This shower chair fits in a standard bathtub. It costs about $95 Canadian. I believe this is the one my sister and her husband settled upon getting for my mother's use. They were going to measure their bathtub to ensure it fits as we were told these kinds of products cannot be returned for hygienic reasons. At this store, there is a 20% seniors discount on Thursdays, and my mom doesn't have to be present, you just have to say it is for a senior. A hand shower faucet has also been recommended.

We use commodes all the time. One thing I will say is that they're really uncomfortable to use. In fact, you can't wait to get out of them.
Good idea, I hope it will help your Mom. Love the idea of a 20% senior discount, never get that here! Hugs, Valerie
Anything you can do to help your mom stay in her home is a good thing.
All good safety measures for the elderly that we love and care for.
Great thing to a senior, hope your Mom will be glad:)
My mother was to have one too but she is actually too large to fit in it and as it is too afraid to make the 1/2" step into the shower so it was never used!
I hope it will help. I'm glad they offer a senior discount.
David bought a tub stool similar to the one in your photo, but it has no back. It was for his post surgery showers.
I think they'll believe anyone about a senior discount when getting one of those
Hope your mother can use it. A friend of mine had a bench for her bathtub. She could sit on the edge of the bench, with her feet on the floor, and swing herself around, into the tub. She too had a hand-held shower head that worked just fine for showering and washing her hair. She used those devices for over 10 years before she died. I was able to donate the bench to a medical supply house that ships medical equipment to third world countries.
i had to use one after i had meningitis and had to kind of get help to walk again etc. They were so helpful! I ended up giving mine away to a local care home.
It sure looks and sounds like a useful item to have. In our shower it wouldn't work. Our's has a built in bench~
right you are Adam
Love the 20 percent.
