Dining chairs with arms for elderly to comfort needs

September 13, 2022

Older people spend a significant portion of their day sitting, making comfort an essential factor in their daily lives. When sitting in their chair, your elderly relative may complain of aches and pains, or they may start to slump in their chair, or even worse, they may slide down or tumble out of their chair.  When this occurs, you could decide to investigate the possibility of purchasing or renting an appropriate dining chairs with arms for elderly to fulfill their requirements. But there is such a wide variety of chairs and other seating alternatives now available on the market, it is not always easy to determine which dining chairs would be most appropriate for an aging family member before making a purchase. This article's goal is to assist you in discerning between the many options that are available so that you may select the kind of dining chairs with arms for elderly most suitable for your loved one.

 

The Top Seven Features of Dining Chairs That you should consider for Elderly Patients

 

1. Relaxation

Comfort is very crucial because if the dining chairs with arms for elderly the patient is sitting in is not comfortable, then none of the other considerations matter. The right chair may help the patient spend less time in bed, which directly improves their overall quality of life.

 

2. Every Feature Ought to Be Adjustable

With several adjustment mechanisms, a single chair may accommodate the patient's long-term and ever-evolving demands. This includes having a seat width that can be modified so that you can constantly adjust the chair to fit the patient's size, regardless of whether they gain or lose weight over time. This helps to guarantee that the patient is always positioned correctly in dining chairs with arms for ederly.

 

3. Wheels

It is much simpler for family members or caregivers to move a patient from their bedroom to a day room, living room, or even outside to enjoy different stimuli and views when the patient is seated in a chair equipped with wheels. This is because wheelchairs make it possible to move through a home or care facility much more quickly. This stimulates social engagement and inclusion with other residents of the care home or with other members of the patient's family. Wheels are an essential feature on every dining chairs with arms for elderly offered by Seating Matters.

 

4. The Management of Pressure as the Standard

Your loved one will require pressure management in their dining chairs with arms for elderly if they cannot transfer their weight when they get uncomfortable sitting for extended amounts of time or sitting for long durations throughout the day. Increased comfort and a decreased likelihood of developing pressure ulcers are also benefits of pressure control throughout the chair (bed sores). Ulcers from pressure may be excruciating and disabling. One mustn't undervalue the degree of difficulty and the number of problems that a pressure ulcer may bring.

 

5. Support for the Head

Patients whose head control is poor or declining will require additional head support, which can come in the form of a structured head pillow or another type of head support built into the chair. This will ensure the patient's comfort and support are maintained throughout the head, neck, and spine. Because poor head control may affect a patient's ability to breathe and eat, it is essential to support the patient's head if the patient has difficulty maintaining independent head control.

 


6. Lateral Supports

Lateral supports enable the person seated in the dining chairs with arms for elderly to keep their body in a midline posture, which is much more difficult to achieve when muscles are tired, and gravity pulls our bodies forward during sitting. This is especially true when our bodies have been sitting for an extended period. The individual's degree of comfort may be increased by using lateral supports, which can also benefit the individual's breathing, swallowing, and digestive systems, which are all impacted by their posture and alignment.


7. Footrest

Our feet are responsible for carrying 19% of our total body weight. Suppose the patient has limited mobility or is immobile. In that case, they will need to be able to load their feet on either a leg rest, a footplate, or the ground to maintain stability and control pressure redistribution throughout the body properly. Determine how their condition is likely to progress over time. For example, a patient may be relatively mobile at the moment. Still, their level of mobility may decrease within the next six months or one year - will the chair continue to meet their needs once they are entirely unable to stand on their own?
