Choosing the right chair for your loved one

Geriatric Chairs are specially designed for older persons. Some key features include being extra sturdy, adjustable angles, and firm armrests to support users in standing. Read on to find out more.

For many seniors, lazy chairs are the go-to choice for relaxing, watching television, and reading. These chairs are popular for their comfort and casual design. However, spending long hours in a lazy chair can lead to issues with posture and may not always provide the ideal seat height. For enhanced comfort and better posture support, a sturdy high-back chair with reclining features might be a better choice.

1. High Back Chair

The Classic Geriatric Chair can be equipped with two wheels on the front legs, allowing the user to be easily moved closer to the table during mealtimes.

2. Recliner Geriatric Chair

For those looking for additional features, consider the Vermeiren Normandie Geriatric Chair, which includes a convenient tray table and adjustable armrests to facilitate easy transfers. It provides better support for the back and neck, promoting healthier posture.

3. Lift Chair

The Ontario 2 chair can recline fully to 180 degrees, providing a comfortable option for users to nap whenever they wish. It also features a motorized lift mechanism to assist users in rising from a seated position, along with adjustable reclining positions for added comfort and ease of movement.
