For the caregiver, the Encore ultimately creates peace of mind that the primary seating for their loved one maintains their quality of life. The Encore’s ergonomically adjustable low floor-to-seat height and front mounted mag wheels allows for easy propulsion via hands or feet increasing mobility and confidence. The front pivot tilt design creates proper foot on floor placement for efficient movement and allowing for continuous line of sight in tilted positions, facilitating engagement with their caregiver and surroundings, improving quality of life.
The caregiver activated and adjustable dynamic rocking feature provides contentment which has been proven by studies to reduce depression, anxiety, and a reduction in pain medication specifically for dementia or Alzheimer’s patients. Finally, the Encore’s durability frame with anti-tippers backed by an industry leading ten-year warranty creates a stable base for smooth caregiver maneuvering and safe transfers.
