How Bath Boards Support Independent Living
- Improved Safety: Bath boards offer a solid platform for sitting and transferring in and out of the bath. They reduce the risk of slipping or losing balance, which is crucial for those with mobility issues or balance concerns.
- Easy Installation: Our bath boards are designed to fit most standard baths and can be quickly installed without the need for professional help. This convenience allows for immediate use, enhancing your independence in the bathroom.
- Sturdy Support: Made from durable, slip-resistant materials, our bath boards provide reliable support. Many models feature adjustable width settings to ensure a secure fit across different bath sizes.
- Enhanced Comfort: The smooth, contoured surface of our bath boards makes sitting and sliding more comfortable, reducing strain and effort when using the bath.
- Versatile Use: Beyond entry and exit support, bath boards can also be used as a convenient place to rest toiletries or bathing accessories within easy reach.
How Safe Are Bath Boards?
Bath boards are generally very safe when used correctly. They are designed with non-slip surfaces and secure fittings to prevent movement and provide stable support. However, it is essential to ensure that the bath board is properly installed and adjusted to fit your bath securely to maximise safety.
Can You Sit on a Bath Board?
Yes, you can sit on a bath board. They are designed to support the weight of an adult while sitting, providing a stable and secure surface. The board’s slip-resistant features and sturdy construction help ensure safety during use.
How to Use a Bath Board for the Elderly
- Installation: Position the bath board across the width of the bath, ensuring it is securely supported on both sides. Adjust the fittings if necessary to ensure a snug, stable fit.
- Entry and Exit: To use the board, sit down slowly, making sure the board is stable. Use the board to help lift your legs over the side of the bath and slide into position. For exiting, use the board to help you stand up and carefully lift your legs over the edge.
- Safety Checks: Regularly check that the board remains securely in place and that the surface remains clean and free of soap or water, which could make it slippery.
Our bath boards at Better Independent Living are designed to enhance your comfort and independence, providing a practical solution for safer and easier bath use.
