Safe Assist Bathroom Fittings to Consider for Elderly and Disability Bathroom Installations
Support Grab Rails
Safety grab rails are used to assist a person’s balance while standing, sitting, raising and other body movements in locations that are deemed stressful and or high-risk in people with mobility deficiencies.

The types of grab rails used in the bathroom and shower include:
Shower systems are most commonly used, in-home care and in healthcare facilities for people in need of additional assistance to boost independence when showering. Benefits include safety, overall ease of use, a height adjustment slider for the shower head and the inclusion of vertical and horizontal support grab rails.
