WAYNE, N.J. (Nov. 25, 2013)—The fear of falling makes many seniors reluctant to perform some daily living activities. “This,” Kathleen Hanek, director of product management for Maddak Inc., manufacturer of Ableware Aids for Daily Living, states, “is especially true when it comes to showering, and can compromise a person’s ability to live independently.” The new Ableware Adjustable Corner Shower Seat is a solution for overcoming this fear, providing a safe, stable seat while showering.
Conveniently sized to fit into corners and small spaces, the Adjustable Corner Shower Seat increases shower safety and helps to boost confidence and independence. When sitting with the legs astride one of the corners, the user has easier access to the feet. This is especially useful for diabetics who need to monitor their feet. In addition to the senior population, Hanek tells us, “the Adjustable Corner Shower Seat is ideal for anyone who has a lower extremity injury or a disability that prevents weight bearing on the legs”.
The Ableware Adjustable Corner Shower Seat is height adjustable from 16 to 23 inches and, according to Hanek, “features Maddak’s exclusive quick-change leg design that makes adjusting the height simple. The legs can be easily adjusted in .25-inch increments and have non-slip rubber tips that hold the bench securely in place.” The legs are removable for easy transport and storage. The Adjustable Corner Shower Seat has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. For additional product information, visit maddak.com.
