Depending on others for personal hygiene

Very few people will want others to do their basic chores and especially when it comes to personal hygiene, by having a portable shower wheelchair you will allow them to have the freedom and dignity of doing their own personal hygiene without your help.

Pushing wheelchairs around the home or even outside can be an tiring experience and even using your portable shower wheelchair will take a toll on the user. By using a power portable wheelchair can help remove the stress involved and at the same time will restore the person’s freedom and giving them access to places they have never been before.

You will need to take note that electric motor wheelchairs can not be used as a shower wheelchair since getting the wheelchair wet can affect the power unit. Having a separate portable shower wheelchair in which the person can use the bathroom on their own is nearly a necessity if they regularly use a motorized chair for other chores.
