The Trip Zone

The ‘Trip Zone‘ is the area around the front of table into which a person needing assistance must navigate.

Trips and falls occur often in this area as both the senior and care staff are expected to shuffle sideways, step backwards, or lean on the table for support while getting aligned with the chair.

Navigating THE TRIP ZONE Safely

When Care Needs Change

Residents become: less mobile, more dependent and require more physical assistance from caregivers

As care needs change, front line care givers are the first to feel the impact of reduced mobility.

Care givers are expected to exert whatever physical effort is required (pushing–pulling–shoving–twisting) each time a seated person needs to be moved into position at the table.

As care needs change, traditional dining chair designs fail both seniors and caregivers. Why?

Q
Chairs are not designed to move
Q
Chairs are not designed to reduce the physical demands of caregivers when assisting a seated person to the table
Q
Cushioned flooring creates pockets into which chair legs get “stuck”

Seating Innovations essential for the care of today’s seniors should be designed to:

Prevent Falls
Reduce the physical demands of caregivers
Provide an increase sense of dignity and self-worth for many of today’s seniors
