If your staircase has turns, landings, or curves, you may think installing a stairlift sounds complicated. The good news? Curved stairlifts are custom-designed to fit your staircase perfectly – and the process is much simpler than most people expect.
A curved stairlift isn’t just about convenience. It’s about safety, independence, and staying in the home you love for as long as possible.
What Is a Curved Stairlift?
A curved stairlift is designed specifically for staircases that are not straight. This includes stairs with:
- One or more turns;
- Intermediate landings; or
- Spiral or winding designs.
Because every curved staircase is different, the rail is custom-made to match your exact layout. The result is a smooth, secure ride that follows the natural flow of your stairs without altering the structure of your home.
The Assessment Process Is Easy – and Free
It’s simple!
We send a professional assessor to your home for a free, no-obligation assessment. The visit typically takes about 20 minutes, and the assessor is there to:
- Measure your staircase
- Review all available options
- Answer any questions you may have
After the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed quote based on your specific staircase and needs.
Flexible Options to Fit Your Budget
Curved stairlifts come with several purchasing options:
- Purchase a new curved stairlift;
- Rent a curved stairlift; or
- Buy a pre-owned chair with a custom-made rail.
Choosing a pre-owned chair can save you up to $4,000, while still receiving a rail built specifically for your staircase.
No Tax, Installation Included, and Tax Credits Available
There are several financial benefits that make curved stairlifts more affordable than many people realize:
- No tax on stairlifts
- Professional installation is included
- Eligible for government medical tax credits
Because a stairlift qualifies as a medical device, you can often claim upwards of 25% back as a tax credit when filing your taxes in Ontario, Canada.
A Cost-Effective Alternative to Retirement Living
A curved stairlift typically starts at $10,000+, depending on the staircase and options selected.
While that may seem like a large upfront cost, it’s important to compare it to the alternatives.
In 2026, retirement homes average $3,000 to $4,000 per month – and that doesn’t include the emotional cost of leaving your home, packing up a lifetime of memories, or adjusting to a living situation that may not feel like your first choice.
A stairlift allows you to:
- Stay safely in your home longer
- Maintain independence
- Avoid the stress and disruption of moving
For many people, it’s not just a financial decision: it’s a quality-of-life decision.
