Lumex Preferred Care Recliner by Graham Field

The Lumex 565 Patented recline mechanism allows for infinite positioning of the recline. Reduced armrest and seat height enable the recliner to fit under dining/activity tables and allow residents to “scoot” and more easily reposition the chair by themselves.

The Lumex Preferred Care Recliner by Graham Field is an infinite-position healthcare recliner designed for comfort, positioning, and long-term use in extended-care, patient-room, home-care, rehabilitation, and clinical environments. The FR565G features a patented Lumex 565 recline mechanism that provides infinite back positioniInfinite Recline PositioningInfinite Recline PositioningInfinite Recline PositioningInfinite Recline PositioningInfinite Recline PositioningInfinite Recline Positioningng from approximately 95° to 145°, allowing the caregiver to lock the recliner in the desired position. Its self-adjusting suspension system cradles the resident from head to heel, while wide padded armrests and side panels provide additional comfort. 

Built with a durable epoxy-coated welded steel frame, the Preferred Care Recliner is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. Quick-release upholstery simplifies cleaning, removal, and replacement, while the vinyl-upholstered back resists sulfide stains, mildew, and oil. Two front swivel casters and two rear locking casters provide maneuverability and stability, and the reduced arm and seat height allows the recliner to fit under many dining or activity tables. 

Lumex Preferred Care Geri Chair Features

Infinite Recline Positioning

The defining feature of the Preferred Care Recliner is its patented Lumex 565 infinite recline mechanism.  The back can be positioned continuously between approximately 95° and 145°, rather than being restricted to a small number of fixed positions. A caregiver can also lock the recliner in the desired position.

Self-Adjusting Suspension System

Designed to adapt to the individual occupant, the suspension cradles the resident from head to heel, helping minimize the possibility of "bottoming out." This design contributes to the recliner's suitability for extended periods of seated use.

Padded Armrests and Side Panels

The armrests are approximately 4.5 inches wide, while the space between the arms is approximately 19.5 inches. It also offers WallSaver armrests on applicable Preferred Care configurations to increase durability and help prevent wall marring.

Durable Steel Frame

The recliner uses a welded steel frame with an epoxy coating. The frame is designed for durability, easy cleaning, routine maintenance, and long-term healthcare use. The epoxy-coated construction is a standard feature of the Preferred Care series.

Quick-Release Upholstery

The upholstery uses a quick-release design that allows the upholstery components to be removed for cleaning, replacement, and maintenance. The vinyl-upholstered back is resistant to sulfide stains, mildew, and oil. This makes the chair practical for healthcare environments where regular cleaning and maintenance are important.

5-inch casters systems

The configuration has 2 front swivel casters and 2 rear locking casters. This arrangement provides maneuverability in smaller spaces while allowing the chair to be secured when necessary.

250 lb (113.4 kg) Weight Capacity

This is the manufacturer's maximum evenly distributed patient weight capacity.

Available in 3 Colors

This offers a selection of vinyl upholstery colors: Blue Ride, Jade, and Rosewood.
