Straight Stairlifts

Keep the people you love safe in the home they love

The Easiest Decision You Can Make for Someone You Care About

When a parent refuses to move, and a full renovation is not realistic, a straight stairlift is often the answer that families did not know they were looking for. It attaches to the stairs, not the walls, causes no damage to the home, and chair lift installation is completed in a single day in most cases. There is no construction to manage, no difficult conversation about moving, and no waiting months for a solution.

For families across Virginia who need to act quickly and confidently, Area Access makes the process simple from the first phone call to the final step.

The Right Straight Stairlift for Every Home and Every Family

Area Access installs Stannah indoor stairlifts, a trusted name in chair lift solutions for families across Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic. Stannah offers three straight stairlift models to fit different needs and preferences, each with a 300 lb capacity and a slim rail that keeps the staircase open and usable for everyone in the home. For families weighing multiple options, Area Access also carries a full range of residential elevators and lifts to support longer-term accessibility planning.

  • Siena 600

    The Siena 600 is Stannah’s flagship straight stairlift, and it is the model Area Access recommends most often for families who want a long-term solution that feels right at home. A power folding footrest comes standard, more than six upholstery colors are available, and the slim rail keeps the staircase clear for the rest of the household. For families searching for a stairlift for elderly parents that is built to last and easy to live with every day, the Siena 600 delivers.

  • Starla 600

    The Starla 600 runs on the same straight rail system as the Siena 600 but features a woven fabric seat that adds a layer of everyday comfort for users who rely on the lift multiple times a day. For a parent or family member who will be using it consistently, that comfort makes a meaningful difference in how natural and easy the experience feels.

Stannah stairlifts operate on a built-in battery backup, so they continue working during a power outage. The lift charges automatically when parked at either end of the rail, so it is always ready when it is needed. Our team is happy to walk you through how it works during your free in-home evaluation.
