My husband has Parkinson’s and showering is a challenge. We have several grab bars installed, but recently added shower chair that has handles on the sides. We were able to obtain this at no charge from this from our local senior center. This organization has a room filled with helpful items that have been donated by others. The chair is more helpful than a tile seat or ledge because it can be moved to the optimum spot under the shower head.

When I broke my ankle I bought an adjustable height shower stool that worked well. Five years later, my 6 year old now uses it for her showers.
