Shower Stools Address Bathroom Safety Issues
Slipping or falling while taking a shower is very common in the bathroom. This is one among the many age-related concerns of the elderly. The bathroom is simply hazardous to someone who is having difficulty moving.
If you have old people living with you, or even people who are physically challenged, there are simple things that you can do to make their lives a little bit easier and safer. You may want to start in the bathroom for it is one of the most fall-prone areas in the house. Here are some things that you can do:
Ensure that your bathroom is properly lit. Most seniors are already visually impaired, which oftentimes worsen their mobility problems. If your room has bright lighting, it will be easier for the old people to move around because they can clearly see their surroundings.
Make their lives easier by making everything easily accessible for the seniors. Check whether they can reach the light switches and electrical outlets. Ensure that they know where to find the soap, shampoo, towels, and other bathroom essentials. Make sure that they can get what they need without having to exert extra effort.
Put non-skid mats inside the shower and on the bathroom floors to avoid possible accidents. Bathroom surfaces can be very slippery especially when wet. Non-skid mats increase home safety for elderly people and adds stability for those with poor balance.
Consider buying shower stool to allow your elders to sit while taking a bath. Shower stools are specially designed chairs made for the elderly and disabled. They allow easy bathing for those who have mobility problems. Your elders will not have to stand in the shower for long when you have chairs in the shower. They can bath by themselves while sitting. Suction pads or rubber stoppers are attached on the feet of the chair to ensure that it does not slip.
Shower Stools with Cutout by Endres is one option that you can purchase for your home. Known as the Euro-style shower chair, the stool features a cutout for incontinent bathers. You can place it in the shower or bathtub without worrying of slipping because it has extra large suction cups for added safety. This heavy-duty chair can carry persons with up to 400 pounds. The shower seat is impact-resistant, crack-proof, rustproof, and easy to clean. Unlike regular chairs, this one is lightweight for it is manufactured with 1-inch aluminum tubing.
Shower stools are great comfort-givers. Even people without mobility issues can use them. You can just sit in the shower and enjoy the water without experiencing pains or strains. They come in different forms, shapes, and sizes, depending on the size of your shower or tub. Some have adjustable height legs and optional backrest. There are expensive pieces and inexpensive ones, depending on your budget.
If you have elders, or elders having difficulty to move, or disabled relatives, or if you simply want to enjoy bathing, consider grabbing a seat for your bathroom.
