Care chairs, often called Princess Chairs or mobile recliners, are powerful tools for supporting clients with complex needs. But getting it right requires more than just comfort.

In Part 1 of this two-part episode, we explore how to prescribe care chairs with purpose, starting with assessment questions, posture considerations, pressure care, and essential features.

🎧 You’ll learn:

• When and why to prescribe a care chair (not just a wheelchair)
• How to assess posture, pressure risk, transfer type, and cognitive ability
• The difference between fixed vs. reducible posture — and what it means for seating
• Why features like tilt-in-space, drop-down armrests, and integrated cushions matter
• Common prescription mistakes (and how to avoid them)

Perfect for OTs, allied health teams, and clinical decision-makers — this episode reframes the way we think about comfort, mobility, and dignity in care.
