Bathroom Safety Aids
Bathroom Safety Aids
The first factor you want to determine is what part of your routine could use the most help. Think about your day-to-day activities and how you spend your time in the bathroom. For example, are there any areas where you struggle to maintain your balance? If you find yourself needing a bit of assistance when you get in and out of the shower or tub, you’d benefit from a set of grab bars. You’ll be able to hold on to the grab bars as you enter and exit the shower or tub, so you no longer have to worry about losing your balance or falling.
You may also want to consider installing toilet safety rails for extra support when using the toilet. This is another bathroom safety product to consider if balance or mobility are an issue for you. The concept is similar to grab bars, but they are placed near your toilet. This allows you to hold onto the safety rails as you lower your body onto the toilet and as you return to the standing position. Say goodbye to the days of being afraid of falling while using the toilet.
We hope this information has been helpful. When you're ready to check out the options, stop in and see us at Southwest Mobility. We proudly serve those in Phoenix and Tempe, AZ. We can also assist with medical equipment service, repairs, and rentals. Our team looks forward to helping you find the right bathroom safety products for your needs.
Bath Chairs
A bath chair, also known as a shower chair, is a useful safety tool for people who lack the strength or balance to stand up in the shower safely. Instead of standing, sit in one of these waterproof, slip-resistant chairs so you can focus on bathing instead of hanging on to a safety bar. They are usually height-adjustable and come with or without armrests, among other variables. Also, consider a transfer bench. These help you get in and out of the tub or shower in a safe, seated position.
Toilet Seats
A toilet safety frame adds armrests to your toilet, so your transitions between standing and sitting are safer and easier. We have many models, most with adjustable features to ensure they fit your toilet and bathroom. If your toilet is in a tight space, be sure to measure the dimensions so you get a frame that fits. Another option is a raised toilet seat, for anyone who finds the standard height challenging to manage.
Grab Bars
Every tub or shower stall should have grab bars installed because people of all ages and abilities can slip in the shower. With a securely placed grab bar, you can keep your balance, entering and exiting the shower safely and securely. You can also install them by the toilet, to make the transition between standing and sitting easier. We have temporary grab bars, installed via powerful suction cups, for bath use.
