Show consideration for your elderly loved ones by providing them with a shower chair, allowing them to bathe safely and comfortably while seated. Your thoughtfulness will give them greater peace of mind.
Who is suitable for using a shower chair?
1.Elderly Individuals
According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's health survey, one in six elderly individuals has experienced a fall. The most common place for these falls at home is the bathroom. Due to weakened muscle strength, seniors often cannot stand for long periods. Therefore, it's essential to have a good shower chair in the bathroom to reduce the risk of falls.
2.Mobility impaired due to injury
Accidents are inevitable in life, and figuring out how to bathe when they happen is undoubtedly a challenge. Wanting to maintain privacy without burdening family members, a shower chair is definitely a necessary choice.
3.People who have difficulty standing for long periods
If someone is unable to stand for long periods due to physical fatigue, pain, or other reasons, a shower chair allows them to sit down during bathing, making it more comfortable for them.
4.Pregnant women
In the early stages of pregnancy when the belly is smaller, some women may choose to stand for showering. However, it's essential to install safety grab bars in the bathroom to prevent slipping. As the pregnancy progresses and weight load increases, pregnant women may find it challenging to reach certain areas for cleaning. Using a backrest bidet shower chair makes bathing during pregnancy more relaxed and safer.
5.Children
When bathing your child, please encourage them to sit down to prevent them from walking around the bathroom, which could lead to slipping. Cultivating the habit of sitting during baths from an early age can help prevent restlessness in the bathroom as they grow older. Sitting down to bathe ensures safety and peace of mind for both the child and the parent.
