Drive Commode Shower Chair
Accidents happen…that’s life. Due to age or other debilitating circumstances, it is sometimes impossible to make it to the commode as quickly as we’d like. Fortunately, when it comes to elder and disability care, there are home health products that can help when they do. Multi-purpose products serve us best when they perform more than one function, such as the Drive Commode Shower Chair. This mobility product is the perfect homecare solution for those looking for a shower chair that also serves as a commode. Made of durable aluminum, this shower chair can be used in the bath tub as a shower chair or over an existing toilet. It also serves as a bedside commode for those who have trouble walking to the restroom. The removable pail and four rolling wheels are also ideal for caregivers who help with daily care, as it makes bathroom related duties safer and much simpler for both parties. Equipped with rear brakes for safety, the Drive Commode Shower Chair has a padded, u shape, open seat for comfort and a vinyl back that lets users lean back and relax. The seat is attached to an anodized aluminum frame (held down with metal grommets) so there is no need to worry about rust ruining the look of your shower chair – or the base of the seat coming loose after continued use. This feature is especially important if you’ll require help when using your unit, as bathroom accident prevention is always a priority. Padded armrests and a removable 12 qt. commode bucket make this home health product a perfect solution for elderly or disabled individuals who need a little extra help.
