FAQ
Common questions
When does this matter?
ALS/MND at Home: How Seating Needs Change and How to Plan Ahead matters when it changes the actual daily-care workflow. The fit check decides whether it is central to the recommendation or only a secondary detail.
Can Sollevita be more than needed here?
Yes. Sollevita can be more than needed when a simpler lift chair, standard recliner or basic comfort feature is enough. That is why fit is checked before quote.
Should we get a care chair now or wait until it is clearly needed?
Many families say they wish they had arranged equipment earlier, while there was energy to learn it and enjoy it. A chair with the full positioning range is useful from the start and keeps adapting as needs change. Your care team can help you judge the timing.
Which features matter most as ALS or MND progresses?
Adjustable head support, tilt for resting without sliding, a full flat position for care tasks, height adjustment for transfers, and a handset a caregiver can operate. Having all of these in one chair avoids replacing equipment at each stage.
Will the chair work alongside a hoist if we need one later?
Height adjustment and removable armrests generally make a chair easier to use with hoist transfers, but compatibility depends on the specific hoist and sling. Ask your equipment provider or therapist to confirm the combination before you rely on it.
