Not all persons accommodated in nursing homes or the like use the wheelchair 104. Some people can walk using a walking stick, and others can walk on their own. Others do not need care when eating. However, the conventional meal table for nursing care is designed on the assumption that all persons use the wheelchair 104 and need nursing care. for that reason,
Since the care area 103 needs to be provided in the center, the outline is substantially circular. In addition, since it is necessary to provide a space for accommodating the wheelchair 104 below the top plate 101 at each seating position, it is not necessary to increase the size. If a disabled person using a wheelchair who does not need nursing care and a healthy person who does not need nursing care and does not use a wheelchair are seated at the same time and eat meals, it is not necessarily convenient.
