Living made easy offers equipment information to help you shower, wash and bath safely.
Buy bathing and showering aids from high street stores, online or catalogues. Useful items include:
non-slip mats
bath seats
grab rails
long handled scrubbers
shower and bath stools
Stay safe and independent at home by changing how you do things. For example:
showers are usually safer than baths
use non-slip mats on the bathroom floor and in the bath
run the bath and check the temperature before getting in
make sure that everything you need is close at hand
remove the plug and let the water drain before you get out of the bath
make sure you have good lighting
If you are very worried, think about keeping the bathroom door unlocked and only having a bath when someone else is in the house.
If you want more advice or you feel that you need more support, contact Adult Social Care which can assess your situation and discuss with you the type of support you need.
