The bathroom may be one of the smallest rooms in the house — but for many seniors and individuals with limited mobility, it's also one of the most hazardous. At Okotoks HC Pharmacy, we believe that safety should never come at the expense of comfort or confidence. With the right equipment and a few thoughtful modifications, anyone can maintain independence and feel secure in their own space.
Here are some essential tips and products to help create a safer, more accessible bathroom for you or your loved ones.
🚽 Raised Toilet Seats: Comfort, Ease — and Better Hygiene
A raised toilet seat adds extra height to make sitting and standing easier, especially for those managing joint pain, limited mobility, or recovering from surgery. Some models also include built-in bidet features, offering a gentle, water-based cleansing option that can improve personal hygiene and comfort.
Bidet-style raised seats often come with adjustable water pressure and ergonomic handles, making them a great choice for those who want both accessibility and added cleanliness — all in one easy-to-use solution.
💡 These options support independence and dignity in the bathroom while offering a simple, non-electric installation.
🚿 Grab Bars and Toilet Safety Rails: Stability Where It Matters
Well-placed grab bars near the toilet and in the shower give users the extra support they need to move with confidence. These sturdy, weight-bearing bars are a simple way to reduce the risk of slips and falls.
Toilet safety rails offer another layer of support, especially when getting on or off the toilet. They attach securely and are easy to use without any permanent installation.
🪑 Commodes: Practical and Supportive
Commodes are a helpful option for those who need a safe, accessible solution close to the bed or as an alternative to a traditional bathroom setup. We offer both stationary and wheeled models — some of which can be placed directly over a toilet for extra versatility.
These options support mobility while giving users more comfort and flexibility in daily routines.
🛁 Bathtub Mats and Shower Chairs: Steady and Secure
Slippery surfaces are one of the top causes of bathroom injuries. A non-slip bathtub mat provides better traction, while a shower chair or bench offers a safe place to sit while bathing. These small changes make bathing feel safer and more relaxing — without the worry.
🛁 Bellavita Dive Bath Lift: Safe, Relaxing Bathing Made Easy
For individuals who love a warm bath but struggle with mobility, the Bellavita Dive Bath Lift offers a safe and comfortable solution. This lightweight, battery-powered lift gently lowers users into the tub and raises them back up with the touch of a button — no strain, no slips, and no worry.
Its slim profile and tool-free setup make it ideal for home use, and the reclining backrest adds extra comfort. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply want a safer bathing experience, the Bellavita makes it possible to enjoy the tub again.
