Rise Recline Chairs

A Riser Recliner chair will help you get from sitting to standing. They have a function that lifts and tips the whole chair up, helping you ease up to your feet gently.

Chair occupancy sensor

A chair occupancy sensor is a device, usually a pressure pad, placed under a chair's cushion to monitor if someone is sitting in it. It can alert caregivers or emergency response centers if the person leaves the chair and doesn't return within a set time, potentially indicating a fall or other issue. These sensors are often used for individuals with limited mobility or those at risk of falls

Things to consider:

· It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure this equipment is secure.

· Weight restrictions apply.

· There are different levels of pressure relief available in chairs, ranging from “low”/ foam, “medium”/ gel, or “high”/air.

· If considering buying a chair, ask your doctor or nurse for advice on pressure relief.

· For electric chairs, make sure you can use the controls safely. If not, have someone available to help.

· It is important not to raise the height of your chair too much.

Benefits:

· Help you get from sitting to standing.

· Help you adjust your position for comfort.

· Helps to sit or elevate the legs to reduce fluid build-up which can happen due to medical conditions and/or remaining seated for long periods.

Top Tips:

· There are numerous suppliers to choose from. An Amazon search for recliner chairs will bring up equipment suppliers.

· Compare prices for the same equipment on different websites; some may be on sale or special offer.

· Search for customer reviews for specific equipment and suppliers, particularly for more expensive items.
