  • Transfer Seats Help Kūpuna On the Go

    Falls are a significant concern for our kūpuna, often leading to serious injuries and diminished quality of life. However, proactive measures can help prevent falls.

    First, maintaining physical strength and balance is crucial. Gentle exercises like tai chi, yoga or strength training enhance stability. Simple daily activities like walking or using a stationary bike can also contribute to better balance.

    Despite their best efforts to remain strong and balanced, seniors sometimes need assistance with physical tasks, such as getting in and out of a vehicle. Transfer seats are specially designed to help a senior or person with a disability move from a wheelchair or scooter into a vehicle’s driver or passenger seat instead of driving or riding while seated in their wheelchair.

    A transfer seat extends outside of the vehicles and lowers, making vehicle entry and exiting easier. A heavy scooter can be loaded into a car with trunk-mounted lift. These products can reduce the risk of falls and also protect the wellbeing of both the senior and the caregiver.

    By using a transfer seat, kūpuna can significantly reduce their risk of falling, maintain their independence, stay active and safe, and ensure a more secure lifestyle. An evaluation with a mobility consultant can help determine whether a transfer seat is right for you.
