Alzheimers

Symptoms of Alzhiemers residents can vary widely Early and mid diagnosis residents often have a tendency to wander. Agitation and aggression if often evident in mid to later stages. Broda chairs are excellent for helping to accommodate Alzheimers’ residents throughout the various stages.

Ideal for Alzheimer patients, the Broda Glider begins to glide once the resident sits in the chair, and stops gliding when the resident begins to vacate the chair (helping to prevent falls). The Glider also features a caregiver lock to prevent any unwanted gliding.

The smooth gliding action produces a calming effect and helps reduce the need to wander. It’s also ideal for ambulatory residents who can benefit from mild exercise of lower limbs.

The Broda Pedal Chair encourages mobility and independence for those who still have some mobility but cannot walk. The front pivot tilt-in-space design allows for a proper foot on floor position for propelling even when tilted -- encouraging safe mobility and independence. This is also excellent for preventing falls. The Clear Tray option allows residents to see their feet while propelling, helping to calm.
