Every person who reaches old age needs someone to take care of him or her. This need to be taken care of arises because of physical and medical conditions associated with aging - impaired vision, limited dexterity, weakened muscles, stroke, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and many more. These conditions increase their chances of falling or hurting themselves, resulting in severe injury or worse.
Depending on the situation, the elderly moves to a retirement community or with a loved one. This is a great adjustment for both you and the retiree. For you, it means disrupting your way of living; for the seniors, it means adjusting to your system. For the more sensitive ones, they feel that moving with you or being taken cared of by someone means they are a burden on their caretakers.
Adjustable Bed Frame
Fortunately, independent living products are becoming popular in every home these days. Manufacturers of these products have developed mobility aids that can be both beneficial to the elderly and their caretakers. These products allow the elderly to handle everyday living without the help of others; thus making you feel less burdened and less worried.
Commode chairs are one of these products that ensure safety in the home and prevent fall especially in the bathroom. Since bathroom is one of the most dangerous places for the senior citizens, using portable folding chair like this allows the elderly to maintain an independent and safe lifestyle. This chair is designed to look less clinical and does not require permanent installation.
A typical bariatric commode comes with plastic armrests and rests on a strong durable steel frame with an adjustable seat. The seat of the bariatric commode is wider than normal and comes with a back.
Aside from using it in the bathroom, commode chair may also be used as toilet safety frames or placed by the bedside of the patient. The frames are sturdy enough to hold the patient's body. For an added comfort, the chair is covered with a cushion that easily molds itself into the shape of the person sitting on it. Some commodes also have adjustable arms for more space, or removable backs for easier storage and transportation.
Commode chairs have frames made of rustproof materials. Some models feature a snap-on design for easier installation and un-installation.
If you are thinking of purchasing one, consider the chair's weight capacity, wheels and breaks, foldability, multiple functionality, and pads. Standard commode chair models can carry a person weighing up to 250 pounds. If your patient is heavier, you may opt for heavy duty models that can carry up to 450 pounds and with larger seats than the regular models. These chairs come with arms, and are available in padded versions with soft arms and seats, or molded versions for easy cleaning and drying.
If mobility is a serious problem of the elder, you may opt to buy the model with wheels and brakes similar to a wheelchair. It is versatile and easy-to-use, with a scissor-style mechanism that folds vertically.
Based on the features of commode chairs, these independent living products give peace of mind to you and your elders. They provide physical safety to its users, while allowing you to continue living your lifestyle, the way it used to be.
