Bathroom Safety and Bath Transfer Benches

Nearly 30% of individuals over 65 who fell in the bathroom were diagnosed with fractures. What's more, nearly 38% of adults who were 85 and older were hospitalized with injuries due to these types of falls. Bathroom falls remain one of the most dangerous risks for seniors, which makes bathroom safety paramount. This is particularly true in the bathtub. Skin care is essential, but the bathtub and shower areas can present significant risks for older individuals. Transfer benches, shower chairs and bathtub benches are ideal for people at risk of falling due to poor balance, fatigue or weakness. Bath transfer benches are also ideal for those recovering from hip fractures, injuries or strokes.

The Difference Between Shower Chairs and Transfer Benches

Transfer benches tend to be wider than shower chairs and straddle a bathtub's wall. These provide support for individuals as they enter and leave the bathtub. Although shower chairs allow users to remain seated while showering or bathing, they do not provide the same support as transfer benches.
