Packer Park stands apart in South Philadelphia. Built starting in the 1950s on reclaimed land just north of FDR Park, its townhouses break from the city’s tight grid with curving streets and cul-de-sacs, giving it a suburban feel inside city limits.
However many Packer Park homes are spread across several levels: a garage or basement on the ground floor, living space above, and bedrooms on top. Newer sections such as the Reserve add their own multi-story layouts. It’s a great place to put down roots, and with the right equipment it’s a great place to stay.

From the garage up – If you come in through a garage or lower level, a stairlift on that first flight means you can park and get inside without the climb.
Between living floors – Straight rails suit most Packer Park staircases, and curved stairlifts are custom-built for stairs that turn at a landing.
Outside the house – Front steps and patio stairs can be handled with an outdoor stairlift, a modular ramp, or a vertical platform lift.
In the bathroom – ShowerBuddy seats, grab bars, and Dependabars make bathing safer and more comfortable.
Comfort and care –Lift chairs and patient lifts help with standing and with transfers between bed and chair.

Can you put a stairlift on the stairs from my garage? Usually, yes. Interior stairs from a garage or lower level are often a straight run, which suits a standard straight stairlift. We’ll confirm at your assessment.
What if my staircase has a landing? A curved stairlift is custom-built to follow turns and landings, so you can ride from bottom to top without switching chairs.
Should I install now or wait until I really need it? Some homeowners install early for peace of mind; others prefer to plan and wait. We’ll give you the information to decide either way. However, we always advice that the best time to install mobility equipment is before a fall even occurs.
