A height adjustable aluminium shower chair is the workhorse of bathroom safety. The legs adjust to suit the client and the floor, the rubber tips hold on wet tiles, and the moulded seat has drainage holes so water does not pool under the client.
Arms and a contoured back give support on the way down and something to push against on the way up, which suits clients with weak quads, poor standing balance or low endurance in the shower.
The aluminium frame does not rust, and the whole chair wipes down and disinfects in seconds, so it holds up in a busy home bathroom or an aged care facility where several people use it in a day.
It is a common first prescription after a fall or a hospital stay.
