Steel Grab Rail

£15.81£18.13

Grab rails are a simple but effective solution for reducing the likelihood of falls in and around the home, particularly in the bathroom.

This Steel Grab Rail is very strong and suitable for indoor and outdoor use, though we don’t recommend it for very wet areas such as over the bath or in a shower, we recommend our ABS Fluted Grab Rails for these locations.

As with our other toilet and bathroom products the Steel Grab Rails are available in blue and red.

Description

Steel Grab Rail

Dementia and bathroom accidents can be minimalised. We take finding the toilet for granted yet we’ve all experienced the stress and anxiety of needing the toilet and not being able to locate one. However, when dementia is involved, the frustrations are multiplied many times over. Raised levels of agitation, anxiety, stress and depression all add to the problem.

The reason some people with dementia can experience difficulties using the toilet, in some cases, is because of a medical condition such as a urinary tract infection. Constipation, caused by a poor diet or dehydration and side effects from certain medication are also a few possible causes. In other situations, it could be that they are not able to find, recognise, or use the toilet.

Find’s toilet strategy is all about using highly visible, high contrast colour to establish a clear route to the toilet, and once there, to use the same principles to ‘decipher’ that environment by making the important things like steel grab rail and the toilet itself, easier to see. This boosts confidence and independence as well as helping to maintain or restore dignity.

By implementing a few changes, you will not only help enable a person with dementia to carry out their daily living activities without distress, embarrassment or a reluctance to use the bathroom, but you will also reduce healthcare-related costs, which include money spent on additional laundry and incontinence products and the additional staff time required to help a person use the bathroom.
