Risedale is trim and fits nicely into cozy spaces – like beside the fireplace, in your favorite reading nook. Because only the seat cushion lifts (not the whole chair), you can put your Risedale right up against the wall and it will still help you up.
Weighing only 64 pounds (29 kg), Risedale is easily moved when you need to adjust its position, or when you want to use it in a different spot in your home.
Benefits - Discreet
When Dignity Matters, There’s Risedale
Risedale is a discreet seat-lift chair that looks like an att
ractive wing chair – not a lift chair. Only the seat cushion lifts on Risedale… the whole chair does not come off the ground and hover in the air as do most lift chairs. In fact, if you take the Power Lever off the Risedale, you’d never know it was anything but a beautiful piece of furniture!
We think a chair that offers a lift shouldn’t look like a medical device; it should be as nice as every other chair you’ve ever purchased. So when your guests see a stylish wing chair instead of a medical device… we’ve done our job!
Benefits - Medicare
Medicare Coverage
In the United States, if you qualify for Medicare Part B coverage and meet certain medical criteria, you may be able to get a portion of the cost of your Risedale reimbursed under code E0627. The amount reimbursable is 80% of around $330 (amounts vary somewhat by state). In other words, if you qualify, you could receive about $265 from Medicare, towards the purchase price of the Risedale. Ask your home medical equipment provider or your doctor to help with Medicare procedures.
In Canada, Medicare does not cover
seat-lift chairs. However, if you live in the province of Alberta and qualify for the Special Needs Assistance, you could receive up to $800 for the purchase of a
lift chair. A doctor’s note must be provided explaining the medical condition that necessitates the use of a
lift chair.
If you are a veteran, you may also receive support for the purchase of a
lift chair if your doctor prescribes one.
Get Up Safely in Style with 
Our goal in creating the new Risedale seat-lift chair was to give you the style you want, with the function you need.
You need help getting up, and you want to feel safe and secure while doing so. This is made possible because of our patented LeveLift – a flexible seat designed to move up and down on a level lifting plane. In other words, while using your Risedale, you stay safely seated on a level surface through all stages of the lift – avoiding the dumping action of other lift chairs.
So, you may need a little help getting up… but you don’t want to settle for a bulky lift chair. A chair that offers a lift shouldn’t look like a medical device; it should be as nice as every other chair you’ve ever purchased. Using LeveLift we were able to create a classic wing chair where only the seat cushion lifts, so you can rise up in style!
