Bathroom 2
Swivel Bather
I want to...
- be able to use my over bath shower safely
- I need help to step over the side of the bath to use the over bath shower, and I find it difficult to stand to use it
Benefits
Swivel bathers are used to enable you to use an over bath shower safely and eliminate the need for you to have to step over the bath side. The seat swivels (by pulling a small lever under the seat) which means there is less effort / friction when turning. You will need to be able to raise your legs over the edge of the bath. You will then usually remain seated to shower or be assisted to wash (whilst seated over the bath).
Things to consider
- It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure this equipment is secure.
- Weight restrictions apply.
- Not compatible with all bath styles.
