Frequently Asked Questions About Raised Toilet Seat
What bathroom safety equipment do I need?
+
Essential bathroom safety items include grab bars near the toilet and shower, a raised toilet seat or toilet safety frame, non-slip bath mats, and a shower chair or transfer bench. The specific needs depend on mobility level and bathroom layout.
Are bathroom safety products covered by ADP?
+
Some bathroom safety items like bath lifts and certain commodes may be covered by ADP. Grab bars and basic safety items are generally not covered but are affordable investments in fall prevention. Ask Westin Healthcare about coverage for specific products.
What is the difference between a transfer bench and a shower chair?
+
A transfer bench spans the tub edge, allowing you to sit and slide into the tub without stepping over. A shower chair sits entirely inside the shower or tub. Transfer benches are better for those who cannot step over tub walls.
How should grab bars be installed?
+
Grab bars must be secured into wall studs or with appropriate wall anchors rated for the expected load. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper placement and secure mounting. Westin Healthcare can recommend installers in the GTA.
What grab bar length and style do I need?
+
Standard grab bars are 12, 18, 24, or 36 inches long. Horizontal bars help with sitting/standing, vertical bars assist with balance while walking, and angled bars serve both purposes. Location determines ideal length and orientation.
What is the ADP (Assistive Devices Program)?
