How Do You Use A Shower Chair? | Bathroom Safety Products For Seniors

Place The Shower Chair In The Tub Or Shower Stall

The shower chair isn’t very useful to the senior if it’s not in the bathtub or shower stall.

You’ll want to position it in there now, ensuring it’s as stable as it can be. There should be no possibility the shower chair can slide, wobble, or lean. Otherwise, you need to reposition it until it is stable.

All four rubberized feet should touch the floor of the tub or shower without the legs losing their levelness, as well.
