Gordon Ellis Ashby Bath Shortener

Product Information

They can generally be used in all baths, although those with larger bases to their legs are more suitable in acrylic baths than those with narrow legs as the weight is spread over a larger surface area. Once seated on the board you can support yourself on the bath sides to lower yourself down onto a lower bath seat.

Plastic covered foam cushions can be used to line the bath to make someone who is frail more comfortable, or to increase your safety if you have involuntary movements. The user may benefit from holding the rail while they sit on the board, then turn and lift their legs in/out of the bath. But just like any vehicle, your scooter requires regular maintenance and occasional repairs to keep it running smoothly. This Economy Foot Brush is the perfect bathing aid for those users that have difficulty bending down as it has been designed to allow a user to effortlessly scrub their toes when in the bath or shower. Unfortunately you do not qualify if you are elderly but able-bodied or if you are only temporarily disabled or injured.If mobility and transfers are difficult for you, you may need to consider changing your environment, adapting or building a bathroom which will meet your needs, or installing equipment that will help you and a carer if you require one.

Since the boards can withstand loads of up to 150 kg, depending on the model, you can also use the board as a bathtub seat. It may become difficult to get in or out of the bath, or the bathroom itself may become inaccessible, particularly if it is upstairs. The tray features a unique flexible rubber edging that surrounds the tray and neck opening to provide additional comfort and prevent slipping. There are long handled washing and personal care equipment and hand and foot care aids available, designed to help make it easier to reach parts of your body when washing with less stretching or bending. Mobility scooters have transformed the lives of millions, offering independence and ease of movement to those with mobility challenges.If you experience difficulty turning your taps on and/or off due to a weak or painful grip, you may wish to consider trying tap turners. If more able, you may choose to use the bath board and seat to move down, step by step, into the bath. All have an adjustable fixing system, usually brackets on the underside, which braces the board against the sides of the bath.
