We recently had a ramp put in his mobile home since he is unable to walk. It was done by Saws ramps which all done by donations and funding. He cannot walk and uses a wheelchair. I need to find out if you can help me if there is any organization that can take his tub out and only have a shower. He is unable to get in the tub. My son is 49, he just had his fifth surgery on his leg. Thank you for any help you can give me. He lives in Yuma, Az
I would not recommend temporary fixes such as suction grab bars, as they are neither reliable nor safe.
We are a forum of Caregivers exchanging information from all over the Country. Your County should have a Disabilities dept where he may get help. There are tub bars too. The fit over the side of the tub. There are suction ones you can get for inside the shower. Should have a shower chair and a hand held shower head. For my friend I was able to find suction cup soap and cup holders to put on the wall at her level while sitting down.
Medicare pays for some of these things so does Medicaid and some insurance plans.
