Stairlifts in Elizabethtown and Mount Joy, PA
Elizabethtown and Mount Joy are a pair of small boroughs on the western edge of Lancaster County where we have done seven jobs, five in E-town and two in Mount Joy. Mount Joy borough is one in five residents over 65, Mount Joy Township has the newer homes and higher incomes, and both have the kind of two-story housing where a stair lift keeps the bedrooms in use.
Elizabethtown and Mount Joy homes
Elizabethtown's older blocks near the college and the square are brick twins and singles with straight, steep staircases, and the newer developments off the Hershey Road and around Rheems are two-stories and ranches with a basement flight. Mount Joy's Main Street has the same brick stock, with the Donegal area and Mount Joy Township adding farmhouses and newer homes toward Marietta and Maytown. Elizabethtown is also home to Masonic Village, one of the largest retirement communities in the state, and a good share of our calls here come from families whose parent is still in the house nearby and would rather stay.
Our installs in the two boroughs include a Savaria K2 on a basement staircase in Elizabethtown, a straight lift to the upper level of a Mount Joy home, and a K2 with dual remotes installed in Mount Joy this fall. The recent work strip below pulls them live.

Stairlift options for E-town and Mount Joy
Straight stairlifts: the Savaria K2, 350 lb, slim fold, 3 year parts warranty, is what goes on most staircases here, and the K2 Plus at 400 lb where a wider seat helps. Curved stairlift: for a turn or a landing, the Handicare 4000 is our first choice, with the UP as the alternative with a modular rail and a powered swivel seat included. Pre-owned: certified reconditioned K2 and Harmar Pinnacle units with new batteries and a 3 month service warranty when in stock. Rental: a straight K2 for a recovery, $1,295 to start and $150 a month after three months. Basement and outdoor: a second rail on the basement stairs costs less than people expect because the visit and setup are shared, and an outdoor-rated K2 handles porch steps.

Installation in Elizabethtown and Mount Joy
We measure, confirm which side of the stairs the rail runs on, and settle the parking position so a door or hallway stays clear. A straight lift is installed within a week or two of the visit, in two to three hours, mounted to the treads with nothing on the walls. Curved rails are built from our measurements and installed the week they arrive, two to five weeks after the order. Elizabethtown is about 35 minutes from our shop in Etters, on the same route as Hershey, Hummelstown, and Middletown, so we are nearby most weeks.

Straight answers
Stairlifts in Elizabethtown: common questions
How much does a stairlift cost in Elizabethtown?
Most new straight stairlifts land between about $3,000 and $8,000 installed, pre-owned units roughly half that, and curved rails generally start somewhere around $10,000. Elizabethtown and Mount Joy are inside our normal service area with no travel charge.
Do you install stairlifts in Mount Joy?
Yes. Mount Joy borough and township, Rheems, Marietta, Maytown, and Bainbridge are all on the same route as Elizabethtown, and we have two installs in Mount Joy already.
Can a curved stairlift go in an older Elizabethtown home?
Yes. A curved rail is built to follow the turn and mounts to the treads, so the woodwork and plaster are untouched. We measure every tread and show you the price next to the two-straight-lift alternative.
Can you put a stairlift on basement stairs?
Yes, and we have in Elizabethtown. Basement stairs are often steeper and narrower than the main flight, and the K2 handles both. We check headroom at the bottom and whether the door at the top needs a folding rail.
How soon can you install a stairlift in Elizabethtown?
A free visit usually fits within a few days, and a straight Savaria K2 can often be installed within a week of the visit, sooner if the unit is in stock.
