Old person taking support when getting up from sajdah

Q: An old person cannot get up easily from sajdah. He takes support by leaning on the ground/holding a chair next to him.

Is the above better or should he rather sit on a chair for sajdah?

A: He should take the support.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
