Handicap Showers - Few Safety Tips To Avoid Falling In Bathroom

Sometimes it is difficult to choose handicap showers that will accommodate your loved ones

, or even yourself. However, today it is easy to buy handicap products, since technology has advanced. Today, you will find a wide array of handicap products, including the showers.

Handicap Showers help to avoid becoming one of million people, who are injured in falls, take action on the following safety tips:

1.Water tends to stick around for a while even in dangerous places. You must have a bath mat outside your shower. Safety grid or rubber brush mats provide secure traction on wet surfaces, are stiffer than the pretty throw rug and safer with walker use.

2.When balance and strength are an issue, a tub transfer bench eliminates stepping in and out and allows easy access from the seated position at all times. This will not work with glass doors or in a shower-only stall. Tub transfer benches are not shower or tub chairs, which fit entirely inside the tub or shower.

3.Glass can be just as deadly as water. Many bathtubs have sliding glass doors. Remove these (and the frame which can catch fragile toes) and replace them with a shower curtain rod and shower certain. There are several reasons for this, most importantly, the danger of cuts, bleeding and potential death from falling into that glass.

4.Today's economy is pressing money saving measures from every angle. Medical equipment does not have to be the exception. Your most basic shower bench or bathtub chair will be the cheapest. Prices climb, though, when you add a back, arm holds and other accessories.

5.No matter what type of bench or chair you use, ALWAYS use a no-slip mat as well. This mat MUST contain each leg of your chair or bench (inside the tub) especially if you are using a plastic patio chair. Sitting height is not adjustable on a patio chair tending towards more pressure against the slippery floor to try and stand.

6.Built-in shower seats look good in a picture but can become a water slide in reality. Simply place a folded towel on this surface to provide more traction. Yes, the towel gets wet and yes, it pads a frail bottom and yes, your loved ones will thank you for that.

7.Consider the health giving effects of a shower, even sitting on a bench. Water of various temperatures on the body can be calming, soothing and healing far more than we realize. Your safety is number one. Protect your health as well. Be persistent in gaining the strength, balance and mobility needed to enjoy this health giving aspect of life.
