BATHING: SHOWER INDEPENDENTLY
IN THE bathroom, a high-sided bath can be a major obstacle for someone who is suffering stiffness or aches and pains as they grow older. Lifting the legs over the side can be excruciating — and there is all the more risk of slipping when you are not feeling steady on your feet. In fact, 70 per cent of falls in the home happen in the bathroom. But such safety risks can be reduced by having a walk-in shower installed. These are designed to allow users to enjoy a comfortable, relaxing shower with confidence and in safety, thanks to discreet seating, a grab bar and slip-resistant flooring that keeps users steady. They are stylish as well as practical and can create a fresh, contemporary look for your bathroom. And, thanks to careful planning by the leading mobility bathing companies, installation can take just a day or two, with minimal fuss. Enjoy your independence!
