Shower Chairs

Shower Chairs play a very important role in bath safety. Whether you are buying a shower chair for your own use or as a caregiver, you should be aware of the safety steps to take for proper use of a shower chair. For people who have issues with mobility, getting in and out of the bath or shower can be a difficult task. By using a shower chair, the dangers of the bathroom can be greatly reduced.

Even when two people are present, tripping and slipping may still be an issue while having the chair in the shower. Steps must be taken to ensure safety getting in and out of the shower so there are a few things to consider to staying safe.

Preparation

Make sure the shower chair is placed in the tub facing the shower head. All the legs must be adjusted to the same length and the chair should not wobble. Soaps, shampoos, body wash, and shower sponge should be within close reach of the chair. For extra safety, Grab Bars and a Shower Mat should be in place before entering the shower or bath tub. In some situations the individual should have someone else present or contact someone and let them know what is happening so they can be aware of the situation.
