Make it
easier for your loved one to sit down and stand up from the toilet.
The Helping Hand Grab Bar attaches to the wall in front of
the toilet, offering a secure bar to hold onto while they lower
themselves down or pull themselves up.
Assisting a loved one sit or stand at the toilet is an awkward
and back-breaking experience. So, let the Helping Hand Grab
Bar do the heavy work.
The Helping Hand Grab
Bar mounts on the wall directly in front of the toilet. When
needed, it folds up, locks in place and extends almost a full
twelve inches out from the wall. In a typical 5' x 8' bathroom,
this is close enough to be reached by someone sitting on the
toilet. Standing or sitting can now be controlled by the person
with AD. Holding onto the bar, they can stand or sit as slow or as
fast as they want.
The Helping Hand Grab
Bar can withstand over 600 lbs of sustained weight directly on
the easy lift auto-locking extension
armature.
The Helping Hand Grab
Bar is ADA & ADAAG compliant and has passed NAHB testing
for ASTM F446-93 and is a DME Medicare registered
device.
What we like best about this
product:
So many
frightened, confused people panic when asked to sit down on a
toilet (behind them) that they cannot see. When gravity wins over,
it's not their back that suffers, it's the caregiver's. Yet
here is the answer. The Helping Hand Grab Bar allows the
person with AD full control, yet still gets the job done --
preserving dignity at the same time.
The
Helping Hand Grab Bar can be installed:
a)
directly attached to the studs in your wall. (Studs are typically
16" or 24" on center. Tap on your wall or use a stud finder to make
sure you order the right Helping Hand Grab Bar for your stud
spacing), or
b)
attached to a wood plate (which itself is attached securely to the
studs in your wall)(wood plate not included). Refer to the
picture.
Any
contractor or good handyman should be able to install the
Helping Hand Grab Bar.
