Honoring Veterans: Improving Home Accessibility in New York and Western Pennsylvania
At Access Elevator, we proudly serve veterans and families across Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Erie, and surrounding areas. This Veterans Day, we salute those who’ve defended our freedom, and reaffirm our commitment to helping them live independently at home.
Through our partnership with Cibes Symmetry, we deliver elevators and platform lifts that enhance accessibility, comfort, and confidence — helping homeowners across New York and Western Pennsylvania maintain their independence with style and reliability.
The Challenge: Adapting Homes for Safe, Independent Living
Returning home after service can bring new physical challenges. Everyday obstacles like stairs or raised entries can limit access, safety, and confidence. Adapting a home with accessibility solutions helps veterans stay independent, reducing physical strain and improving quality of life.
That’s why Access Elevator installs Cibes Symmetry’s innovative accessibility products, including Vertical Platform Lifts and compact residential elevators — designed for comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

Reliable, functional, and strong — its accessibility designed with veterans in mind.

Choosing the right partner for stairlift installation is what really ensures that you are getting a solution that is tailored for you. Here is why we are the go-to choice for stairlift installation in the area:
Placing a home elevator in or near the living room makes it easy for everyone in the family to access the main areas of your home. You can move between floors smoothly without interrupting daily routines, and guests or family members with mobility challenges can navigate your space with confidence, too!
For your home, a platform lift can make a world of difference in how you and your family move through multi-level spaces. Platform lifts give you safe, reliable access between floors, helping family members with mobility challenges maintain independence and confidence.

Every home is different. A curved stairway in Jamestown isn’t the same as a straight staircase in Buffalo or a split-level layout in Erie. That’s why precision matters.
At Access Elevator, we specialize in custom curved stair lifts for homeowners in Buffalo, Jamestown, Erie, PA, and beyond—including Syracuse, Rochester, and The Finger Lakes. Here’s how to know if this option is right for you:
Let’s break it down together so you know exactly what to expect.
But choosing to install a Cibes Symmetry home elevator is just the beginning. One of the most critical decisions you will make is which drive system powers your elevator. It is not just about lifting and lowering, it is about how your elevator feels, how it sounds, and how it fits your lifestyle.
Simple, strong, and reliable, the Multilift is perfect for homes or businesses that need an outdoor or indoor lift that is easy to use and does not complicate your space. With multiple entry and exit setups and a compact footprint, it is a favorite both indoors and out, and where space is limited. Built for constant use, the Multilift holds up under pressure with a sturdy 750 lb. capacity.
With so many types of home elevators on the market today, it is important to choose the right drive system for your lifestyle. That is where hydraulic drive home elevators truly stand out!
Repetitive lifting and stabilizing can lead to back pain, sore joints, and even lasting injuries. A straight stair lift takes that burden off your shoulders, giving your loved one the freedom to move between floors safely without relying on you for support.
One of the most appealing features of hybrid wheelchair lifts is their ability to be customized to fit your specific space. Whether it is a multi-level home or a commercial building, hybrid wheelchair lifts can be tailored to suit a variety of layouts. Hybrid lifts come in different sizes and configurations, allowing you to select a model that works perfectly within the available space. You can even choose from various finishes, colors, and interior designs to match the lift to your home or business décor, ensuring it’s not just functional but also stylish!
One of the most surprising yet effective places to install a custom elevator is in your closet. This option works especially well for multi-level homes, offering a practical solution to transport heavy items like seasonal clothes, bins, laundry, or even a person if the space is large enough and structurally fitting. Custom elevators are designed to fit in compact spaces, and a closet installation ensures that your space remains organized while improving access to storage on higher floors.
As a caregiver, safety for your loved one is a pressing concern. Stairway lifts are crafted with just that in mind, offering robust safety features like seatbelts, controlled speed adjustments, and smooth stops, all aimed at making each ride stable and secure. Many stairway lifts also include sensors that detect anything obstructing the path, so there is no need to worry about unexpected bumps or stops.
