Question 1

Are lift chairs safe for seniors?

Accepted Answer

Lift chairs can be a helpful option for seniors and adults who have difficulty sitting down or standing up independently. The chair should be properly sized for the user and operated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Individual mobility, balance and transfer ability should also be considered when choosing a lift chair.

Question 2

Are lift chairs tax deductible in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are tax deductible in Canada. But for that, you have to show to the Canadian Government and Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) that they fall under a particular ailment-related expense, and you are using it for that purpose mainly. Typically, a doctors script is sufficient for them to be tax deductible.

Question 3

How do I choose the right size lift chair?

Accepted Answer

The right lift chair depends on more than just height. Seat width, seat depth, seat-to-floor height, weight capacity and backrest height all affect comfort and positioning. Your feet should be properly supported while seated, and the chair should provide enough room without being excessively wide. Function At Home can help match the chair size to the individual before purchase.

Question 4

What happens to my lift chair if the power in my home goes out?

Accepted Answer

All lift chairs supplied by Pride Mobility have a battery back up. With some models, it is simply a 9v battery that goes into the power cord brick. Some lift chairs also have a lithium-ion battery which is continuously charging. Overall, fear not if the power goes out in your home, as all lift chairs from Function At Home have a battery back up option.
