🚿 Shower Chairs and Benches: A Caregiver’s Guide

Who It’s For: Loved ones who feel unsteady in the shower, tire easily, or need help maintaining balance while bathing.

How to Choose:

  • Back Support: Choose a chair with a backrest for those who need extra stability or tire quickly.

  • Armrests: Helpful for safe transfers in and out of the chair.

  • Height Adjustability: Ensures feet rest flat on the floor for maximum safety.

  • Non-Slip Feet: Rubber tips prevent sliding on wet surfaces.

  • Weight Capacity: Always check the chair’s limit to ensure safe support.

Caregiver Tips:

  • Place a non-slip mat under the chair for added grip.

  • Test the chair’s stability before each use.

  • Pair with grab bars for safer entry and exit.

  • Keep a towel or robe within reach to reduce movement after bathing.
