Shower Chair

Remember the adage, “Safety First!”… This saying is what the shower chair, bath seat, and other bathroom assistance products have been created for.  Products like these help the elderly, disabled, and obese live a life with dignity and added freedom.  But, if these items are not used and, more importantly, installed properly, then you might as well not even own them.

It is important to install your bathroom safety products correctly.  Cutting corners might be ok for asthetically pleasing additions to your home or bathroom, but for safety products it is an absolute “No-No”.  The great thing is that you can often find people to install your shower chair, bath seat, and/or bath grab bars who will do the job right… for free!  There are organizations that aim to provide services to the elderly and disabled free of charge.  But you have to do a little homework to find them.  Often times when we need a renovation or upgrade done in our home the first place we think of is the big box stores, like home depot or lowes.  These stores are great for finding products and some services that you need right away.  However, installing bathroom safety items like a shower chair or bath grab bars is considered a small ticket job.  Small ticket jobs are often sub-contracted out to a local handyman.  I am all about keeping commerce local.  But, when it comes to your safety in the bathroom I would recommend going with a person or organization that specializes in shower chair or bath grab bar installation.  A company that knows the liabilities it is taking on by taking the job and uses that as a motivation to do the job right, the first time.  Some ways to find such companies is to do a google search for “elderly care organization [in your area]“.  For example, if you live in San Diego, search for, “elderly care organization San Diego”.  The majority of your results will be of companies providing home care services or nursing homes in the greater San Diego area.  Contacting these folks is a great way to get a good referral to someone who you know has done shower chair or bath grab bar installation before, and at a commercial level.  You also might run into a senior safety specialist company or two.  Doing the search above you can find: http://www.seniorsafetyhomecare.com/ .  {We do not endorse this company here at showerchair.biz, but are merely showing you how to find a company that you feel comfortable with.}

So in summary, when you need your bath grab bars or shower chair installed correctly, be sure and find some one who will do the job right.  Your safety and the safety of your patient [if you are a caregiver] depends on it.
