Keeping safety worries at bay
MOST of us want to grow old in our own home, maintaining independence as far as possible. But issues such as poor balance can make this difficult. However, a walk-in shower is a helpful tool you can put in place to support your mobility. It will have an anti-slip shower tray that will help to avoid any accidents in the bathroom. If you can’t stand for a long period of time, a shower seat can offer support for your back and legs. Shower seats should be steady and durable, and most designs have grips at the end of the legs. Fold-down seats are easy to clean, usually with a simple wipe, and they really take the pressure off your feet while you are having an exhilarating shower in the morning. Add a robust grab rail, available in white or chrome. Or choose an ultradiscreet type that is combined with a towel rail or soap dish, for example. Modifying your home now could potentially save you a few grey hairs in the future. Installing bathing aids can create a bathroom environment that promotes freedom and keeps your safety worries at bay.
