Do you have a loved one or need for hand­i­capped acces­sories in the bath­rooms? There are many dif­fer­ent kinds of items in your local phar­macy. If they can’t help you, they can redi­rect you to some­one who can.  You can get on the Inter­net and type in the search engines the key­word hand­i­cap equip­ment; look around there is some­thing for every­body to make his or her life a lit­tle eas­ier and safer.

Does your loved one have a hard time using the bath­room stool?  Some­times get­ting up and down is hard for them, espe­cially if it is lower than 17 inches. Head to your local phar­macy and ask them to boost your bath­room stool. Mak­ing the stool higher will help with back prob­lems, leg prob­lems mak­ing is eas­ier for the to sit down and again to get up. You can add handrails to make it eas­ier yet. Some handrails are portable and can be removed when they are no longer needed.  Be sure they are screwed into the floor to keep them from mov­ing when in use.

Bath time can be a chore for your loved one to do on their own if they need to hang onto some­thing. The tub can really cause a prob­lem when your loved one can’t get up and down or step high enough to get into it. How about using a lift chair for them? All they have to do is sit in it and hit a but­ton and it will lift them up and into the water. There are also man­ual lifts to help take them from the wheel chair into the tub. The man­ual lift takes up a lot of space but very nice because it can be used in oth­ers areas as well like lift­ing from their chair to the bed or another chair. One per­son can con­trol this man­ual chair by putting the cloth swing into the wheel­chair and set­ting the patient on it. Than there is a bar on wheels that you wheel over them and hook the mat on, crank the bar up and swing them over into the tub. No lift­ing and your loved one can relax in the tub.Taking them out is just a sim­ple just revers­ing the process.

Some­times show­ers are eas­ier for you and the loved one to get into. You can also install a walk-in shower to make life eas­ier. There is to step­ping in and out just walk in. These come in many sizes to accom­mo­date your needs from small walk in to stand in to large enough to put a wheel chair in them. With the wheel chair size just push or wheel them in and they can shower sit­ting down.
