Make a Home Away from Home with Resident Room Furniture

An easy way to engender a more home-like environment in any long-term care facility is to invest in some good furniture. Rehabmart can help you select just the right furnishings for your facility, or for individual residential rooms. This furniture has been especially created for use in nursing homes and designed with those special needs in mind.

  

While these recliners are perfect for any types of positional therapy care, they also offer maximum durability and comfort for the resident, patient or guest. Featuring a 350 pound weight capacity and ergonomic design, these recliners provide posture-correcting lumbar and lateral cushioning for the ultimate satisfaction in comfort and support. The mid-ottoman cushion provides extra support when the patient's feet are elevated, too. The rocker model comes with a rear lock lever that allows the chair to be stationary, while the wall-saver model reclines away from the wall to save space. The open-arm model with stationary arms and fixed sides helps to support and stabilize drainage catheters or electromechanical mounts. A fold-away rear push bar enables easy patient transport, while the pull-out rolling footrest provides additional comfort to the patient in transit. 

       Another important example for the bariatric resident is the Bariatric Reclining Geri-Chair with Casters. This all-purpose recliner is especially designed for larger individuals and offers a weight capacity of up to 850 pounds. The sleek transitional styling and clean lines easily integrate and blend into any facility lounge or patient room décor. This recliner works great with positional therapy care and many other various treatments as it easily reclines with the gas assist mechanism located on the back of the chair. A release bar also works as the push bar, and lockable caster wheels make transport easy, comfortable and secure for both patient and caregiver.

       For those residents and patients who frequently have guests visit for long periods of time, or overnight, look no further than the Stryker Symmetry II Sleeper Chair. This extremely comfy chair easily converts to an extremely comfy bed in seconds! Featuring sinuous steel springs, this sleeper chair offers the ultimate in durability, strength, back support and comfort. The innerspring mattress offers standard nylon bacterial-resistant ticking, while the ergonomic design of both chair and bed provides posture-correcting lumbar and lateral cushioning. With the wide variety of colors, patterns and stains, everyone is sure to find just the right harmonious match with their own facility's or resident's room décor.

       A smart choice for a resident room cabinet is the Mobile Smart Cart with Drawer and Door. No maintenance is required with this extremely durable and laminated cabinet! Specifically designed with safety in mind, all edges are laminate, and the high-impact polystyrene drawer interiors stand up to repeated use and have rounded inside corners that help prevent cuts and scrapes. Available in either natural oak color, or 'folkstone gray', this cabinet is sure to blend in with a wide array of resident room furnishings.

       For the more environmentally-conscious facility or resident, I recommend the Hausmann Green-Line Mobile Cabinet. This PVC-free cabinet is constructed with wood that has no added urea-formaldehyde to ensure safer indoor air quality. Available in natural oak, 'folkstone gray' and 'Green-Line Fusion Maple', this cabinet also features maintenance-free laminate surfaces and rounded inside corners for safety.
