Description
The Drive 3-Position Bariatric Geri Chair D574EW is Drive's extra-wide 25 inch (63.5 cm) seat recliner with a 500 lb (227 kg) rating, a five-position tray, and 5 inch casters. Westin Healthcare sells it and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.
The carton on the floor is Drive D574EW-BR. Drive's current extra-wide sheet also prints Charcoal, Chocolate, and Tan. This is the bariatric D574EW, not the standard 19 inch D574.
Who this bariatric geri chair is for
This geri chair is for a person who needs Drive's 500 lb (227 kg) extra-wide frame and a 25 inch (63.5 cm) seat, with 24.5 inches (62.2 cm) between the arms. It is for long sits in a patient room or a home when a standard 19 inch D574 is too narrow or the 250 lb rating is too low.
If 19 inches and 250 lb are enough, use the Drive 3-Position Geri Chair D574. If the person needs a motor that lifts them to a stand, start with a 3-position lift chair instead. A lift chair is not an extra-wide geri chair.
- 25 inch (63.5 cm) seat, 24.5 inches (62.2 cm) between arms
- 500 lb (227 kg)
- Upright, deep recline, elevated leg rest
3-position recline, tray, and casters
Drive prints the same three positions as the standard chair: upright, deep recline, and elevated leg rest / footrest. A retractable lock bar holds the set. Drive's self-adjusting seat suspension is there so the person does not bottom out. There is no lift motor and no hand control.
The large blow-molded tray locks in 5 positions and stores on the side. Five-inch casters, two of them with locks, roll the chair and hold it. Side panels pop off for cleaning. Drive prints a moisture barrier on the seat, a built-in headrest, and angled armrests. The steel frame is a neutral colour Drive says is easy to clean. Foam and vinyl meet California Technical Bulletin 117.

Funding help for a geri chair in Ontario
Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not fund geri chairs, so plan around other routes. Funding that may help instead: March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), extended health plans, long-term-care and community programs, and a geri chair may qualify as a medical expense on a Canadian tax return when prescribed. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.
Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA
Westin's own team delivers and sets up this geri chair across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, fit the tray, lock the casters, and show you the three positions and the lock bar before we leave.
We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather sit in the extra-wide chair first. For a scheduled in-home setup, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works. Same-day delivery is offered through our hospital bed rental service; purchased geri chairs are delivered and set up on a scheduled date.
This geri chair is larger than small parcel goods. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods does not apply. If the chair is going outside the GTA, ask us for a freight quote. Inside Toronto and the GTA, White-Glove Delivery (bring-in, unwrap, test, take packaging away) is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

Frequently asked questions
What Is A Geri Chair?
The Drive 3-Position Bariatric Geri Chair D574EW is a padded extra-wide clinical recliner with casters, a lock bar, and a tray. Drive prints three positions: upright, deep recline, and elevated leg rest. It is built for long sits. It is not a power lift chair.
What Is The Weight Capacity Of This Geri Chair?
The Drive 3-Position Bariatric Geri Chair D574EW is rated at 500 lb (227 kg). Stay at or under that rating. The standard D574 is the 250 lb chair.
How Wide Is The Extra-Wide Seat?
Drive prints the D574EW seat at 25 inches (63.5 cm) wide and 20 inches (50.8 cm) deep, with 24.5 inches (62.2 cm) between the arms. That is the extra-wide card, not the 19 inch D574.
Standard Or Extra-Wide Geri Chair?
The Drive D574EW is the extra-wide 25 inch seat at 500 lb. The Drive D574 is the standard 19 inch seat at 250 lb. Drive prints two capacities and two seat widths, so they stay two products.
Geri Chair Or Lift Chair: Which Do I Need?
The Drive D574EW rolls on casters and reclines with a lock bar. A lift chair uses a motor to raise the person toward a stand. Pick the D574EW when you want an extra-wide tray chair. Pick a lift chair when standing from the seat is the hard part.
Does The Geri Chair Come With A Tray?
Yes. Drive includes a large blow-molded tray on the Drive 3-Position Bariatric Geri Chair D574EW. The tray locks in 5 positions and stores on the side of the chair.
Do The Casters Lock?
Yes. Drive prints 5 inch casters on the Drive D574EW, two of them with locks, so you can roll the chair and then hold it.
