There are many reasons to consider investing in a lift chair for your home. The ability to remain independent is important to an individual’s quality of life. There are wide ranges of illnesses, diseases, and disorders that may render people’s ability to stand up from a seated position. This is where having a lift chair can come in handy!
Here are a few of the main advantages of having a lift chair.
Safety
A lift chair gently lifts you from a seated position and places you squarely on your feet without any strain or unnecessary effort, which is great for preventing falls and accidents. Lift chairs are also better for caregivers, so they won’t have to worry about trying to lift their patients physically.
Increased Independence
No one wants to depend on others to do seemingly simple tasks like answering the phone or going to the bathroom. A lift chair enables people to get around without needing help from someone else, which greatly increases a person’s sense of independence, especially seniors!
Less Strain on Joints
Lift chairs make it easy on the body, which is especially helpful if you’ve had a joint replaced. A lift chair won’t place added on weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips or irritate the wrists, elbows, and shoulders like pushing up from a regular chair will.
Improved Mobility
The less you move around, the more your mobility deteriorates. When people are confined to a chair or a bed, they are likely to experience a decrease in muscle mass, balance, coordination, and proper circulation. Using a lift chair will make it easy for people to be more active and maintain strength.
Comfortability
Lift chairs are more spacious than regular chairs, making them more comfortable to sit in. This added comfort will make people feel better both physically and mentally. When they feel good, they will be more motivated to move around and keep up with their strength.
