In an age of technological advances and breakthroughs, sometimes a simple idea turns out to have the greatest impact. For those that are disabled and the elderly, wall mounted shower stools can provide a level of independence at the most basic level.
Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, these stools can accommodate not only the disabled, but those who are recovering from an injury, and even those that just have a hard time getting around. Many models can be folded up shower stools and be placed out of the way of others and then used as a handicap shower. They also work for the bathtub environment as wall mounted handicapped bath chairs.
The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 requires equal access to facilities by those with disabilities. Hotels, nursing homes, assisted care facilities and hospitals are the types of places that must conform to the regulations. Shower compartment stools, l-shaped stools, wall mounted shower chairs and rectangular stools all have specific dimensions that must be adhered to. Most manufacturers are aware of these specifications of wall mounted shower seats for the handicapped. They were designed with the accessibility and comfort of the user in mind.
