FAQs
We unicare about making free trials easy for you
What is the Regency™ Carer Chair?
The Regency™ Carer Chair is a high-quality, multi-functional medical care chair designed for people who spend extended periods seated or require extra support. It offers features such as a tilt-in-space seat, reclining backrest, elevating leg rest, drop-down armrests, swing away side wings, pressure management support surface, and enhanced mobility with lockable castors.
Is the Regency™ Carer Chair a Princess Chair?
While both chairs are used in aged care and rehabilitation, the Regency™ Carer Chair offers several key advantages over a traditional princess chair:
- Designed for Carer Access
The Regency™ Carer has open sides and a sturdy frame that allows carers to assist with transfers, repositioning, and hygiene more easily than the high-arm design of most princess chairs. - Postural and Pressure Support
Unlike many princess chairs that focus mainly on comfort, the Regency™ Carer is designed with adjustable seating components for better posture, pressure relief, and long-term sitting tolerance. - Durability and Infection Control
Covered with a medical grade fabric, the Regency™ Carer is easy to wipe-clean and easier to maintain in healthcare environments. - Clinical Versatility
It’s ideal for residential aged care, palliative care, and rehabilitation, supporting users who need more than just comfort, including those at risk of pressure injuries or with reduced mobility.
How does the Regency™ Carer Chair support residents at risk of pressure injuries in nursing homes and long-term care facilities?
The Regency™ Carer Chair is designed for maximum pressure management and skin integrity protection, which are essential for residents at high risk of pressure injuries. Its advanced support surface features a unique gel and foam combination seat and a self-compensating air-cushioned backrest to evenly distribute body weight and reduce peak pressures on vulnerable areas (such as sacrum and ischial tuberosities). The chair is upholstered with a four-way stretch, low skin-shear, waterproof medical-grade fabric that minimizes friction and shear forces, further helping to prevent pressure injuries. This construction makes the chair particularly suitable for high-dependency residents who require prolonged periods of sitting, with the pressure relief system clinically validated for use in environments where preventing pressure injuries is critical.
What transfer and positioning functions make the Regency™ Carer Chair a preferred choice?
The Regency™ Carer Chair provides comprehensive posture and mobility management, enabling safer, more efficient patient handling by clinicians and carers. Key features include:
- Adjustable tilt-in-space function for pressure redistribution and comfort.
- Recline-to-supine positioning for clinical care, rest, or specific pressure management needs.
- Elevating legrest to aid circulation and accommodate various needs.
- Drop-down armrests and swing away head-rest for easier side transfers or use with hoists, enhancing transfer safety.
- Forward seat tilt to assist with sit-to-stand transitions and positioning.
- Mobile, lifter-compatible castor base for easy movement within healthcare settings.
- Customizable functions to adapt the chair to individual clinical needs.
These functions collectively allow clinicians and carers to tailor the chair setup to specific resident requirements, facilitate key care activities (e.g., feeding, repositioning), and ensure resident and staff safety during mobility and transfers.
Who can benefit from using a Regency™ Carer Chair?
This care chair is ideal for individuals in aged care, disability support, or those at risk of developing pressure injuries. It supports people who need assistance with transfers, mobility, and pressure relief, making it suitable for hospitals, care homes, and home environments.
What postural support options are available to optimise positioning in the Regency™ Carer Chair?
Askle cushions can be used to provide targeted pressure relief and postural support in a Regency™ Carer Chair. By combining the ergonomic design of the Regency™ Carer Chair with Askle cushions, OTs can create a seating solution that promotes safety, comfort, and optimal functional positioning.
