At the core of Showerbuddy’s functions is the best-in-class shower chair system. Users are seated securely and comfortably and can enjoy bathing alone or with the assistance of a carer.
The process of transferring into a shower unit is fraught with difficulties for those living with injuries or reduced mobility. Learn how Showerbuddy solves this without a bathroom adaptation, allowing the user to once again enjoy a private shower in comfort and with dignity.
Showerbuddy helps mobility impaired users access their shower over the bathtub through our TubBuddy systems. Designed to slide the seated user over the bathtub, these solutions are ideal for any shower-over-bath configurations. No bathroom adaptation is required.
When showering over a bathtub the high edge might seem impossible to access for a wheelchair-bound or otherwise mobility impaired individual. But with TubBuddy systems, the edge of the bath is cleared in a matter of seconds with no strain. Just slide over to access the shower.
Showerbuddy’s solutions all provide elevated, comfortable toilet use as well - this means the user will never have to leave the chair throughout their entire bathroom routine, with less transfers and manual handling. This also provides more comfort for the user and a safer experience for the support person.
For those moments away from the bathroom, Showerbuddy systems all come with removable commode buckets and a variety of seat apertures to enable flexibility to suit the user and peace of mind. There is a range of comfort cushion accessories.
A bathroom mobility solution should be designed around you or your client’s specific requirements.
Showerbuddy offers a range of accessories that adjust the chair to suit.
This includes different cushions, backrests, neck support, bridge lengths and more.
