Falls account for nearly 30 percent of accidents in the home, and the majority of these falls happen in the bathroom. Add to that the fact that standard bathrooms are not designed to safely accommodate people weighing 400 pounds or more, and you realize that overweight seniors are exposed to a higher risk of falls. The addition of bariatric bathroom aids will go a long way toward providing for the special safety needs of a larger person.
One of the most useful bathroom aids for a larger person is a heavy duty bath transfer bench. The transfer bench provides a transition and resting place while the bariatric patient moves from wheelchair or commode chair to the bath. The transfer bench can be a substitute when a shower chair is not available, and is equally useful when one prefers to use a hand shower and sit across the tub.
When extra stability is needed, there are alternative bathroom aids including the bariatric bath chair. This usually comes with suction cups to make sure the feet do not slip on the smooth tub surface and with an extra wide seat, strong enough to support 550 pounds.
A conveniently located grab bar is an easy way to provide a standard bathroom with the bathroom aids larger people need, making it easier for you to stand or sit and take care of your bathing, toileting and showering activities. Grab bars can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally on the tub itself or on the walls near the toilet and bath, or can be installed from ceiling to floor. A grab bar doesn’t need to look institutional—many stylish options are available that blend with your existing décor.
