Did you know that the bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house? Slippery floors, hard surfaces, and an awkward layout can all pose a risk, especially for seniors or those with mobility issues.

That's why we offer a range of solutions to prevent falls and ensure a more secure bathroom experience.

Comprehensive Bath Upgrades for Enhanced Mobility

Our bath safety solutions include:

Grab Bars: Grab bars are a simple yet effective solution for improving bathroom safety. They can be installed near the toilet, shower, and bathtub to provide stability and support. Grab bars come in different lengths and materials to match the style of your bathroom. They can also be fitted with color-contrasting strips to make them more visible.
Transfer Bathtubs: A common issue for many people is safely getting in and out of the bathtub. A transfer bathtub is specially designed to allow people to sit on the tub's edge and swing their legs over. This eliminates the need to step over the edge where slips and falls occur. Transfer bathtubs come in various sizes and styles to suit different needs and preferences.
Bath Steps: Bath steps are useful for people with difficulty getting into a standard bathtub. They create a smaller step to climb, reducing the risk of tripping and slipping. Bath steps can be lightweight and portable, making them easy to move around and adjust as needed.
Medical Transfer Benches: Medical transfer benches are ideal for people with limited mobility or balance issues, making it easier to move from a wheelchair to the bathtub. They usually consist of a sturdy bench with adjustable legs and a backrest, which can be set up inside or outside the tub. The user can then slide across the bench to enter the tub safely.
Bath Seats and Transfer Benches: Bath seats and transfer benches are typically used for ongoing support inside the bathtub. They come in different shapes and sizes and are designed to provide comfort and stability during showering or bathing. They are also adjustable to suit different user needs.
