Shower Seats

Remain seated while bathing and minimize the chance of a slip or fall accident. Wall-mounted, fold-down or removable Shower Seats provide relaxed seating for those who are unstable on their feet or require showering in a seated position.

Shower seats help seniors or the mobility-challenged have more stability and comfort in the shower. It is considerably easier to sit down on a shower seat and feel secure instead of standing up and moving around, especially when the floor is wet and slippery. As a result, seniors feel more independent and confident in their choice to Age in Place.

Wall-mounted, fold-down, 4-legged, or removable shower seats provide relaxed seating and safety while washing, shaving or simply taking a break from the task of standing up straight under hot water. Remain seated while bathing and minimize the chance of a slip or fall accident.

For overall bathing safety and usability, we typically recommend that our clients think about adding these safety options to their project:

• Have the tub and shower water controls closer to the entry-point so they can be reached from outside the tub/shower area.

• Install lever handles

• Have a grab bar/shelf combo installed for soap, shampoos and towels

• Have the water pressure controlled and install anti-scald controls

• Add light to the shower stall if there isn’t one
