Mobility Stairlifts in Wilmington, NC

Trusted Chair Lift Provider

Mobility stair lifts are a great way to help those with mobility issues stay safe and independent in their own homes. 101 Mobility of Wilmington provides an easy, cost-effective solution for people who can no longer navigate stairs safely or easily due to age, injury, or disability.

Our Wilmington stair lifts enable users to access all levels of the home without having to struggle up and down steps. These devices come in a variety of models that are designed for both indoor and outdoor use depending on the needs of the individual user.

Installing a mobility stair lift is relatively simple compared with other types of accessibility modifications such as ramps or elevators which require more construction work and engineering expertise.

Mobility stair lifts typically consist of only two components - one track that mounts directly onto existing stairs, along with either an electric motorized chairlift or manual platform lift unit that moves up and down along this track providing direct access from floor level at one end right up into higher floors at the opposite end.

Our Wilmington stairlift installation process usually takes just a few hours by experienced technicians who will make sure everything is properly set up before leaving your property so you can start using it immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my insurance cover the cost of a stair lift?

When it comes to stair lifts, the answer to whether or not insurance will cover the cost is complicated. In some cases, insurance may cover part of the cost of a stair lift if it is deemed medically necessary for an individual's health and safety. However, in most cases, insurance companies will not pay for a stairlift as they typically consider them to be home modifications that are considered non-essential from a medical standpoint.

In order to determine if your particular situation qualifies for coverage under your current policy or plan you should contact your insurer directly and inquire about their specific policies regarding this type of equipment. When speaking with an agent at the company make sure you have all relevant information such as details on any pre-existing conditions which might necessitate using a mobility device such as this one handy so they can accurately assess whether or not coverage applies to your case specifically.

How Much Does it Cost to Put in a Stairlift?

When considering the cost of installing a stair lift, it's important to understand that several factors influence the overall expense. Therefore, there is no universal answer to this question. The total cost depends on various elements, including the specific type of stair lift required and the extent of features and customization desired.

For example, if you seek a basic stair lift model with minimal extras that solely serves the purpose of transporting a user along a straight staircase, it may be available at approximately $3,250. Conversely, higher-end models with sleeker designs, increased weight capacities, and additional customizations such as power-folding rails or seat materials that match your home décor, can start from around $4,500 and go up from there.
