Seat Lift Chairs:

Seat lift chairs are an affordable and beneficial mobility aid to seniors with arthritis or other issues where they find difficulty or experience pain when going from either a standing to a sitting position or from a sitting to a standing position.  The seat lift chair comes with a hand held remote that slowly raises or lowers the chair.  Simply put, the seat lift chair is a valuable and affordable accessory that can benefit most seniors with their mobility so they can achieve independence and remain safe within their own home for years to come.

2.

• Patient must have severe arthritis of hip of knee or have severe neuromuscular disease. Diagnosis required.

3.

• Patient must be a part of the physician's course of treatment and be prescribed to effect improvement, or arrest or retard deterioration of the patient's condition.

      4.

• Patient must be completely incapable of standing up from any chair in his/her home.  The fact that a patient has difficulty or is even incapable of getting up from a chair, particularly a low chair, is not sufficient justification for a seat-lift mechanism.

•  Once standing, the patient must have the ability to safety ambulate.

Even if you don't meet the above 5 criteria, Mobilis will work with you on your purchase.  Financing is available.
