FLORENCE–Even though
many people try to maintain an
active lifestyle and get regular
exercise, the body still changes
with age. Roby’s Furniture &
Appliance and Th e Mattress
Shoppe will be showcasing
three diff erent ways of help-
ing people off set some of those
changes at this week’s Boomer
and Senior Expo with Sim-
mons mattresses on an adjust-
able bed; a Flexsteel lift chair;
and a SoCozy heat and mas-
sage chair by Southern Motion.
Getting a good night’s sleep
can go a long way towards pre-
venting fatigue. Sleep gives a
body the time it needs to repair
itself overnight. If you wake up
stiff and sore, or feeling more
tired than you did the night
before, it could mean that it’s
time for a new mattress.
A Simmons mattress on an
adjustable bed from Th e Mat-
tress Shoppe at Roby’s can help
you get that “better night’s
sleep.”
If you fi nd yourself sitting
in an uncomfortable chair be-
cause it’s the only one in the
house that doesn’t hurt when
you stand up, you might think
about a lift chair. It can help
you stand up without putting
strain on your back or knees.
It can also help you maintain
your balance as you rise, pos-
sibly preventing a devastating
fall.
Or, how about the new
SoCozy massage chair from
Southern Motion. A gentle
massage, either full back or
lumbar along with the heat of
the SoCozy, can soothe those
tired muscles.
Roby’s Furniture has a very
large selection of manufactur-
ers and models on display and
will have several at the expo,
where you’ll fi nd brands like
Ultra Comfort and Med-Lift ,
as well as Flexsteel and LaZBoy.
Members of the Roby’s Sales
Team will have a display of
products for you to try out.
Th ey’ll also be there with plen-
ty of information and explain
our “Take It Back” guarantees
so you’ll feel comfortable with
your purchase.
In addition, Roby’s off ers sev-
eral ways to pay. If you special
order and pay in advance, you
will save 20 percent off your lift
chair or adjustable base — of-
fer good only through Th urs-
day, Oct. 31. Financing your
purchase can be paid over 18
months with deferred interest,
with credit approval required.
Create your perfect home
with furniture, appliances and
mattresses that are just right!

Post-Acute
Problem
Since 1979, Addus HomeCare, Inc.
has served families at home, pro-
viding quality in-home supportive
services to elderly and younger per-
sons with disabilities. Our approach
is simple: We provide great care and
we pay attention. In the conduct of
providing our services, we watch for
important changes in health condi-
tion so we can promptly get that in-
formation to the appropriate health
resource.
Early identifi cation leads to early
intervention. Early intervention leads
to lower health care costs and a dra-
matic increase in quality of life for
our consumers. Th at is our purpose
and how we should be measured.
Siuslaw Area Partnership to Prevent Substance Abuse, in collabo-
ration with the community, provides substance abuse prevention
education and information for youth and families to increase their
awareness regarding the eff ects of alcohol and drugs.
