Daily Living Aids in The Bathroom

The bathroom is such a dangerous place for elders or those with disabilities. They can may have trouble standing up from the toilet, need to sit down in order to bath, or worse, slip and fall on the tile due to a lack of handling aids available. Luckily, Allegro Medical has tons of Bathroom Assist items for increased safety, security and confidence in the bathroom.

Commodes and Commode Accessories
The Bathroom Commode is great for those who have difficulty getting on or off of the toilet. There is one with a weight capacity of 300 pounds from Invacare called the All-in-One Commode with height adjustments that can be made in 1" increments from 23" to 29". This is on commode that can be used bedside with a backrest or it can act as a toilet safety frame or raised toilet seat. If you prefer one that can store out of the way for relatives and visitors that come to town, perhaps the Folding Commode would be a better fit for you. For a mobile commode, there is a Drop Arm Shower Chair and Commode that converts into a wheeled shower chair as well.

Raised Toilet Seats
Depending on whether you'd like a elevated toilet seat extension or a kit that raises the entire toilet seat, there is bound to be a Raised Toilet Seat fit just for you. A popular model of toilet seat risers is the Toilevator Toilet Seat Riser. The Toilevator raises the entire base of the toilet off of the ground for more stability. We also have a Toilet Seat Extender with Arms to assist in your mobility on and off of the toilet that simply and securely attaches to any bathroom commode.

Grab Bars
Grab Bars are widely used in the bathroom, but this is an item so necessary for safety, it can be used anywhere in the house. They can be installed anywhere and used for just about anything. A very versatile set is the set of Suction Cup Grab Bars. Release levers make installing and removing the portable suction cup grab bars easy. Or if you prefer something installed check out the Invacare Knurled Grab Bars. Although not as mobile, these grab bars definitely do more than get the job done. They are rust-resistant and can hold up to 250 lbs.
