Electric Lift Chair

As far as a store, I am not completely sure, but I would bet that if you were to call your local nursing home or hospital, they could give you the name and number of a place to get them. I know that my Grandparents went throught their pharmacy to get the numbers the needed. If you are not set on a brnad new one, you may check with health care facilities in your area. Sometimes, they do get rid of them. I kn wwhen I worked in the nursing home, we had several in storage that were not brand new, but they were very gently used. They had to either sell them or throw them away.

Obviously I can't give you the answer you are looking for because I am in Canada. The reason for my reply is this: I bought a lift chair (Leather) and I did buy it locally but I have learnt two very good pieces of advice and I'd like to pass it on. Try to get one that has a pouch along the side so there's a safe place for the remote, mine doesn't. The most important thing is have your dad sit in the chair. I didn't pay enough attention to this and my ankles hang off the end of the foot rest and this chair is the most uncomfortable piece of crap I have ever bought and here they sell for 1,389.00. The chair looks good but it sure isn't built for comfort. Make sure you buy a long enough one!!! Just my opinion.

I got a Lazyboy that lifts - no memory of how much I paid

I wish I could help you AGB but i have no idea where you would fins something like that in the USA! I have a chair like that it is a riser recliner - it lays back as well as sitting up and then lifts me so all I have to do is step off the chair. I didn't buy mine though - it is provided by the NHS and has made a huge difference to my life! I wish there was somewhere like the medical loan equipment service where you live it would make it much easier for you! Good luck finding one! Hugsxxxxx

Bob If your Dad is a vet the VA will pay full price for one for him, just a thought. In my area you purchase those from the medical supply stores, if he's not a vet. Blessings Marilyn

Have you checked medical equipment stores? They usually have them. I have such a store here and they have several models from $400 on up. Look under medical supplies in the yellow pages and I'm sure you'll be able to find one. If not, they will be able to steer you in the right direction!

Check with your local furniture stores. Quite often they can order these even if they don't have them in stock. The problem with ordering them from furniture stores is that they are often hard to get repairs if they need them. Check with a store that deals in durable medical equipment sales. They also repair the item and sometimes the repair is free because of warranties on the item.

I'm sure if you type it in the search engine, they will come up with some high street shops or manufacturers who could tell you which shops they supply. A lot of the high street shops have sites online but you can still go to the shop and buy. Brightest Blessings and good luck in your search, my friend.

I live in Canada, so cannot help you, but we have a disabilities place, and also the Brick here, does have lift chairs as well as Sears. But I think that you have to go to a medical equipment place to get one. My husband is looking for one as well, but here in Canada, the cheapest price is $900.

Ok, I cheated a bit. I did a search for Electric lift chairs close to C00n Rapids. I know where to find them in my area. But I am not from Minnesota, so... 4 Day Medical Store Slp (952) 922-2420 4216 Minnetonka Blvd, Minneapolis, MN Jackson Medical Equipment (651) 645-6221 982 Thomas Ave, St Paul, MN Don't know how close you are, but maybe these will help.

Contact your local department of aging and see if they have a list of local providers. Then get your dad's doctor to write a prescription and Medicare should pay for the "lift" portion of the chair's cost. The rest of the chair would be out of pocket. They would have done that with Mom if she'd improved enough to not be bedridden at the end, so I'm sure the procedure is the same in other states, if not very similar. Here - I think this is a number that could help you on this page: http://www.mnaging.org/advisor/SLL.htm They provide support for caregivers, so I'll bet they'd have the info you're looking for.

Have you checked at your local medical supply stores, you know where they sell stuff like wheelchairs, and walkers, and canes, sometimes you might be able to find chairs like that there. Even some furniture stores might have them, you'd be surprised. I hope he finds one....Have a good day

Hi grandpa Bob - I am so sorry but I cannot help you with this question. I do hope that someones does know and respond. Blessings
