Senior Housing and Assisted Living

You might wonder why someone would even want to buy something like a corner shower stool in the first place. Stools that are created specifically for use in bathroom showers can really help the user by giving aid, comfort and stability due to a number of reasons.

There are times when you want to relax in the hot water of the tub but can’t physically lower yourself in; the shower stool allows you to relax and soak while avoiding trying to lower yourself. Think about the times that you are sitting in the tub trying to shave your legs; this chore would be easier and simpler if you had a shower stool to sit on.

If you are caring for disabled, elderly or injured family members a shower stool can make the difference between them having some privacy in the shower and having to constantly have you in the bathroom with them. Shower stools also make showering safer for elderly family members who may be struggling with poor balance. If you have small children who like to horse around in the bathtub the shower stool can be useful for you to sit on while you are monitoring them.

Shower stools are technically medical equipment, but there are many styles available that are as stylish and attractive as they are functional.

Even smaller bathrooms can use shower stools without having to sacrifice too much space. The corner shower stool is designed to sit completely in the corner, taking up little space and staying out of the way for people who are showering but do not need the chair at that moment. One of the features that allows it to save space is that absence of a traditional back rest.

You may expect shower stools to be made out of plastic or aluminum, but they can also use attractive teak wood.

A shower stool designed using teak wood is extremely attractive and will compliment any bathroom. Teak is naturally resistant to water because it has its own natural oils. This naturally moist composition is what makes it such a good choice for outdoor furniture as well as shower stools. The yellowish brown color of teak will gradually fade with use to an attractive and stylish silver hue.

Another option for shower stools are plastic shower benches. Plastic shower benches have the added benefit of being lightweight and portable. Cleaning requires simply wiping them off occasionally.

Shower stools are also available in rectangular stools and attractive circular stools allowing you an even greater range of choices. Narrow bathtubs can benefit the most from round shower stools as they will fit into smaller areas. Larger bathrooms can accommodate rectangular benches and will be complimented by them.
