I work in an assisted living facility. I care for people who can no longer live on their own. They are not yet ready for a nursing home, but they need assistance with their daily living activities. Many of our residents have a power wheel chair. They can no longer get around on their own, and manual wheelchairs are just too hard for them to maneuver. Power wheelchairs allow them to continue to do things for themselves, which allows them to remain in our facility. The controls are easy to operate.
