What Is a Shower Chair?
A shower chair is an assistive device that provides a stable place to sit during a shower, reducing the risk of slips and falls. These chairs feature water- and slip-resistant seats, with or without padding, and legs equipped with non-slip or suction-style feet for reliable stability. Designed to remain in the shower, they offer essential support for individuals with mobility challenges, allowing for safer, more independent bathing.
Shower chairs are particularly beneficial for older adults concerned about slipping, as well as individuals living with disabilities, chronic conditions, or those recovering from surgery.
