The Collins Difference

A local team that knows your situation

We have been helping Connecticut families navigate mobility challenges since 1931. When a permanent stairlift is not the answer, we have options — and we will be honest with you about which one fits.

No installation headaches

The Genesis Mobile Stairlift requires no drilling, no permits, and no structural changes to your home. It works on most standard staircases and is ready to use the same day we deliver it.

Renters welcome

If you rent your home, a permanent stairlift may not be an option. The Genesis is a fully portable solution that leaves no trace — and goes with you if you move.

Short-term or long-term

Recovering from surgery? Hosting a family member for a few months? The Genesis is available to rent with no long-term contract. Use it as long as you need it, then return it when you are done.

We walk you through everything

Our team delivers the Genesis and demonstrates full operation to both you and your caregiver before we leave. You will feel confident and ready — not left to figure it out on your own.

Local support after delivery

We are based in Bridgeport and serve all of Connecticut. If a question comes up after delivery, you call us directly. No national call center. No ticket system. Just Collins.

Honest guidance, always

If the Genesis is not the right fit for your staircase or situation, we will tell you — and point you toward what is. We have been doing this for four generations because we put the right solution first.

For Renters and Temporary Needs

Can't do a permanent installation? We have a solution.

We understand that not every home — and not every situation — is right for a permanent stairlift. Maybe you rent your home. Maybe you are recovering from surgery and only need help for a few months. Maybe a family member is visiting and the stairs have become a barrier. Whatever the reason, you deserve a safe way to move between floors. The Genesis Mobile Stairlift is a battery-powered, operator-assisted climbing chair that works on most standard staircases without any drilling, permits, or permanent changes to your home. Our CAPS-certified specialist will confirm it is the right fit for your staircase during a free consultation — and walk your caregiver through full operation before we leave.

Funding Options

We help you navigate the options

Paying for mobility equipment can feel overwhelming. We review every available pathway with you at no charge during your free consultation.

CT Medicaid Programs

Some CT Medicaid programs may cover mobility equipment depending on your eligibility and documentation. We work with these programs regularly and can help determine if you may qualify. Funding availability depends on your individual situation.

CT Waiver Programs

Various CT waiver programs may provide funding for mobility and accessibility equipment. Eligibility depends on your program enrollment. We coordinate directly with your case manager to explore what may apply to your situation.

Private Pay and Rental

Purchase the Genesis outright or rent it with no long-term contract required. Rental is an excellent option for short-term recovery or temporary living situations. We will walk you through all the numbers at your free consultation.

CareCredit Financing

We accept CareCredit healthcare financing for flexible payment options. Ask us about current promotional terms during your evaluation. CareCredit can make purchase more accessible when upfront cost is a concern.

Funding availability varies by individual situation. We review your options at no charge during your free evaluation.

When a Mobile Lift Is Not the Right Answer

The Genesis is a wonderful solution for the right situation — but it does require a caregiver or operator to be present every time it is used. If you need to move between floors independently, a permanent stairlift may be a better fit. We carry the Harmar SL300 and SL600 for straight staircases, and the Flow X for curved staircases. We will always tell you honestly which option makes the most sense for your home and your life — even if that means pointing you in a different direction.

We will always be straightforward with you. If the Genesis is not the right fit, we would rather tell you now and point you toward the solution that actually works — than have you struggle with the wrong equipment at home.

Common Questions

Questions we hear every day

Honest answers from a team that has been doing this since 1931.

Does the Genesis Mobile Stairlift require any installation or drilling?
No. The Genesis Mobile Stairlift requires no permanent installation, no drilling, and no permits. It operates on most standard staircases and can be set up and ready to use in minutes. This makes it an ideal solution for renters, temporary needs, or any situation where a permanent lift is not possible.
Can I use the Genesis Mobile Stairlift on my own?
The Genesis is an operator-assisted device, which means a caregiver or family member needs to be present and operating the lift each time it is used. It is not designed for independent use. During delivery, our team will walk both you and your caregiver through the full operation so everyone feels confident and comfortable.
How long does the battery last?
The Genesis Mobile Stairlift is rated for approximately 40 flights of stairs on a single charge. For most home situations, this is more than enough for a full day of use. A battery charger is included with every unit, and our team will show you how to keep it charged and ready.
What is the weight capacity of the Genesis Mobile Stairlift?
The Genesis Mobile Stairlift supports users up to 250 pounds. If you or your loved one exceeds this weight limit, our CAPS-certified specialist can discuss alternative options during your free consultation — including our permanent stairlift line.
Can I rent the Genesis instead of buying it?
Yes. The Genesis Mobile Stairlift is available for both purchase and rental. Rental is a great option for short-term recovery, temporary living situations, or if you want to try it before committing. There is no long-term rental contract required. Pricing for both options is quoted at your free consultation.
Will funding or insurance help cover the cost?
Funding availability depends on your individual situation and program enrollment. Some CT Medicaid and waiver programs may provide support for mobility equipment. We review your options at no charge during your free evaluation and help you navigate whatever pathways may apply to your situation.
Does it work on curved or outdoor staircases?
The Genesis Mobile Stairlift is designed for standard straight staircases. During your free consultation, our specialist will assess your specific staircase to confirm compatibility. If your staircase is curved or the Genesis is not the right fit, we will let you know and discuss alternatives — including our permanent curved stairlift options.
How quickly can I get the Genesis Mobile Stairlift?
Because the Genesis requires no installation or permits, delivery can often happen much faster than a permanent stairlift. After your free consultation confirms it is the right fit, our local team coordinates delivery and a full demonstration — typically within the same week. Just call us and we will work around your schedule.
