Power Wheelchairs

Choosing the right power wheelchair comes down to how and where it will be used. For someone who spends most of their time indoors, a compact electric wheelchair with adjustable speed settings gives enough control to move safely through hallways and tight spaces. For residents or patients who need more postural support, a high back electric wheelchair provides head and neck stability during longer periods of seated use.

Both styles we carry are foldable, which matters if you're transporting between locations or storing in smaller spaces. They run on rechargeable batteries and are simple to operate with a joystick controller, so there's very little learning curve for new users or staff.

For facilities, electric wheelchairs can reduce the physical strain on caregivers who would otherwise assist with manual propulsion throughout the day. Nursing homes and assisted living communities often keep a few power chairs available for residents whose upper body strength has declined but who still want to move independently. Hospice programs also use them to help patients stay mobile and comfortable for as long as possible.

If you're buying for home use, think about doorway widths, flooring type, and how far the person typically needs to travel. A five-speed model lets you start slow and adjust as confidence builds. If posture or fatigue is a concern, the high back wheelchair option offers better support for the head, neck, and shoulders.

We carry durable medical equipment built for everyday use in both home and facility settings. If you need help deciding which model fits best, email us at info@keraemedical.com.
