The concept of elderly-friendly functional furniture

Elderly-friendly functional furniture refers to furniture that is suitable for elderly people to use in a certain environment, helps them overcome specific environmental obstacles, and enables them to exert their latent functions. It also assists caregivers in reducing the intensity of care and improving efficiency, and helps elderly people maintain their dignity and enhance their ability to live independently.

Here, "elderly-friendly" can be understood as "suitable for, adapted to, or applicable to the elderly", and "assistance" can be interpreted as "helping from the side". Elderly-friendly functional furniture is a living and care platform for the elderly living environment, and is an indispensable guarantee for achieving the "entry, exit, and washing" of elderly care operations, the "sleep, movement, and entertainment" of daily care, and the "light, home, and flavor" of environmental services.

Principles for configuring elderly care furniture

(1) Adapt to the needs of the environment

(2) Adapt to the needs of caregivers 

(3) Suit the needs of the elderly

The three aspects are both unified and changeable. The changes mainly depend on the functional changes of the elderly. 

Self-reliant elderly: Focuses on meeting the needs of the environment.

Mildly disabled elderly: Focuses on meeting the needs of the elderly.

Severely disabled elderly and completely disabled elderly: Focuses on meeting the needs of caregivers.
