Buying Furniture for the Elderly with Special Needs
Introduction
When purchasing furniture for an elderly person with special needs, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. This guide will help you make informed choices, ensuring both comfort and functionality.
Assess Health and Mobility
Firstly, evaluate the person's health and mobility. Can they easily sit and stand? If not, consider furniture with assistive technology. Lift chairs and recliners with motorized systems can help them sit and rise effortlessly with just a button press.
Choose the Right Upholstery
The type of upholstery is crucial. If sliding is an issue, avoid slick leather and opt for textured fabrics. This can prevent slips and provide more stability when sitting.
Prioritize Easy Maintenance
Select furniture that is easy to clean, especially if there are health concerns that might lead to occasional spills. Easy-to-clean surfaces will make maintenance manageable.
Consider Personal Preferences
Respect personal tastes despite any vision impairments. If your loved one dislikes certain patterns or colors, accommodate their preferences. Find pieces that complement your existing decor without compromising their style, like choosing a solid blue lift chair to match a floral sofa set.
Seek Professional Advice
Don’t hesitate to ask furniture sales representatives for help. Explain your specific needs?"they are trained to assist you. If the local store doesn’t have what you need, they can direct you to online resources or medical supply stores.
Explore All Options
Consider medical supply stores, which often carry specialized furniture like lift chairs. These stores provide more than just medical necessities, and their products can greatly enhance comfort and quality of life.
Involve the Elderly Person
If possible, take the elderly person with you on the shopping trip. Their input is invaluable and ensures that your choice meets their preferences and needs.
Conclusion
Choosing the right furniture for an elderly person with special needs requires thoughtful consideration of their health, comfort, and personal taste. With the right approach, you can find options that both you and your loved one will appreciate for years to come.
