A lifting and lowering chair is provided. The lifting and lowering chair includes a base having an upper side and a lower side. The lower side is formed to rest on a surface, supporting the lifting and lowering chair in an upright position. The present invention further includes a lifting actuator attached to the base and a chair attached to the lifting actuator. The lifting actuator is operable to lift the chair to an extended position and retract the chair to a retracted position. The extended position includes a greater distance from the base to the chair as compared to the retracted position. Therefore, a disabled user may lower themselves and raise themselves from the floor.
