A chair including a device for transferring a patient from a bed to the chair is provided with a mobile frame on which is mounted at least two segments which are pivotally connected, in particular a seat segment and a back support segment. These are at least adjustable between a seat condition in which they are angled with respect to each other and a laying condition in which they are substantially aligned. The segments are supported at one side and adjustable in height direction with respect to the frame. The chair is provided with transfer means for transferring the patient from the bed to the chair. The frame and the segments are adapted such, that the segments substantially rest on the floor in the laying condition in the lowest position of the segments so as to be able to transfer the patient from the floor to the chair by means of the transfer means.
