Many of our daily chores are done in the kitchen. It’s where we make breakfast, lunch and dinner – and we go to and from the fridge several times a day. A kitchen chair on wheels can make these tasks more accessible by providing support and mobility.
In the kitchen, we make coffee and tea for ourselves or our guests. The kitchen is the setting for many social aspects of our lives, and many steps are taken back and forth here daily. A kitchen cooking chair for elderly can help you stay mobile and independent, even if standing for long periods is difficult.
People with disabilities such as balance problems and pain in joints and muscles may struggle to perform standing work in the kitchen, which is why a VELA chair really comes into its own in a kitchen.
A chair for cooking in the kitchen can help people with disabilities maintain their independence while performing daily chores. The VELA chair also works as a rolling chair for the kitchen, allowing you to move around safely and comfortably.
With a cooking chair for elderly and people with disabilities, you can still do your daily chores – without needing to have full strength in your legs. The VELA chair meets your needs for assistance – and enables mobility.
Kitchen chair for cooking: Fewer challenges
If you are disabled, standing up by a kitchen table can cause pain and balance problems. It can be challenging to reach the top cupboards, and it can be almost impossible to fill the bottom drawer of the dishwasher.
A disability can deprive you of the opportunity to perform many simple chores in the home by yourself, and this will inevitably affect your sense of independence. A cooking chair for disabled individuals provides the necessary support to regain confidence in the kitchen.
A VELA chair for cooking in your kitchen can alleviate many of the challenges that a disability brings with it. It can help make cooking and washing dishes a part of everyday life in the kitchen again.
Find the perfect cooking chair for you
Answer 8 easy questions and get matched up with the right chair
I can’t stand up and talk to someone for more than a few minutes. If you haven’t experienced challenges with balance yourself, it’s really hard to comprehend how much it dominates everyday life.
Now I enjoy cooking for several days at a time, and it makes a world of difference that I can peel the potatoes myself. A good diet is important when living with arthritis – and doing the work also builds up an appetite.
Previously, I couldn’t help with making dinner while standing up, especially by the stove. I needed something to hold onto because you never know when you are going to fall. I cook and stir the pot now because I can use both of my hands.
I used to burn myself on the oven all the time, whenever I needed to take something out of it. That doesn’t happen anymore. Now I raise the chair up to the oven, and that means I do not burn myself on the edge of the oven door.
More than a decade ago, Conny suffered a brain haemorrhage that left her paralysed. The electric lift and the wide wheels have given Conny much of her independence and sense of self-worth back. Rehabilitation and recovery after hemiplegia require activity, and she is now able to do that.
Since I got a VELA chair, I’ve become more active in everyday life and less afraid of falling. I can contribute more to household tasks, and the chair provides my wife and me a great sense of security. The VELA chair has given me more freedom in my home and increased my confidence in daily tasks.
Kitchen mobility chair: Disabilities and kitchen work can go hand in hand
There is a big difference between how different disabilities affect different people’s day-to-day lives. And the challenges encountered by the individual are therefore also different. But whatever your challenges in the kitchen, you can rest assured that a VELA mobility chair in the kitchen will help you overcome some of them.
The ergonomic design ensures comfort and mobility, making it a reliable cooking chair for disabled. As a disability chair for kitchen, it is tailored to provide optimal function and comfort for various challenges. The adjustable height and compact design of the chair ensure it fits perfectly into any kitchen space, whether you have a large open-plan kitchen or a small corner setup.
VELA disability chairs helps you with your challenges while also restoring a large degree of independence.
A cooking chair for everyone
Everyone should be able to enter the kitchen with a smile. Whether it’s to prepare meals, wash dishes, or enjoy time with family, the kitchen chair for cooking from VELA is an invaluable aid that promotes independence and safety.
For bariatric users, the VELA kitchen chair offers a stable and secure solution for daily kitchen tasks. With its reinforced frame and supportive design, the chair is tailored to meet the needs of users with a higher weight capacity.
Reach high and low surfaces with the raising/lowering function
The chair has an electric raising/lowering function, which allows you to reach the bottom drawers and top shelves in the cupboards at the touch of a button. You never compromise on safety, as the chair has a safe central brake that is easy to use.
Watch how Søren is able to bake bread rolls despite the fact that he can no longer walk around the kitchen.
Do what you love
Picture this: You are sitting comfortably in your kitchen stool, ready to bake a cake. The electric raising/lowering function helps you reach the top shelf to grab the flour, while the sturdy wheels allow you to roll smoothly to the counter. As you mix the batter, the central brake keeps the chair securely in place, ensuring stability while you whisk. With your kitchen cooking chair, you can focus on the joy of baking without worrying about pain or fatigue – and the end result?
A delicious cake and a feeling of accomplishment.
Invite guests to dinner again
Once your VELA chair for the kitchen is in the house, you can invite guests over for dinner again. With the right aid in the kitchen, you will once again be able to handle more tasks by yourself.
Imagine standing at the kitchen counter, struggling to chop vegetables while your legs ache and your balance feels unsteady. Now, compare this with sitting securely in a kitchen chair for cooking with wheels, where you can roll seamlessly between the counter and the fridge. Without the VELA chair, simple tasks can feel overwhelming. With it, you regain control over your kitchen and enjoy a sense of independence that transforms your daily routine.
And you can even do it without the fear that cooking will consume too much of your energy. A VELA chair for the kitchen is designed to provide the best help and support for you, so you can conserve your energy for socialising with your guests.
Using the VELA Chair as a kitchen stool to sit on while cooking is a lifesaver.
