Sleeping in a Riser Recliner: Reducing risks and supporting independence

Following the success of the previous sessions led by Jenny Rolfe and Sarah Thompson, this interactive webinar will take a deeper dive into the reasons why individuals may choose to sleep in riser recliner chairs- and the potential risks associated with this practice.

Through activity analysis and case studies, we will examine alternative interventions and equipment, including the FloorBed and our award-winning innovation product the Ascenda, which can offer safer, more supportive solutions. The session will also provide practical strategies to help practitioners discuss and address these risks while supporting clients to maintain their independence and quality of life.
