Happier & More Comfortable than Ever
We are currently using an Elite Positioning Wheelchair for a resident with Huntington’s Disease. We were very concerned about his safety and comfort until we tried the Broda wheelchair. Now, he is happier and more comfortable than we have ever seen him. We are very pleased with how much the Broda chairs help. We also recently purchased a Broda Pedal Chair and a Glider. Both of these have also helped improve the quality of life for our residents.
Hope for My Alzheimer’s Patient
We have a woman in our facility with Alzheimer’s Disease who was slumping forward in her chair with her head in her lap. She was very uncomfortable and had become unsociable and extremely grumpy. We placed her in the Broda Pedal chair and were amazed at the immediate change in her disposition. She not only sat upright, but she started pedaling around in the chair. She had such an improvement in her posture and attitude and we were able to reduce her medication dosage.
We Were Amazed How Quickly He Improved
My facility had been trying for months to accommodate our Huntington’s resident with comfortable seating, however, he would scream out in pain from his pressure sores, was always unhappy, and didn’t show any type of positive communication while in the other chairs. As soon as he was placed in the Broda Elite Positioning Wheelchair, he never made a sound of pain or cried out in anger, and he actually tried to communicate with those around him. We were so pleased this gentleman did not need as much supervision and care as he had in the other chairs he had tried. We were so amazed at how quickly his behavior improved with Broda.
Easier Transfers & Repositioning
The Broda Products make it easier for caregivers to provide optimal care with less stress on the client and the caregiver. For example, easier transfers, easier repositioning , less maintenance, and easier mobility.

Dignity for a Down Syndrome Client
I had a client with a diagnosis of Down syndrome. He was unable to walk and had scooted on the floor his entire life. He had a significant pressure injury on his coccyx and was a safety concern for himself and others. An assessment was completed with the Latitude (Rocker) Wheelchair and it worked perfectly for him. He was able to recreate the same scooting movements he always had with the Latitude’s low seat surface height and the rocking engaged. Along with the pressure redistribution of the Comfort Tension Seating®, this allowed the injury to begin healing. It was so great to see him off the floor for the first time and his reaction let everyone know he was happy with his new wheelchair.
Broda Kept My Wife Comfortable
My wife was in a nursing home for more than 5 years battling with Alzheimer’s. During her last years, she couldn’t move or get in/out of bed…As a result of her condition, she needed a very comfortable wheelchair. I checked with Medicare and they only covered stiff, straight-up, non-padded wheelchairs. My wife’s caring facility got her a Broda…which I paid a monthly fee for rental. After less than a year, I decided to purchase the wheelchair for my wife to keep her comfortable. During her last year, she was very comfortable in her padded Broda Midline Chair. I would highly recommend this Broda product to anyone who is in need of a very comfortable wheelchair in a nursing home, senior care facility, or even at home.
I Had Broda on Speed Dial
I was introduced to Broda in 2010 when I worked as a Rehab LPN in Long Term Care. I would request these chairs frequently and had the Broda representative on speed dial. Whenever I had a client needing a wheelchair for comfort, dementia sensory issues (we always chose the pedal rocker wheelchairs). As families witnessed the change that a Broda made, they would purchase one.
