My 91 year old grandmother used the blue transfer bench. It was very safe for her and she loved it. We split the shower curtain and pinned it with clothes pins around the bench.

I spent last couple of hours reading reviews on tub transfer benches (not fun) so thanks so much for your video. You have saved me a lot of time ad frustration.

If you are strapped onto the chair, how do you reach the shower wand and controls?

Okay video although folks have a lot of questions still. There's another great video that solves the shower curtain & water issue.

You can install the chair closer to the controls... I think they had it moved back to make it easier to film the video. You do need to find just the right spot where they have room to pivot in and out but can still reach. Often there is going to be another person there to assist with the bathing, this just makes it easier and safer for both.

Thank you, great information 👍

Very specific thank you 🙏🏻 I like most the second one but I would like to know which one is covered by Medicare.

Very Good!!!

Can you use that in a walk-in shower like a shower chair ? Cause I am going to need a chair for walk-in shower the first week after shower & then I’m goin to go home & use that bench for my tub

There should be a cut out portion on the seat for cleaning the bottom

just a heads up, Amazon price in Canada for the blue one (Carousel transfer bench) is 1000$.

This video was very helpful. I am looking to purchase a swivel bath chair for my mother. I tried the link but it goes to a page that is no longer there. Can your repost the link or would I do just as good going on Amazon?

Nice!!!!!

What's better for a paraplegic?

Can these work in corner baths too ?

what about water from shower getting outside the tub???

Hello Noel, I am in a technical writing class at a Community College and I am curious if I can use screenshots from your video for a school project? I have an assignment on Usability where I make instructions about a task and analyze the usability of the instructions I create. I hope to become an Occupational Therapist in the future so I chose to make instructions for a shower bench. Rather than buying the product, I thought I could use images from the web. Your video is the clearest visual I can find so far. Would that be okay? Thank you for your time!

Any way to soak in the tub, get into bottom of tub and out of tub?

What about using the shower curtain ? Having water splash on to the bathroom floor is very undesirable?

On the last transfer see in blue, is there a way to take the safety belt off? My aunt has Alzheimer's and she won't take a shower or a bath unless someone's here. She's afraid she will fall and can't get anyone. It doesn't matter that we've told her 15 times that she can put her cordless phone right on the back of her toilet. She comes up with a crazy ex excuses why she can't do that. It's really bothering me because she won't bathe for months. She does wash everyday her feet and her important parts but she doesn't shampoo or hair very often. Whenever I'm there several days a week I try to say why don't you go take a shower while I'm here and she has an excuse it's too cold or I don't feel like it right now. I think that blue one would work great but I don't want her to think she has two safety belt herself in. She's already overly ridiculous about some things. She's only 71 and is strong, but sayings trembling innocent weakness when she's wanting to get her way. It's kind of like since her mind is going she feels like she's got to be so old that she can't do that. All she talks about to me is well it's not the Alzheimer's I am just so old. And every time she does I tell her she is younger than our president. He doesn't look mentally or physically incapable. I know she's becoming mentally incapable, but I hate to see her become physically incapable just because of her mind. Not every cases the same but my granny States fry and physical Way Beyond the time she completely lost everything to Alzheimer's.

Dede, my mom doesn't want to bathe either. One thing I've been doing lately is taking her to the movies, which she really enjoys. But I tell her she needs a bath before we go out, and most of the time she's all for it.

imagesfromLA does she have Alzheimer's or a form of dementia? My aunt seems to not want to bathe out of sheer Terror LOL she has a couple cheap irrational fears. I told her she can put her cordless phone right by the bathtub and she makes all kinds of excuses that make no sense and keep saying that she can't put her phone there. That's a great idea, I've got to find something she really likes to do and use that as an incentive. She doesn't like to go places but, I might tell her that all cook her some sort of meal while she showers and will eat ice cream in bed or something. By the way, I ordered a chair like the first one, the white one, yesterday on Amazon. That's hype had of vastly different price point from just over $100 to $48. I got the $48 one since the reviews were good and hers is not because she isn't capable of getting in the bathtub, she's just afraid that she's going to slip and fall. She is living in the home my grandfather built in the 40s and she took care of my grandmother after a renegade plaque got loose during carotid artery surgery and left her a little paralyzed in one side, but the worst side effect was aphasia. One night, my grandmother got up and fell and broke her hip. She didn't get to come home after that, and had to be in the nursing home. My Aunt Linda now sleeps in the bedroom where Mama Lou (What we call my grandmother) fell. I really think it's some deep-seeded phobia and misplaced guilt that's heightened as the dementia gets worse. Dang, I almost sounded smart LOL being the sole caregiver of someone with Alzheimer's, you have to take your laughs where you can find 'em! OH, and thank you for the reply and info! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother.

Dede, I just thought I'd tell you about something that has worked for me. I know you might not have thought about the little bath trick I've used with my mom. My mom is developing dementia. It sounds like hers is not as advanced as your aunt's, though it is slowly progressing. My mother comes up with similar excuses not to bathe as your aunt, but like I said before, I seem to have found that trigger that makes her forget about the excuses when we're going to the movies. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out something that will make your aunt want to bathe. I think what helps the most is that I take her out of the house at least once a day, usually to the market (though she waits for me in the car), and sometimes to the park where we go for a walk to keep her active. Good luck to you.

imagesfromLA thanks! It's hard to get her out, but I just don't let her come up with enough excuses. Sometimes I just take her out for a drive. We live in a small town and can be in nature in 5 minutes. So we just drive those curvy paved roads out by the lake. It's really fun in the fall when the leaves are all falling into the road. Makes you feel like you're in an epic movie, driving the roads in New England lol thanks again!

Hey Dede, did you get the transfer bench yet? How did it work out? I bought one, but it's not working out so good for me. My mom comes up with all kinds of excuses not to use it. I think she needs someone to be there helping her, but since I'm a man she doesn't want me in the bathroom with her. She can take regular baths, but I'm afraid she's really going to damage her spine getting in and out of the tub because her bones have become brittle from osteoporosis. She's also afraid to stand for a shower. Well, I guess she's just going to have to keep taking regular baths for now.

Split a shower curtain in 2 or 3 and tuck into the bench gap or tuck under your derriere. Unsplit also works.
