Disability Chairs
Those that live with any form of disability are faced with the prospect of some of the most basic human functions becoming more difficult to perform. Professional carers and caregivers appreciate the detrimental effect that poor support structures can have on the body over time. This is especially true of chairs, given that even those who have complete functionality can expect to spend many hours each day in a seated position. Disability chairs are, therefore, an incredibly important piece of support furniture that transforms the lives of many.Disability Chairs That Make a Real Difference
At Seating Matters, we have gone to great lengths to determine exactly what is required physically for those that require care, so that we could funnel this information into the creation of chairs that were built for purpose. The possibility of making a real difference for those with disabilities is the obvious benefit that we have been able to achieve. However, it is also worth mentioning that carers and healthcare professionals also stand to benefit from having better chairs for their patients.
Naturally, the focus in all workplaces today is on best practices with regards to ergonomics. Nursing staff whose patients are supported by our superior chairs are afforded the possibility to carry out their duties without having to fear personal discomfort or indeed causing discomfort. This makes enhancing the quality of life for patients much easier and allows staff to focus on their specialist care, rather than having to tend to injuries or wounds that are caused by inferior chairs.
How Using Therapeutic Seating Can Improve Quality of Life
Therapeutic seating from the team here at Seating Matters is designed to provide comfort, safety, pressure care and support for those with special needs. Our chairs have clinical evidence behind them that shows they can help to prevent pressure injuries and sores.
The findings of a 2-year study undertaken by Ulster University have been presented at over 30 international conferences, but the most telling proof that a disability chair designed and manufactured by us works is in the universally positive testimonials and feedback that we have received from users and caregivers.
Anyone in care or anyone who has secure care for a loved one wants the very best for them. Our chairs make a very real difference in alleviating many tasks and jobs for staff, which leads to cost savings that can then be funnelled into other services.
For the patients and those who need a proper supportive seat beneath them throughout the day, our chairs are the ideal solution to reduce the amount of time spent in bed as well as improving posture and overall function. However traumatic a slip or fall from a chair is for the family and carers, the impact this can have on the person with special needs is magnified many more times. Our chairs are designed to help reduce this possibility and improve their overall comfort standards.
Book a Free Seating Assessment or a Free Disability Chair Trial
Here at Seating Matters, we know that our disability chairs are vastly superior to any others available on the market today. We encourage anyone who requires a better chair, or occupational therapists working with clients with NDIS packages, or nursing home or hospital managers to get in touch to secure a free, no-obligation seating assessment or a free chair trial.
A seating assessment only lasts an hour and will allow us to determine the ideal model from our catalogue, which can then be trialled for free. We are determined to change the world of healthcare seating and so we invite you to benefit from our commitment in this regard and find the comfort that you, your patients or your loved ones deserve.
