Research shows that 80% of falls at home occur in the bathroom. The combination of confined space and wet areas creates a dangerous environment for slips and falls to occur. The risk of injury increases as we age and can be due to decreased mobility and other health issues.


Bathing or showering for many is about maintaining personal hygiene and for others, it is a form of relaxation or recovery. But for those with decreased mobility and health issues, it presents a rather dangerous task with an increased risk of a slip or fall and is no longer a pleasant experience.


Shower commodes minimise the risk of injury by offering a safe transiting and comfortable place to sit, providing the assistance you need to shower safely and confidently.



What is a Shower Commode?

The shower commode chair is an open or closed seat on wheels that can be used in the shower and positioned over a toilet for optimal safety and convenience. At Crescent Healthcare, we offer the most configurable range of shower commodes and accessories on the market, supporting you to support others. 


The seats of our shower commodes are ergonomically designed with padded seats for maximum comfort and support in a variety of positions whilst being made of hygienic materials for ease of cleaning.


The benefits of a Shower Commode 

The main benefit of the Shower Commode is the decreased risk of accidents and injuries caused in the bathroom, particularly slips or falls and having the aid of a shower commode provides a measure of safety. The strategically positioned armrest makes lowering oneself down when completing a standing transfer provides stability and support while seated.


We take care of ourselves every day by showering and going to the restroom. It can have a significant influence on our quality of life if we are unable to accomplish these activities without assistance. Self-propelled commodes offer additional independence and help users maintain their dignity whilst lowering the risk of injury during those important bathroom tasks. 


Using your Shower Commode 

Before implementing your commode chair into your routine, we recommend you consult an occupational therapist to learn how to do so safely and comfortably. Here are a few things we recommend doing in preparation for using your new aid. 


If you're using a shower commode, become familiar with the many operational features, such as how to work the brakes and lock the castors.


Practice makes perfect! Grab a loved one or a carer and safely practise transferring on and off or using the commode until you feel confident.
