<p>Many ADLs are adaptive in nature, allowing the user to do something they might not have been able to otherwise, such as stand up from a chair, work the TV remote, cook a meal, open a jar, drive a car, hear the doorbell or button a shirt.  Some Daily Living Aids are created simply to make your life easier.</p>
<p>I like to tell folks that if they have lost some independence or are no longer able to manage tasks that they used to &#8211; short term or long, there is probably a Daily Living Aid to help!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we age and our joints and muscles aren&#8217;t what they used to be, we may need assistance sitting in and getting up from chairs and sofas. Arthritis, Parkinson&#8217;s disease, muscular dystrophy and many post-operative conditions can also decrease mobility, creating a need for aid raising from and lowering into chairs. Maintain independence, and get help for yourself or a loved one, with the latest in electric lift chair technology from Allegro.</p>
<h2>Lifting Assistance</h2>
<p>A <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/lift-chairs-c526.html?x_page_number=1">Lifting Cushion</a> is an inexpensive solution to mobility issues and loss of upper or lower body strength. These comfortable cushions turn any chair or sofa into a lift chair. Simply use the cushion on a chair, then push a lever for assistance when you wish to rise. The cushion is then ready to assist you later, to sit again. Lift cushions are also completely portable.</p>
<p>Or, raise the height of a chair, table or bed on a temporary or permanent basis with <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/lift-chairs-c526.html?x_page_number=1">easy risers</a>. They are easy to install, and an economic alternative to a lifting mechanism.</p>
<p>Lift Chairs<br />
Choose from a wide variety of <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/lift-chairs-c526/2-position-chairs-c3669.html?sortOrder=4">two-position lift chairs</a>, from the best brands available. Select the perfect chair for your needs, with the right features; such as whisper quiet motor, heated pads, vibration options, narrow lift for tight spaces, reclining or non-reclining lift, lifetime motor warranty, and more, all in a plethora of styles, fabrics and colors. Most have easy one-touch button remotes and battery backups in case of power failure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/lift-chairs-c526/3-position-chairs-c3670.html?sortOrder=4">Three-position lift chairs</a> offer three recline positions, and take you from fully reclined to standing in seconds. Take your pick of style, color and price range. You can even customize some models with special features, like large compartments in the armrests, padding with adjustable filling for your back, and even foldaway trays. Each chair has a manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
