Mobility: TURN...ROLL-BRAKE
- The Chair CADDIE is a retro-fit-able device that attaches to the base of one’s favorite dining chair.
- Chair/caddies that turn...roll...and brake for safety enable the caregiver to roll the chair to the person requiring assistance.
- With the chair positioned directly behind a standing person, the person can be assisted into the chair.
- Once seated, the caregiver moves the seated person into position at the table with ease.
Moving Between Two (2) Tables
- Moving between tables can be challenging for persons living with Alzheimer's, as this typically involves being assisted/transferred from one chair to another.
- When the controlled inline mobility of the chair/CADDIE is combined with a swivel-seat that locks every 90 degrees a seated person can move safely between two tables, eliminating the need to transfer into another chair, thereby minimizing the risk of fall/injury to either the seated person or the caregiver.
