Safety is the top priority in a care setting, and any equipment brought from home needs to be assessed for safety. If the chair tips during transfers, it poses a risk of injury to the resident and should not be used. Armrests and comfort do not necessarily make a chair safe or appropriate for use in a care setting. Ease of use is also important, but not in and of itself an indicator of safety.
