Many individuals enjoy a relaxing soak in their bath. However, it may become increasingly difficult for an individual to transfer in or out of their bath, or even access their bathroom, particularly if it is upstairs. Some difficulties may be managed by using bathing equipment such as bath boards, bath lifts or grab rails.
When considering bathing equipment an individual assessment with an occupational therapist may be appropriate, as your safety in your bathroom is very important and there may be individual factors which determine which bathing equipment best suits your needs. The information on this site is not a substitute for an individual assessment.
