Do your elderly parents have difficulty getting in and out of chairs? If so, I have an easy low cost solution to your needs. If your elder is tall, put large chairs such as a recliner up on a sturdy wooden box to elevate the chair. If they are short and the chair legs are assessable you can either remove the legs on an item as a sofa (where it has 4 or 6 short legs) or cut them off to make them shorter. This makes the chair the correct height so they are not putting stress on their body trying to pull themselves up out of the chair. If your elder is short, cut a few inches of the legs of chairs so it is easier to get in and out of. You can also go the higher cost way and purchase a lift chair or a lift device. A chair lift device is a small device that you place in a chair and it gives them a boost up. These cost anywhere from $100 on up.
