Shower Chair Seats

leave a comment »

When dealing with an elderly person, with disabilities, it can be very difficult to help them bath or take a shower.  A shower chair seat can be a real life saver.  As a care giver to my mother, using a shower chair seat not only helped my mother be a little more independent, but saved my back, arms and neck.  Caregiver injuries are a common occurrence.  With the shower chair seat my mother worries less about falling, and I have more peace of mind.  On her good days the shower chair seat allows her to take a shower with out assistance form me.   I am amazed at how a product as simple as a shower chair seat can with my mother’s  independence.  If you are currently a caregiver for an elderly person with physical limitations, or if you are elderly with diminishing physical limitation, please consider purchasing a shower chair seat.  You may even want a shower chair seat for yourself.  When my grandchildren come to stay the weekend, they always ask if they can take a shower on Great Grandmas shower chair seat.  I think that my inlaws will be getting a shower chair seat for Christmas.  I hope the shower chair seat helps others that are going through the same things I am. Check out our find selection of shower chair seats at TheMedicalClub.comShower chair seats start at under $50, a wise investment to say the least.

Thank you,

NuProdx Multichair

with one comment

NuProdx MultichairWhen it comes to bathroom access for persons with disabilities the challenges for both that person and caregivers can be very difficult. A fairly new solution is now available at TheMedicalClub.com, the Nuprodx Multichair. Nuprodx has developed a line of bathroom access chairs that can solve a mountain of problems. Beginning with the Nuprodx Multichair 3000, the best tub, shower and toilet chair available anywhere.It is stable, lightweight and the optional transfer cushion (Nuprodx Multichair 3000TX) can be added for transfers into a tub area. The Nuprodx Multichair 3000 also comes with a nylon travel bag. The chair can be folded, placed in the bag and it’s ready to go when you are. The bag will fit under a wheelchair, pass through airport security scanners and easily stow in an overhead bin on most aircraft. Next up in the Nuprodx Multichair line is the 4000. With added wheels and caregiver handles, swing away foot rests and fold back locking padded arms, the Multichair 4000 becomes an excellent roll-in shower chair as well as a roll over toileting chair. These three Nuprodx Multichairs make for an excellent bathroom solution and have left me quite impressed with the Nuprodx line. But Nuprodx did not stop there. They developed a rail bath transfer system that allows the user to roll up to the tub, connect to a rail frame and then slide over into the tub area without ever leaving their chair. The advantages to this system are enormous, not the least of which is the relief from difficult wheelchair transfers in the bathroom itself. What a relief for the caregiver, especially when attempting to transfer a person with limited sterngth in their arms and legs. Further, Nuprodx carefully thought through this product line as well, making it lightweight, easily removable so others can use the bathtub and easy to reinstall. If you are searching for some bath safety solutions, including the often difficult search for the right bath transfer system, I would encourage you to visit our NuProdx Multichair line at TheMedicalClub.com. Although there are much less expensive solutions, like the Eagle Sliding Transfer Bench, if the funds are available, the NuProdx Multichair offers advanced, well thought out solutions, in a lightweight product of the highest quality. Of the dozens we have sold at The Medical Club, we have experienced no warranty issues, nor have we had any chair returned because it did not do what it was advertised to do. Each NuProdx Multichair comes with a 30 day money back guarantee (less a 20% restocking fee, so make sure it’s what you want) and a one year full replacement warranty on any failed part. I hope your search for the proper bath safety equipment is fruitful and that you find the right product that provides quality service for your family, yourself or the person you are caring for. As always, if we can be of assistance in any way, from answering the simplest question to pointing you toward a good solution, please give us a call at The Medical Club at 800-450-1513 God bless.
