Duncan is a 71-year-old gentleman living with advanced Alzheimer’s disease, a history of seizures, and significant movement challenges. Once known for his gentle humour and warmth, Duncan now relies on round-the-clock support for every part of daily life.
For Duncan and those closest to him, one of the greatest challenges was simply helping him sit safely and comfortably. He would often rotate or slide in his chair, sometimes even tipping it over. Each incident brought the risk of injury and left him anxious and unsettled. For his family, it meant living with a constant sense of worry; every visit filled with concern rather than ease, every mealtime shadowed by the fear of another fall.
The AlphaCare II has brought comfort and stability, creating the foundation for calmer, safer days.
For his family, it has restored something even more valuable: moments of connection without constant concern. They can sit beside him, hold his hand, and share time together without fear of a fall or discomfort interrupting the moment.
The AlphaCare II has improved Duncan’s physical safety but also transformed his emotional and relational wellbeing. It has given his family reassurance and peace of mind, and for Duncan, a renewed sense of ease and presence, allowing small, precious moments of togetherness to return to everyday life.
When Duncan became one of the first people to trial the AlphaCare II, the impact was immediate and deeply reassuring.
- The chair’s supportive design and pelvic stabilisation have reduced unwanted movements and rotation.
- Duncan no longer tips or slides, and the sturdy materials withstand daily use with ease.
- The integrated recline function allows him to rest safely, reducing fatigue and supporting good posture.
- With his body properly supported, Duncan is noticeably more settled and comfortable during family visits and daily routines.
- His care team has been able to reduce one-to-one observation, freeing time for more meaningful engagement and easing overall workload.
With the AlphaCare II, Duncan is safer, more settled, more comfortable, and more connected to the people around him.
“The AlphaCare II has made a huge difference. Duncan is calmer, safer, and no longer needs constant one-to-one observation. For the first time, a chair has truly met his needs.”
