Specialist Chairs for People with Alzheimer's Disease
Specialist seating designed to support comfort, safety and day-to-day wellbeing
Alzheimer’s disease can affect mobility, posture, comfort, awareness and the ability to remain safely seated for extended periods. As the condition progresses, individuals may experience increased fatigue, restlessness, changes in movement and greater reliance on carers for daily support. Specialist seating can help provide stability, pressure care and supportive positioning while promoting comfort, dignity and safer day-to-day care routines.
