I am going to donate our Lift recliner to a local medical equipment co-op. I need to get him a better recliner that is not electric, because his Parkinson's with new dementia makes it too difficult for him to operate this. He sometimes presses the button and doesn't realize it. He also has nearly dumped himself onto the floor when I am out of the room and he wants to get up. I'm wondering if the kind with the lever at the arm rest that you pull to recline would work. Anyone have experience with these? Also I'm wondering if I should get one that lies flat for the eventual need of sleeping in the living room.

Het your husband sit in a regular chair rather than throw good money after bad. Expecting an elder with dementia and mobility issues to work contraptions is futile.
I would call La-z-boy or Barcalounger retailers and ask questions before spending time driving there. Hoping others on this forum will have other brand or model suggestions.
