Geri chair, also known as a geriatric chair or medical recliner, is a large, padded, comfortable reclining chair with casters designed to allow patients recovering from illness and surgery, or the elderly and infirm to get out of a bed and sit comfortably while being fully supported and transported to adjoining areas within a facility. Certain chairs feature the ability to transition the patient into the Trendelenburg position. Used in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and senior facilities, geri chairs can be utilized for family and friends to sit/sleep in while spending a night visiting a patient.
