Summer is finally here!
Even with the warmer weather people are looking forward to time relaxing
at the pool or even having a BBQ with friends and family. After being done with
all the fun in the sun you might find yourself hot and sweaty and in need of a
cold shower. While you should always be focused on pool and outdoor safety
during these times it can be easy to overlook the necessity of bathroom safety
especially among the aging population in the USA.
Bathroom safety can come in all manners or products from
standard grab bars to specialized toilet seats and frames. One issue that can
affect many individuals is bathtub safety. Whether your customers are concerned
about the difficulty of getting into and out of a tub or just falling in the
bath or shower Alex has a bath chair or bench to fit every need.
To determine the right product for your customer you might
need to discuss their current concerns with bathtub safety. If the main issue
is getting into or out of a tub a transfer bench might be the perfect solution
for them. A transfer bench sits both inside and outside of a bathtub allowing
an individual to sit down on the bench without having to step over a high
bathtub wall and then slide across the seat and fully into the tub. However, if
your customer is concerned more about falling in the tub then a bath bench with
handles might be a better option for them.
Having a secure seat inside a shower or tub can give additional support
and even allow for showering from a seated position if needed.
It is important to screen your customer as they may be shy
or too proud to give the information you need to help them freely. A few simple
and friendly questions can help to make the best choice because there is always
the possibility that they are just a little unsure of themselves around the
bathtub but are still fully mobile and might just need a simple grab bar
installed in their home.
