Tub transfer bench

As Steve’s legs became weaker, he had difficulty stepping into the bathtub to take a shower. This was further complicated by the nearly complete loss of his arm strength. After a couple of times catching his feet on the tub’s edge on the way in and out of the tub, we asked for suggestions at one of our ALS clinic visits. In response they ordered a tub transfer bench that was covered by our insurance.

Description

This bench allowed Steve to sit down and safely slide into the bathtub. We would continue to use the bench after our bathroom remodel. We now have a zero-entry shower. No bathtub. Steve used bench to sit on while Sheila washed him up. The bench was necessary during the time Steve was losing his leg strength.

The tub transfer bench is a medical device. It is not a piece of loaner equipment, but it should be covered by your insurance.
