A lift chair includes a chair frame, a stationary base section, and a motorized lift mechanism. Engagement of the motorized lift mechanism causes movement of a lift frame which is connected to the chair frame to cause movement from a first recumbent position to a second tilted position and allowing the user to be assisted to a standing position. Preferably, the chair can be rocked back and forth longitudinally, with the rocking motion being disabled while the lift mechanism is engaged. According to another preferred aspect, the chair can include a reclining back section which operates independently of the lift mechanism.
