Adapt Your Shower Curtain for Your Bath Bench

Whether you're using our sliding transfer benches or other shower benches on the market, we care a lot about your bathroom safety. When showering, water can easily splash onto the bathroom floor and create a dangerous and slippery situation. 

Fortunately, our friends at Adaptive Equipment Corner have a helpful video on how to adapt your shower curtain. With this helpful tip, we hope to lessen the odds of bathroom falls and enhance your overall bathroom safety.

Caring For Caregivers

Caring For Caregivers

According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, approximately 43.5 million caregivers have provided unpaid care to an adult or child in the last 12 months.

Of family caregivers who provide complex chronic care:
46% perform medical and nursing tasks; More than 96% provide help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as personal hygiene, dressing and undressing, bathing, getting in and out of bed. For more statistics visit here.

Proper bathroom safety equipment promotes safety and relieves stress, strain and aches for the caregiver. Whether you're in need of care or providing care for another, we are here to help.

If you have questions about which sliding transfer bench, swiveling shower chair or commode would be right for you, where to start, or possible remedies for existing benches - check out our FAQ section. It contains lots of helpful videos and tips. Such as:

"Do your sliding transfer benches face in one direction only? What is our warranty? Where can you buy our products? How do you clean transfer benches? How do you lengthen the bench or raise it higher?"

And if you are a caregiver, remember that you need to be cared for too. Proper self-care is important for mental, emotional and physical well-being. It will make all the difference for you and the one you care for, in the long run.

Video Feature Alert: How To Assemble

Did you know we have a whole array of "Assembly Videos" for our chairs and benches? If you go to our YouTube channel, you can find a How To Assemble video for the sliding transfer bench or chair you either purchased or are interested in purchasing. 

Eagle Health's transfer benches and shower chairs were made for tool-less assembly, meaning you DON'T NEED TOOLS to assemble a bench or chair. We don't want to leave you hanging either, so we have created videos to serve as a step-by-step visual guide to assembling our products.

We hope this will help reduce stress and work while ensuring a safer and smoother bathing/showering experience for patients, customers and caregivers!

Seniors Aging In Place

Seniors Aging In Place

According to a survey conducted by AARP in 2014, 87% of adults over the age of 65 want to age in place, and 80% believe their current residence is the place they will always live.
When it comes to aging in place, there are appropriate questions to ask. Is the home a safe place for a senior to live alone? Are family caregivers capable of providing adequate care? What obstacles are there to making the home livable and accessible for the long term?

With the right help and equipment, physical residences can be adapted to be both safe and accessible, making it possible for many seniors to age in the comfort of their own homes.
