In recent years and with the advent of new technology mobility aids have improved greatly benefiting the disabled and elderly. Developments include mobility scooters, stairlifts, adjustable beds, walk in baths, bath seats and Shower Stools.

For those with limited mobility the bathroom can be a dangerous place. It is possible for senior citizens to slip and fall in the shower or tub, causing severe injury.

People sometimes have trouble getting up once they have sat down, so a toilet safety frame fits around or over the toilet and provides armrests so that the user can have something to support themselves with as they stand up or sit down.

Raised toilet seats are also useful as they attach to the toilet seat so that the user does not have as far to stand up or sit down.
Using a bath seat in the bathtub or shower lets the user sit down while they're bathing, so they don't have to worry about standing up and possibly slipping.

I would recommend the kind with a backrest and armrests, as they provide support in standing up and sitting down. There are types with padded seats for people who need a softer surface. They have chair with cut out seats, so you can wash the undersides, and they have models that fold up when not in use. The seats are usually constructed of rust resistant material like aluminum, stainless steel or plastic and are generally quite lightweight.

You can then sit in the bath enjoying the experience without strain or undue effort, you can wash in privacy and generally take your time.

Product Specifications:
  • High-quality chrome fixtures
  • Easy to operate drain release
  • No-leak door lock and sealing system
  • Removable access panels
  • Deck mounted shower head
  • Contoured seating
  • Optional therapy systems with additional heater for tub-wall jets, air, and whirlpool options

Not only do these products provide physical safety, but they also provide a peace of mind for the users, as well as their loved ones. All because of Shower Stools in the tub or shower.




Same goes for the elderly and the disabled. Because of the glossy surfaces, water, and electrical wiring installed, there are numerous accidents that has happened inside the bathroom. It is therefore with utmost importance that we always keep the bathroom as safe as possible.
