap chair lift if my mobility issues are temporary?
- Do you provide stair lift maintenance in Buffalo?
How much does a stair lift cost in Buffalo?
Stair lift costs start at $2,000, but some stair lifts in Buffalo cost more than $10,000. Your price depends on what additional features or stair lift chair upgrades you select and how complex your installation is. For instance, a curved staircase is significantly more expensive because of the custom production and installation required.
Does medicare cover stair lifts?
Medicare does not cover the purchase or installation of a stair chair lift. However, some private insurance companies do. Confirm whether you have coverage before purchasing your stair chair lift.
For New York residents, there are programs available to assist in managing stair chair lift installation costs. The Housing Resource Center highlights some options for low-income Buffalo residents, while New York’s Office for People with Developmental Disabilities offers waiver-based assistance programs.
