You’ve been asking for it, and the day is finally here! We’re so excited to announce that NOVA is now offering the Swivel Bath Seat and Swivel Transfer Bench.
Both of these items have one purpose: empowering people with limited mobility to enjoy a bath or shower in a safe and comfortable fashion!
Why Did We Offer These Swivel Bath Seats?
Falls are the leading cause of injury in adults 65 years and older. While falls can occur anywhere inside and outside the home, the bathroom is one of the most hazardous areas. People who have limited mobility may have difficulty stepping into and out of a tub, or they can slip and fall while they’re bathing.
Bath chairs and transfer benches make bathing so much easier and more comfortable, but now, with a swivel – the experience is even better.
In some types of showers / tubs, the bath seat can become a challenge in and of itself when it requires more assistance with the transition to the bath seat.
The swivel function is a small but spectacular improvement! Now, it’s so much easier for people to get in and out of the seat, which makes bathing safer and easier.
Is the Swivel Safe?
You might be wondering: is it safe to use a bath seat that can rotate?
Absolutely! Our Swivel Bath Seat and Swivel Transfer Bench use a simple lever mechanism: pull the lever to swivel the seat, and release the lever to lock the seat in position.
You won’t have to worry about the seat moving while you’re sitting down or standing up as it is locked in place. You can trust that these swiveling seats are just as efficient and durable as the rest of our NOVA products!
Can You Accessorize the Bath Seats?
Of course! NOVA believes that mobility aid accessories are key to reducing stigmas and making the products more functional and enjoyable.
NOVA offers bath seat accessories, such as a shampoo/soap basket, that can be used with either the swivel or traditional bath seats.
We also offer a variety of accessories that make bathing easier for people with limited mobility.
And, bonus here… we INCLUDE a hand held shower clip with our Swivel Bath Chair and Transfer Bench That way, you’ll always have a built in holder for the must-have 84” long hand held shower (note that most standard hand held showers are only 60” – too short for use while seated).
