They can elevate, recline, tilt, etc. They have attendant controls in the rear for the caregiver to use. I wondered if they would be useful. I already have a Hoyer lift, sit-to-stand and ceiling lifts. The power chair would be used for field trips in a handicap ramp van and for moving around the house, transferring to bed, toilet, reclining lift chair, etc.
The way hubby panicked when the chair wouldn’t go up the ramp, if he had dementia it would ha e been much worse.
