Shower Chairs

The bathtub is a dangerous place. Hard, wet surfaces are a common source of fall-related injuries. For those of us with limited mobility, the risk of slipping is compounded. The use of shower chairs in the bath is the recommended solution for safe, comfortable bathing. These water-resistent chairs come in many forms, from a simple backed stool to permanently mounted units that fold out of the way when not in use. There are padded chairs with a variety of support features, and some come with an integrated commode for convenience. Transfer benches and grab bars aid further in getting in and out of the tub safely.
