Specialized Seating that Empowers Caregivers. Chairs that Prevent Caregiver Burnout.
In 2024, an estimated 53 million Americans are navigating the path of family caregiving. Reports from both caregivers and healthcare providers highlight the lack of affordable services and insufficient support systems. While caregiving offers a sense of purpose and fosters deeper connections. It's characterized as a solitary journey—one laden with physical, emotional, and financial burdens.
Caring for a loved one involves many adjustments and challenges. Transitioning into the role of a family caregiver demands a significant change. The dynamics of the relationship with the care recipient change. This shift can be particularly challenging for many family caregivers, especially when the recipient is a parent. With approximately 50% of caregivers being children of the recipient. These individuals must adapt their mindset. Evolving from being a child to also assuming the responsibilities of caregiving.
According to an AARP report:
- 23% of caregivers struggle to focus on self-care
- 21% describe their health as fair or poor
- 23% note a decline in their health due to caregiving duties.
These statistics underscore the critical need for affordable services. The need for robust support systems to assist the 53 million American caregivers.
One solution for caregivers is chairs that bring families together. We recognizes that 74% of caregivers aged 75 or older are providing care to individuals of similar age or older. Underscoring the necessity for establishing support within the home. As more adults opt to age-in-place and extend their stay at home. There's a growing need not only to ensure the safety of recipients but also to safeguard the well-being of caregivers. Caregivers deserve to receive care themselves.
A simple switch in dining chairs can empower caregivers to maintain their safety and deliver optimal care. This change restores caregivers' physical and mental capacity. Enabling them to strengthen their bonds and caregiving efforts with their loved ones. A Swivel Chair with locking seats with mobility features can ease this transformation.
