Standing at a bench is what tips a lot of clients from managing at home to not managing at home. The K Care kitchen perching stool takes the standing out of it without taking the task away. The padded seat angles forward so the client perches rather than sits back, hips stay open, and both hands stay free at the sink, the bench or the basin.
Seat height adjusts to suit the bench, and the arms give a push-up point for standing again. Take the arms off and the client can slide in sideways where a bench or a cupboard leaves no room to approach from the front. Rubber feet keep it planted on tiles or vinyl.
It suits anyone with limited standing tolerance who still wants to cook, wash up or do their own personal care: cardiac and respiratory conditions, arthritis, back pain, or fatigue after an illness or admission. A padded backrest means the client can sit back properly for a rest between tasks.
Good to know
- Match the seat height to the bench height so the client’s elbows sit at or just below bench level
- Armrests remove without changing the rest of the stool
