Stuck in the bath? Swap to a shower
SOMETIMES it takes a crisis, such as getting stuck in the bath, to make people realise it’s time to change the way they bathe. Finding they can’t get out of the bath happens to more people than you’d think. Those with arthritis or other conditions affecting their mobility can find that getting in and out of a standard bath becomes a real struggle and a genuine risk to their safety. Having an easy access shower fitted, complete with safety grab rails, shower seat, easy clean walls and ceiling panels and slip-resistant flooring, can make all the difference, as it eliminates the need for the risky manoeuvre of climbing over a high bath-side. A smooth, stress-free upgrade can be completed within a few days, providing a beautiful, contemporary bathroom suitable for a lifetime of good use. Use a reputable bathing company, specialising in showers for those with reduced mobility, and you should benefit from sound advice and a friendly and efficient service, with minimum mess and disruption. Having a safer bathroom can make a real difference to independence and peace of mind, while providing the freedom to take a shower every day.
