Just thinking about how old this chair must be, makes me wonder how the people were and everything.

Geri chairs are still used for the comfort and care of people who do not walk. This recliner could be found in any nursing care facility today.

Yeah they are found in hospital rooms too, especially surgery recovery rooms. When my grandfather was in the hospital for surgery 2 weeks ago, I sat in one of these (he didn't need it, he was in the bed, I'm not that mean!) and they are pretty comfortable...but not when you are stuck in a place like this with no one by your side.

These are used not only for the comfort of a resident but for their safety. When a resident movies around too much in a regular wheel chair or slides out of one too often they'll put them in a geri chair and the height and depth of it will keep them back far enough they can't slide out any longer but can still move around.

That's a bit creepy.

It would be nice to race down the hall with, if it weren't rusty looking.

Buxton Chairs are similar, named after the Spa town in Derbyshire, not too far from me.
