Bathroom Aids
Daily living aids in the bathroom are designed to help reduce the risk of falls and assist with using the toilet, shower and bathtub safely and independently.
- Shower chairs are great if you struggle to stand for extended periods of time. Some even come with armrests to help you get up from a sitting position.
- Grab Bars greatly reduce the risk of falls and injuries by providing a helping hand when you need to get out of your shower or bathtub.
- Non-Slip Shower Mats are a must have in any bathroom as this is where slips and falls are most likely to occur.
- Raised toilet seats are a great option if you have problems sitting down or getting up from the toilet seat due to problems with arthritis, hip or knee problems.
- Over Toilet Frames also assist with toileting but provide a more stability and support, when getting up from a sitting position.
