What caused this need?
A 53 year old male who has significant weakness to both lower extremities and to his left arm due to two spine lesions is in urgent need for a lift chair. He had received one from a member of the community when he first started to loose his independence and mobility, however the mechanism in the chair has stopped working. This has resulted in great physical strain for his formal and informal caregivers as they are required to lift him from a lower position in the chair. The lift chair also gave him the ability to adjust his positioning throughout the day, without the need for hands on assistance, to reduce his risk for skin breakdown and pressure ulcers. He does not have the funds to purchase a new chair or to repair the current chair due to a limited income. A lift chair that has been gently used and is in working order would be greatly appreciated.
