    My googling tells me:

    Minimum cost: Around $20,000

    Maximum cost: Up to $100,000 or more

    National average: Approximately $48,000

      My parents put in a stair lift. I’d expect more are doing something like that where they are a few thousand bucks. But you still need to be able to transfer to/from the seat. It doesn’t accommodate a wheelchair.

      It’s not such an extravagant purchase when it’s the only way my father could make it up and down from his bedroom.
