As we grow older it often becomes increasingly difficult to maintain our independence.

Everyday living tasks, which we normally take for granted, can become a real challenge. It's not just getting out and about that can become difficult either. In and around the home even the simplest activities, such as getting out of a chair, dressing or bathing become a real frustration.

However, unless you've had personal experience of disability or the challenges that come with growing older, its difficult to know where to go to find help.

Keep Able is a specialist retailer of products for the elderly and disabled people and has the UK's largest showroom of its kind. It is located near to the Merry Hill Centre. Store Manager, Mandy Hyde said: "If you visit the store you will receive a warm welcome from friendly, helpful staff, who can provide advice to help you select the products that are right for you. Even a small inexpensive piece of equipment can make a big difference when it comes to making life easier."

In addition to the smaller aids to daily living, the Keep Able showroom provides an opportunity to try a wide range of larger products for around the home including Electrically operated Rise and Recline Chairs and Beds. There is even a working stairlift for you to try.

When it comes to getting out and about Keep Able can also help. Their range of Wheelchairs and Scooters is very extensive. This is a particular area of expertise and one where selecting the appropriate product is vital.

For more complicated need a private area is provided to carry out assessments for supportive or pressure relieving seating systems, manual wheelchairs and powerchairs. Their Product Specialists often work in conjunction with therapists and can provide expert advise.
