Bathroom Equipment
Shower chairs, over-toilet frames, rails and transfer aids, and when equipment is not the answer.
Refer for thisWhat it is
Assessment and prescription of bathroom equipment, and the judgement call about where equipment stops being enough and modification starts.
What’s involved
- Shower chairs, stools and commodes
- Over-toilet frames and raised toilet seats
- Rails and transfer benches, positioned where they will actually be gripped
- Bath boards and transfer aids where a bath is what you have
- An honest call on when equipment will not solve it and a modification is needed
Who it’s for
People finding the bathroom the hardest room in the house, and the room where most falls happen.
Where we deliver this
Murray Bridge, Mount Barker, Gawler, the Adelaide Hills, the Riverland, southern Adelaide, Adelaide, and Australia-wide via telehealth where the assessment allows it.
Common questions
Is equipment cheaper than modifying the bathroom?
Usually, and sometimes it is enough. But equipment in a bathroom that cannot fit it safely is money spent twice. We will tell you which situation you are in.
Can rails just be installed anywhere?
No. A rail in the wrong position is worse than none, because people trust it. Position depends on how you actually move, and the wall has to take the load.
Do you assess for commodes?
Yes, including where a commode is a night-time answer rather than a bathroom one.
