The Best Shower Benches For Seniors

Shower BenchFor people who need assistance for getting into a tub can be a crisis waiting to happen.  People who need help to take a shower or bath, a bathtub transfer bench is the problem solver.  The way it functions is that a person sits at the end of the transfer bench that is located on the outside rim of your bathtubs.  

Then, the person needs to swing the leg over the top of the tub.  Then they need to center  on the bench.  Now they can actually get in. They can then gently scoot over to access the interior of the tub.
