Have you considered a shower seat?

How often do you take a bath rather than a shower? If, like the majority of the population your bath is pretty much redundant have you thought of replacing it altogether with a fresh, stylish level access shower area? A level access shower is also ideal for those with mobility problems as there are no steps or awkward shower doors to tackle. With the addition of a shower seat, a level access shower can also provide a safe bathing option.

There are a range of shower seats now available featuring unique folding mechanisms that provide a stylish and contemporary seating option. Available in a wide range of colours including sandstone, there’s a seat to suit all bathroom colour schemes. Wall mounted, seats can be fitted at any height to suit the user and soft touch seats are warm to the touch.

For those with impaired balance, many seats come with the options of back rests and arms so you can convert the shower bench into a seat if your needs change.

Grab rails

From practical plastic rails to stylish chrome designs, the addition of a grab rail can provide added reassurance when you need it. Living Needs can position the rails to suit your needs and can also work with your occupational therapist to ensure that the rails are in the optimum position for your individual requirements.

More information on the range of shower seats and grab rails available for level access showering is available from Living Needs at 1 Mill Road, Barnstaple or call 01271 374600.
