Shower Chairs at Unique Pharmacy
Taking a shower can be uncomfortable and even dangerous for older people and those with disabilities. Falls account for as many as 70% of all unintentional injury death and many of these falls occur in the bathroom. People with limited mobility may have difficulty standing in the shower long enough to get the job done. Shower seats make it possible to shower without standing. This reduces the risk of falling and makes the experience more comfortable.
Types of Shower Seats
Shower seats come in a variety of sizes and styles. Some have backs and arm rests for added support and comfort. Most are made with light weight plastic making them easy to transfer in and out of the shower. There are also bath benches without backs that have a sturdy aluminum frame for stability and durability. Corrosion-resistant and made from recycled materials, these benches are designed to make showering a safe and more comfortable experience.
