Bathroom Safety for Older Adults
Equip showers and surrounding walls with sturdy grab bars anchored to wall studs so they can support the full weight of an adult. Some portable safety handles use super strong suction cups and are easy to apply and remove. A shower chair is also a safe solution that can be easily placed where balance is a challenge.
Watch the video below to get an idea how to make your bathroom safe.

When it comes to home medical equipment and supplies for your older adult, there are a few different ways to find what they need.
Getting medical supplies could be fast and efficient, like when receiving oxygen, IV, or NG tube supplies.
For other items like a wheelchair, hospital bed, bedside commode, or other types of durable medical equipment, you may end up waiting weeks or even months. It will depend on the local medical equipment companies that Medicare requires you to work with in order for the item to be covered.
Here at Home Medical Equipment we work closely with Medicare and all insurances to help and provide you with your home medical equipment needs.
Stop by our showroom in Decatur for all of your Home Medical Equipment needs.

Did you know?
In 1783, John Dawson of Bath, England invented a wheelchair and named it after his town. The Bath wheelchair had two large wheels in the back and one small one in the front. The user would steer the chair by a stiff handle, but all the Bath designs had to be pushed or pulled by a donkey or horse, as they were heavy.
