Chairs For Elderly

Chairs for Elderly

There's nothing like a good chair, is there? The perfect chair lets you feel comfortable when it's time to relax and unwind. It provides support, while being a cozy place to rest when you chat with friends, watch television, read or enjoy other activities. For seniors, the right chair can even improve safety around the home by decreasing the risk of falls. Many seniors find that they have a difficult time sitting down on furniture or standing back up due to stiffness, pain or dizziness. Adding a lift or motion chair to an elderly person's home can help them to still enjoy sitting in a comfortable, attractive chair without having to struggle to lower themselves into it or get on their feet after use. Lift chairs can help seniors remain independent for longer and provide their families and caregivers peace of mind, knowing that they have taken steps to lessen the likelihood of falls. Walgreens offers a variety of styles of chairs for the elderly and can ship one right to the intended user's home for your convenience.

Finding the Perfect Chair for You and Your Family Member

Walgreens carries a wide selection of lift chairs that can help make it easier for seniors to sit safely. Motion chairs work in different ways depending on their design. In some models, the entire chair tilts forward to bring the user to their feet. These chairs often look like recliners, and some have dual motors that allow seniors to elevate their feet while they're sitting. Other lift chairs have stationary frames with moving seats. With this style of chair for the elderly, it is often more difficult to tell that the seat is a lift chair just by looking at it. You'll even find lifting cushions that can be placed on top of the existing chairs in a home. In addition to lift and motion chairs and seats, Walgreens carries wheelchairs for the elderly. These mobility devices are designed not for resting but for moving safely around one's home or when out in public. Just as we carry a multitude of lift chair styles, we have many wheelchair models to meet your needs. If you need advice about what specific features you or your loved one need in a chair, talk to your doctor to get started.
