Chair Lift Systems | Home Mobility Solutions
Improve home mobility with professionally installed chair lift systems designed for straight and curved staircases. Safe, smooth access to every floor—customized for your home.
Stairs can become one of the biggest obstacles in a home when mobility changes. A chair lift offers a safe, reliable way to use every level of the house without the strain of climbing steps or holding onto rails that no longer feel secure. Home Mobility Solutions installs professionally engineered chair lift systems for straight and curved staircases, providing access to bedrooms, laundry areas, basements, and living spaces that might otherwise become difficult—or impossible—to reach.
Home Mobility Solutions helps homeowners throughout the Lowcountry stay in the homes they love by improving indoor accessibility. Chair lifts are one of the most impactful changes a person can make, especially when daily life involves carrying items up and down stairs, managing joint pain, or recovering from an injury that limits weight-bearing. Our goal is simple: to make your home functional on every floor without sacrificing safety or comfort.
How Chair Lifts Improve Access Inside the Home
Chair lifts are designed to carry a person up and down a staircase using a powered rail system mounted to the stairs—not the wall. The chair travels smoothly along the rail, allowing the user to sit comfortably, push a control button, and arrive at the next floor without climbing steps or maintaining balance on uneven surfaces.
Because the lift is installed directly to the stair treads, the structure of the home remains intact. This also means the system can be installed on straight or curved staircases, split landings, tight hallway transitions, or multi-floor layouts where the staircase changes direction. The design includes a fold-away seat and footrest, which means the stairs remain passable for other family members.
For individuals with limited mobility, the difference is immediate: every level of the home becomes accessible again. Sleeping upstairs, doing laundry, or reaching the kitchen no longer requires assistance or physical strain. Instead of rearranging the entire home around one level, the chair lift adapts the house to the person.
The Safety and Comfort Benefits of a Chair Lift
Falls on stairs are one of the most serious risks for older adults and for anyone dealing with reduced strength, joint pain, or balance issues.
Each step creates a moment where weight shifts, knees bend, and the body relies on coordination—not just strength. A chair lift removes these risks by keeping the person seated and secured throughout the full movement.
The safety advantages are clear: no leaning on railings, no stepping to different heights, and no risk of catching a toe on an edge while transitioning between steps. The motion is smooth and controlled, and the chair includes seatbelts, armrests, and easy hand controls placed within natural reach.
Comfort matters just as much as safety. The seating is designed to support posture without strain. Armrests provide leverage for sitting and standing. Controls are intuitive, even for individuals with reduced hand flexibility. Remote controls allow the lift to be moved between levels, and sensors detect obstructions on the stairs to prevent movement until the path is clear.
For family members and caregivers, the lift also reduces the physical strain of helping someone navigate stairs. Instead of steadying a person step by step, the lift manages the movement so the caregiver can focus on support and comfort rather than balancing body weight.

Our Chair Lift Installation Approach and Evaluation Process
Chair lifts are not off-the-shelf products.
Every staircase has its own geometry, angles, landing points, and clearances. That’s why the process begins in the home—not in a catalog.
In-home evaluation
We start by measuring the staircase, assessing tread depth, railing position, nearby doors, and the angle of the stairs. We also take into account the user’s mobility level, ideal seating height, and where the lift needs to stop or park on each floor.
Product selection based on real needs
Some chair lifts are built for narrow staircases, while others are designed for continuous curved rails that allow smooth turns at landings. Power swivel seats can make entry easier. Folding rails can prevent blocking walkways. Instead of pushing features that don’t add value, we walk through the options that fit the layout and mobility needs.
Professional installation by accessibility specialists
All installation work is completed by licensed, insured technicians who install mobility equipment every week—not contractors who rotate between roofing one day and lifts the next. We mount the rail to the stair treads, align the lift to glide smoothly, and secure all components to prevent flexing or vibration.
Walk-through and lifetime support
After installation, we show the user how to operate the lift confidently: how to sit and stand safely, how to move the chair between levels, and what to do if something interrupts movement. If questions come up later, clients reach us directly—not a support line with no connection to the installation.
Features Designed for Stability, Ease, and Everyday Use
Chair lifts are engineered for daily reliability.
The products we install focus on predictable movement, long-term durability, and controls that feel natural for people with changing mobility needs.
Standard features typically include:
- padded seating designed for posture support
- folding seats and footrests to keep the stairs clear
- seatbelts and armrests for secure movement
- battery backup that works during power outages
- smooth start-and-stop motion to avoid sudden shifts
- obstruction sensors on the carriage and footrest
- remote controls to move the lift between levels
Curved stair lifts are custom-built for the home, with rails formed to match the exact path of the stairs. This allows the chair to glide through turns, landings, and continuous runs without forcing the user to transfer between different segments of the system.
Quiet operation, soft movement, and materials that hold up over years of use are essential. That’s why we work with manufacturers known for reliability, not just appearance. The purpose of a chair lift is confidence and safety—not complexity.

Who Benefits From a Chair Lift and Where We Install Them
Chair lifts are one of the most versatile accessibility upgrades because they support so many different situations.
They’re ideal for individuals who are preparing to age in place, managing reduced mobility after surgery, or living with conditions that affect balance, strength, or joint health. They’re also valuable for homeowners who simply want to stay connected to every level of their home without rearranging their lifestyle to avoid stairs.
We install chair lifts in:
- single-family homes
- townhomes and condos
- multi-story rental properties (with owner approval)
- homes with curved or narrow staircases
- older homes with limited stair access
If you’re unsure whether a chair lift is the right solution for your home, we’ll take the time to evaluate the space and explain your options clearly. There’s no commitment required to get the information you need.
