Bath Safety Equipment for Safer, More Comfortable Bathing

Wet, hard surfaces make the bathroom one of the places where slips happen, so the right equipment matters. Bath safety equipment is designed to add grip, support and stability, so getting in and out of the tub or shower feels more secure.

Dr. Franklyn's is a Brooklyn, New York family business with more than 25 years of experience in health, wellness, orthopedic support and rehabilitation products. Our goal is practical, dependable products, and every product page lists details and instructions.

Bathroom Safety for Elderly Adults: A Simple Checklist

Good bathroom safety for elderly adults usually starts with a few basics:

• Non-slip surfaces: inside the tub or shower and on the floor outside it

• Something to hold: sturdy grab bars installed by a professional, not towel rails

• A place to sit: a shower chair or tub bench for people who tire standing

• Raised toilet seat or safety frame: to make sitting and standing easier

• A handheld shower head: so you can bathe seated

• Good lighting and clear floors: with night lights and no loose rugs

Ask an occupational therapist or doctor to review your bathroom if balance is a concern.

Non-Slip Bath Mat

A non-slip bath mat adds grip where it matters most. Look for a mat with suction cups on the underside, a textured surface, drain holes, and a size that covers the tub or shower floor. Make sure the suction cups grip a clean, flat surface, and replace the mat when it wears out.

Bath Safety Products for Seniors

When choosing bath safety products for seniors, check the weight capacity, whether the item needs installation, and how easy it is to clean. Check that tub and shower dimensions suit the product.

At-Home Hydrotherapy: Portable Spa Jets and Bath Spa Mats

Dr. Franklyn's also offers hydrotherapy products for at-home relaxation and recovery in the tub. These products are designed for comfort and relaxation. They are not bath safety equipment, and they are not designed to prevent slips or falls.

• Hydrotherapy Spa Jets: a portable whirlpool jet spa bath system for the tub.

• Therapeutic Air Jet Whirlpool Bath Spa Mat: a spa mat with an inflatable pillow and a remote control.

Using Hydrotherapy Products Safely

• Always use a separate non-slip bath mat, and take care getting in and out of the tub
• Keep water at a comfortable temperature, and avoid very hot water
• Never use electrical products unless they are designed for bath use, and follow the instructions
• Ask a doctor first if you have heart conditions, diabetes, reduced sensation, skin problems, are pregnant or have an implanted device

Getting the Right Fit

Before ordering any bath product, measure your tub or shower floor, check the width of the tub rim, and compare with the size and installation notes on the product page. If you are not sure what suits you, call us before ordering.
