Equipping a bathroom with tools that are suitable for persons with disabilities is relatively easy and should not be too expensive, especially if you accommodate users with moderate disabilities. Of course, some disabilities require extensive planning and the provision of specially designed equipment that is adapted to specific physical conditions.

But in general, many people can be accommodated with equipment for persons with disabilities at a reasonable price. If you are planning to make your bathroom more comfortable for people with disabilities without needing to remodel it, here are five of the best bathroom tools for people with disabilities.

1) Sliding Shower Bar and Handheld Shower Head – For people with disabilities, this two-part shower can change a world where bathing is so easy. The push bar allows the showerhead to move up and down at the correct height for easy use. With an additional hand shower, users can remove the showerhead and use it comfortably by hand to make access easier. Handicap or stand, these two shower accessories are great additions to a bathroom accessible to people with disabilities.

2) Shower Chair – Another essential shower accessory is one of the many shower chairs made especially for people with disabilities. Depending on the mobility of a person, you can mount a permanent folding chair on the wall or add a portable chair with a back and arms. They are often adjustable and can be removed when not in use.

3) Bathtub Lift – This accessory is ideal if you have a traditional bathtub and users want to enjoy a relaxing bathtub. The elevator is installed at the top of the bathing area and allows the user to get off or sit in a wheelchair before descending into the water. After washing, the disabled user is removed from the water. These accessories are perfect for both users and caregivers as they facilitate the physical support that other people sometimes need and provide a safer bathing experience.

4) Toiletries – There are many types of toiletries for people with disabilities and it is usually necessary to provide one that meets the specific needs of the user. The most popular is the elevated toilet design, which allows the user to easily sit on a higher chair and then lift it himself.

5) Separation Safety Grill – As many disabled and elderly people fall every year, proper safety grating is required for bathrooms, showers, vanities, toilets, and walls. There are portable bars and permanent louvers that can be installed in any bathroom. They are an absolute necessity in most bathrooms and are even useful in bathrooms that are normally inaccessible for persons with disabilities.
