Making bathing easier
Do you use any medical equipment to help make bathing easier such as a chair or stool? If so, where did you purchase it and how much did it cost? Do you have a detachable shower head to help you or your caregiver rinse you off?
My whole life I’ve hated showers. I don’t like having the water in my face the whole time. These days, I need more help to bath and our shower is quite small. Our bathtub is the more convenient option for my parents.
I have seen advertisements for walk-in bathtubs but my concern is that a person’s body temperature would drop while waiting for the water to drain so that they could then exit the tub. What are your thoughts on walk-in bathtubs?
Role in showers, although very accessible, are costly seeing as though the entire bathroom has to be remodeled.

A few years ago we had the bathroom renovated to be wheelchair accessible. We have a roll in shower and a shower bench. Through experimentation I have refined the process and at this point seems to work well. Although I know that I will need help in the future.
