How do I keep the lounge comfortable for someone with dementia?

We all like to be comfortable don't we.

All forms of dementia are usually accompanied in the later stages by restricted mobility, so it is important to ensure that the lounge is properly equipped to ensure a good standard of comfort.

Memory foam seat and backrest cushions respond to body heat and will form the ideal shape to reduce pressure on the spine and coccyx. By encouraging natural spine alignment, they can help a person to sit comfortably even for prolonged periods.

Overchair tables are now attractively finished as well as functional and users are able to eat comfortably at mealtimes or keep objects such as books or pastimes in easy reach. Current models have a large table surface area with retaining edges to prevent items sliding off. Tables also rise smoothly without the need for unlocking or activating a trigger and this makes them extremely easy to raise to the desired height.
