lift chair
Standing assistance furniture
A lift chair is a powered recliner with a mechanism that tilts the entire seat forward and up, helping the occupant rise to a standing position.
Designed for people with mobility limitations—the elderly, those recovering from surgery, or anyone who struggles to stand from a seated position.
The chair typically reclines as well, and may include heat or massage features.
Medicare may cover part of the cost of a lift chair with a doctor's prescription.
