Frequently Asked Questions


1) Are there any good options for used or recycled lifts in my area?

Yes. Recycled and reconditioned stairlifts are an option and are accessible. Custom-designed curved stairlifts are less easy to resell, since the angles around the curves really have to be a very close match. Otherwise, a recycled stairlift is fundamentally good just because it's used and offers plenty of edges. Many Pennsylvania stairlift companies buy back stairlifts and resell them used. A stairlift that was used may have been removed and resold, as the individual who depended on the lift enhanced within their condition, they moved, or the demand for it was temporary. They cost considerably less than new models. Be sure to ask some questions, when purchasing a used lift. Ask about their weight and the prior owner /height requirements. Ask about the age of the model that is used. We advise that you don't buy because that version is close to retirement, one which is 10 years old. You can shorten the length of tracks if needed as stated before. However, make sure that you stick to a very measured strategy for cutting tracks, because a mistake will cost you.

2) Why are they so expensive to install?

Most importantly, they help you each step of the way and comprise routine care. Professional setup is much more economical in the long-run when it comes to service, warranty and long-term care as they experienced at setup and are trained to follow safety measures. The installer is getting paid to correctly install your unit so that you do not face serious risks that do result when an inexperienced person opens the manual for the first time and installs a stairlift. A Wilkes-Barre professional also understands just how to make sure that the stairlift follows fire exit demands, the way to ensure the charger connections are operating properly to avoid serious accidents, and ensure that all the appropriate operating characteristics are empowered. The cost you pay to truly have a trained and trustworthy tech ensures your security and also the longevity of your purchase. Additionally, setup involves lifting a good amount of weight. Many installations can be completed in a few hours by a professional.

3) Does the VA cover the cost and installation of lifts?

According to AARP, The Department of Veterans Affairs offers a couple of grants to qualified veterans with disabilities for safety developments in the residence. Upon qualification, a veteran can receive either and both a HISA grant a SAH or SHA grant. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 10-0103 to submit an application for the HISA grant. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to submit an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For advice on all benefits call 1 800 827 1000.

4) How much do they weigh?

The units are hefty, which is one of the reasons we do not advocate trying to install them yourself. The lightest units on the market weigh 165-180 pounds installed (seat and course). Some units weight over 250 pounds installed. Tracks and chair assemblages come in different sizes and shapes and are made of various kinds of substances determined by the model and its greatest attributes.

5) Can you apply for one of these lifts if you are on disability?

A person have a medical condition which meets their definition of handicap and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in work that was insured by Social Security. In case you are on disability or injured, benefits could be covered. Since SSI is a needs-based plan and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualifications for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to attain an occupational goal. The money that is set aside under a PASS can be used for anything that results in an occupational objective and may be utilized to cover house modifications via an SSI savings plan. You'll find out more about PASS through your Pennsylvania Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213.

6) How much would a cheap one cost?

You could likely find a stairlift that is cheap for about $1,000, but we additionally recommend that you be cautious of scams. Many people have purchased a unit that was very affordable and soon learned that there were defects in the unit once they got them or they didn't function properly. Quality is essential as you could wind up spending more to maintain a cheap purchase. In order to locate an affordable alternative, consider letting one or buying used models. Scroll through this page to see our guidance on seeking affordable units and financing choices.

7) Does health insurance cover equipment cost and installation of a lift?

Medicare doesn't cover stairlift equipment and setup prices, for the reason that they are home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment contains elevators which are used to help a patient in out of a seat or bed. Medicaid in your state may cover stairlifts through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers. In Pennsylvania, individuals with limited financial resources may be eligible for the Pennsylvania Medicaid COPES Waiver, recently replaced by the Community First Choice Alternative. It empowers individuals who supports independent living and need nursing home level attention to receive that care at home, including coverage for home alterations. Family may be compensated for providing caregiving aid. It's better to review different insurance policies. Some private health or long-term care insurance can help pay for limited home alterations. Check with your Wilkes-Barre insurance carrier to review coverage alternatives. The National Association of Home Builders suggests that some auto insurance, worker's compensation, long-term care policies, state catastrophic accident insurance plans, and medical trust funds can cover the expenses of a house adjustment.

8) Can these lifts be used on wood flooring?

Lifts can be installed on all types of flooring (carpeting, concrete, tile, marble, linoleum, or bare wooden stairway). When the stairlift is removed, holes will be apparent without carpeting. But, the holes are small and could be filled. Stairlifts may also be installed on wooden outside steps. The rail will be attached to your wooden steps. In fact, most professionally installed stairlifts in Wilkes-Barre cost between $500 and $1,000 for the work given a variety of factors based on the problem of the job. Tile, metal stairways, or concrete are more difficult than wooden stairway.

9) Does AETNA cover the cost of these lifts?

No. Aetna bases this decision on whether several criteria are satisfied. The Aetna member must be: (1) incapable of standing up from a regular armchair at home; (2) and must have severe arthritis of the hip or knee, or have serious neuromuscular disorder; (3) and the seat lift mechanism should be prescribed to effect improvement, or arrest or retard deterioration in the member's state; (4) and once standing, the member should have the ability to ambulate. Subsequently, Aetna would contemplate seat lift mechanisms medically necessary durable medical equipment (DME). Nevertheless, Aetna does not insure stairlifts because they're considered home modifications. They basically follow Medicare's rules for aerodynamic lift mechanisms as explained in the question that handles Medicare coverage of these medical devices.

10) What types of financing are available if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

Depending on your own medical condition, there are some plans which help make the house adjustment less expensive. 1. The Fall Prevention Centre of Excellence lists government grants which are available for home modifications. 2. Contact the National Council on Independent Living Center (703) 525-3406 on the best way to get backing and referral services in your area. 3. 4. It might reassure you to be aware of that if your insurance does not cover the price, several of the stairlift makers have partnered with banks to provide financing alternatives, including loans and monthly payment choices. 5. There are other options to consider. The IRS may determine that your home modification qualifies for tax deductions. Phone the IRS to see if you're able to deduct the cost of installing your stairlift. IRS Publication 502 is an excellent resource that will enable you to gauge whether changing your stairs qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You may also phone them at (800) 829-1040. 6. If you qualify, some Area Agency of Aging use resources from the Older Americans Act Title III to change dwellings. Call the Eldercare Locator at (800) 677-1116 or visit www.n4a.org 7. Many cities and towns use Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for home alterations, so check with your Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania office. You can call them toll free at 877 866 2476 or visit http://www.nahro.org

11) Are there any structural modifications needed before installing a lift?

No. There are no adjustments which are crucial, since stairlifts do not attach to the wall. The stairlift is installed into existing stair treads. The one thing that we do advocate is that if you're intending to modify the flooring or carpeting on your stairs in the next five years, you might want to intend to do it before you install your stairlift to prevent future removal and re installation costs.

12) Can a stair lift go around corners?

Yes. Although straight stairlifts are commonly not as expensive, curved stairlifts can be custom built to fit any staircase. Modern railing layouts can help the stairlift traveling around corners closely, comfortably, and effortlessly to suit your lifestyle, leaving lots of room for individuals to walk up and down the stairs easily.
