Fitform swivelling, foldable side panel
Is it difficult to transfer from a wheelchair to an armchair?

Wheelchair users prefer to be as self-sufficient as possible. It's also nice to be able to relax in a comfortable armchair at home. However, transferring from a wheelchair to an ergonomic armchair is frequently difficult, increasing the risk of falling. Even with a hoist, there is frequently insufficient space in an ordinary armchair for a smooth transfer.
Because of this impediment, some people are forced to remain in their wheelchairs for far too long. As a result, they do not get enough quality rest.
The solution
A swivelling side panel makes transitioning from wheelchair to armchair much easier. The side panel of the chair is easily folded backwards, so that a transfer is very easy to make. Manually (with good arm/hand function) or electrically (with limited arm/hand function) operate the swivelling side panel.
A flip-up side panel also makes using a transfer board easier.
If the correct stand-up position (straight up) is used, the transfer via a folding side panel works perfectly.
The result
The advantages of such an adjustment to an ergonomic stand-up armchair are diverse: Smooth transfer, reduced risk of falling, and a lower threshold for a good night's sleep in a 'ordinary' comfortable chair.

I've just taken delivery of my first power chair. From the very beginning I was very impressed with the staff in the Waterlooville Showroom. Joe and his team made sure that I was well looked after and supportive throughout the research and purchasing phase. He answered questions clearly and was an excellent communicator. He took the time to show me the equipment, more than once, all with patience. The showroom is bright and the team are welcoming. We did a lot of research before settling on my chair and through the whole process Joe, could not have been anymore helpful. I was always welcomed on my arrival and given time to collect my thoughts. The chair I selected was bought at what I would consider to be a very fair price. In conclusion I fully recommend Cavendish Healthcare to you as a trustworthy company with excellent products, all at great prices.
