Adapt your bath with the Mangar inflatable bath lift and bathing cushion
Perfect for those who find it difficult to get into and out of the tub, this Mangar bathtub lift inflatable and cushion are easy methods to modify to a straight bath that allows for ease of access and exit.
When the time is right to leave, the backrest can be reinflated, bringing the bather to the level of the bath's edge which means no climbing is required, thereby decreasing the chance of falling or slipping.
Fit a grab rail
A grab rail can offer additional security for older relatives with mobility issues. They can also be crucial for those suffering from specific disabilities.
It could be a straightforward installation of an extra rail on the wall next to your bathroom to assist in getting out and in or even close to the shower. But, to get people to your toilets, it might require a bigger access rail to your home guests.
