Shower Wheelchair Information
A shower wheelchair makes bathing a safer and easier task while limiting the need for assistance from caregivers. It also helps reduce the risk of slipping on the shower or bathroom floor.
Lightweight and easy to transport, shower wheel chairs are usually made of a combination of plastic and rustproof steel. Some models are foldable and easy to store.Arm rests are easily removed or have swing-away construction for ease of washing. Chairs are height-adjustable so the user can reach the shower and water controls without risk of falling.
Some models have flat seats while others have seats shaped like commodes that allow for easy access to the bather's underside. A shower wheel chair needs to be used with an accessible roll-in shower stall. The shower chair must also be small enough to fit into the opening of the shower stall and enable the user to easily wheel in and out without a caregiver's help. The cost of mobility shower chairs ranges between $200 and $1,800. Prices vary depending on the wheelchair's size, consruction, features and brand.
