Question 1

Do you accept NHS funding or charity grants for specialist recliner chairs?

Accepted Answer

According to Parkinson’s Foundation, the following home modifications should be made to create a safer home environment:

Stable chairs with armrests and adequate seat height to make sure standing up is easier. Riser recliner chairs are a good choice as they allow the individual to angle their body in a position that is most comfortable to them.
Implement good lighting throughout your home to minimise dark or shadowy areas.
Ensure there are wide walking paths for easy access for a walker or wheelchair.

Question 3

Can occupational therapists specify adjustments for recliner chairs?

Accepted Answer

An occupational therapist should be able to advise on the specification of the chair, from the size and mechanism to the pressure care and postural management needed. If the user has changing requirements, the OT should be able to advise as needed when these components should be changed.

Question 4

How long do specialist recliner chairs typically last in a healthcare setting?

Accepted Answer

This depends on varying factors, such as how many users a chair has, how long the user has spent in the chair, whether the chair has been serviced, the care of the upholstery, and many more important factors. Generally, if the chair has been taken care of, it should last for years in any setting.
