Does Medicare pay for lift chair for disabled seniors?

I have been disabled since March 1999 and my knees, shoulders, and back have steadily gotten worse. It is very difficult and painful to get up out of a chair. I need to know if I could get help buying a lift chair.

Here is what Medicare has to say regarding patient lifts.

My Dad needed a lift chair, so I rented one for him to try out before purchasing the chair. At this point in time I didn't check to see if Medicare would pay for it as there was so much going on health wise. All in all, Dad really liked the chair :)
