Helping a Senior Get Up and Down
Does your elder's toilet sit inches away from the tub or shower, with no available wall to put a sturdy grab bar? Is he or she a little wobbly on getting in and out of bed, but certainly not ready for hospital type bed rails? Is it getting harder and harder for him to get out of his chair without something firm to grab?
The SuperPole may be your answer. This sturdy pole doesn't need a wall. It extends between the floor and the ceiling wherever you want to put it. Using a SuperPole often means that a senior won't be using flimsy towel racks or furniture for support when getting up and down. It can keep a senior independent, when without it you would have to be there with a steadying arm to prevent falls.
The SuperPole doesn't require holes in the walls, floors or ceilings or a professional installer - although your mother might appreciate a hand getting it in place. It's made quite a difference for several of my clients who need support in places where it was difficult or impossible to put grab bars.
Amazon has the SuperPole at a price quite a bit less expensive than most medical equipment retailers. Give it a look.
