3 MUST-HAVE BATH AIDS

According to recent research, one out of every four seniors suffers from a fall each year and approximately 80% of these events occur in the bathroom.

Be on the safe side and minimise this risk with these 4 quick home improvements that will give peace of mind for independent living.

Tip 1: Install grab rails around shower and toilet areas for extra support

PHHC offers a range of Grab Rails for bathroom safety. We can even help with the installation so don’t put this job off until it is too late.

Tip 2: Raise the height of the toilet seat

Let’s face it, as we get older, everyday activities can become difficult. To assist seniors who lack mobility, strength or flexibility, a simple thing such as a raised toilet seat can really make a difference!

PHHC offers a  Raised Toilet Seat with Arms designed to support users to lower themselves and rise from the toilet independently.

Tip 3: Cleverly place bath/shower mats

Choose non-slip rubber bath mats for grip and stability. By placing these next to the tub, in the shower and in wet areas you can minimise accidents.

PHHC offers bath and shower mats with clear rubber slip resistant top surface with large holes and large suction cups.
