A Home Instead caregiver and an elderly man enjoy coffee together on a porch, showcasing shared moments of relaxation and connection.

Time outdoors can be great for senior care. Mission Hills, CA seniors sometimes just want — or need! — to just step outside and sit for a bit. Activity is great, but sometimes just being outside, in a comfortable chair, perhaps with a refreshing beverage, makes the difference for residential assisted living.

Fortunately, those who need home care assistance near Mission Hills, CA live in a place where outdoors is usually beautiful. This means two things: first, that reliable elderly companion care to share that time outdoors can be vital. Second, it means that comfortable chairs are indispensable.

On the first score, the compassionate CAREGivers of Home Instead are ready to provide senior respite care or senior day care near Mission Hills, CA. Whatever the need, from helping with meals or household chores, to just sitting for a time and being a person to talk to, the CAREGivers of Home Instead are ready to take it on.

As for comfortable chairs, many options are available. Standard patio furniture can work in a pinch. Such lightweight plastic chairs, or folding metal frame chairs have the convenience of portability. They can move to different parts of the porch, patio, garden, or lawn with relative ease. They do not, however, provide great comfort for long-term sitting, and they could be difficult to stand up from.

For those able to spend a little more money other options are available. One option which provides a significant upgrade in comfort, while also remaining light and portable is the zero-gravity full-length recliner. These generally have a full metal frame, generous arm rests, and a mesh seating surface that runs from ankle to head, suspended by a bungee system. These chairs provide full body support and can lounge nearly flat for those times when a nap seems like it’s in order. Some models come with padding, and some with a sun visor attached to the top.

Other more full-bodied options include swivel rockers and recliners. These are generally too heavy to move and require some manual dexterity and technical know-how to assemble. However, if either of these seems more to your liking, you can rely on the CAREGivers of Home Instead to help assemble and position this chair. These will provide significantly more padding for exceptional comfort.

Many different chair options are out there to make your time sitting outside more enjoyable. But when it comes time to decide who will help you live a fuller life indoors and out, only Home Instead provides the full spectrum of elderly companion care in Mission Hills, CA that makes the difference.
