Bath, Shower and Toilet

We unicare about your experience with us today
Bath and shower aids are pieces of equipment that make bathing and showering simpler and safer. They support your independence and mobility in the bathroom while keeping you steady on your feet, reducing your risk of falls.
Toilet aids assist with your mobility and stability when you go to the toilet, reducing the need for caregiver assistance. With toilet aids like raised toilet seats and over toilet frames, you have more support in the bathroom to prevent against strain and injury, keeping you safe and independent.
Bathroom aids are useful at home or in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities to assist people with mobility limitations. These aids are particularly useful for people with reduced mobility or strength from conditions like arthritis or joint pain, as well as balance or coordination issues that increase fall risk, neurological conditions like dementia, incontinence, and more.
Bath, shower, and toilet aids are also beneficial in assisted living facilities and nursing homes where staff must assist many residents, who may be elderly or living with disabilities, with bathing and toileting. They improve safety and make providing hygiene care easier for staff.
At Unicare Health, we offer a range of assistive technology to support your bath and shower needs. For example:
- A bath board allows someone to sit while showering or bathing, taking pressure off the legs and feet. The board provides a stable seated surface and allows the user to slide along the tub for positioning. This makes showering and bathing less tiring for those who have trouble standing for long periods due to age, injury, or medical conditions.
- Grab bars and rails provide secure handholds and support that help to stabilise balance for those with limited mobility or strength. Having something sturdy to grab onto helps prevent slips and falls that can occur when getting in and out of the tub/shower, lowering onto or rising from the toilet, or moving around the bathroom.
- A shower chair is a hygienic seat for those who cannot stand for long periods in the shower, reducing fatigue and strain. Shower chairs reduce the need for caregiver assistance and provide comfort, stability, and fall prevention for individuals with balance issues.
- A bath lift is an automated chair that lifts and lowers users into and out of the bath. Some models work using inflatable cushions that are controlled with an air pump, while other models use a battery-operated handset.
- A raised toilet seat makes sitting and standing from the toiler easier by increasing the seat height and providing stabilising grab bars.
- Toilet safety frames and toilet surrounds are stable surfaces for you to hold onto, so that it's easier to lift and lower yourself from the toilet seat. This is especially helpful for people who experience reduced flexibility, stability, or strength in their lower limbs.

A bath seat is designed for sitting in a bathtub and aids with bathing, while a shower seat is designed for use in a shower and allows you to shower while seated. Bath seats often have backs for more support and armrests that make it easier for you to lower yourself down into the tub, while shower seats are typically smaller and don’t have backs or armrests.
