The two easiest things to do would be to install railings and mount a transfer seat. Do you have someone who can help you do that? Wishing you lots of health!
I found a couple of ideas to get you started: Grab bars can be installed in your shower to help with a transfer in the shower chair. You can find removable grab bars if you don’t want to install permanent ones, just make sure they are secure. • A non-slip mat for the floor of the shower can make showering standing up safer. • A flexible, hand held shower head can be an easy change to help make showering easier. • Using liquid soaps, shampoos, etc. with a pump head can be an easier way to maintain balance while in the shower. • If you have shower doors, you might want to remove the doors and use a shower curtain for a short period for ease in and out of the shower. Do not attempt to remove these yourself! • You can always adapt your bathroom to have a walk in shower, this is obviously a home modification and needs to be done by a professional. Even with a walk in shower, you may still want to have a shower chair option for safety.
Best of luck!
there is a company that will cut your tub down in the centre, I have seen them on TV lots of times advertising. I cant think of the name right now.
I am disabled. My husband put in a huge shower. Grab bars everywhere and a shower chair. It works for me.
Search the web. Accessibility has become very important .
Wishing you the best life has to offer!
There are companies that will change tub to shower. Also, some grants can be obtained to pay for it.
