What you'll find
Grab Bars
Wall-mounted bars that provide support in the shower, near the toilet, or anywhere you need a secure handhold. Available in a range of sizes, finishes, and weight capacities.
Shower Chairs & Benches
Allow you to sit while bathing, reducing the risk of slipping or losing balance. Transfer benches extend over the tub edge and are helpful if stepping over a tub wall is difficult.
Raised Toilet Seats
Increase toilet height by several inches, making it easier to sit down and stand up—especially useful after surgery or for anyone with limited mobility.
Non-Slip Mats & Treads
Adhesive strips and bath mats for the floor of the tub, shower, or bathroom. A simple and low-cost way to add traction on wet surfaces.
Handheld Showerheads
Detachable showerheads that allow you to direct water while seated or with limited range of motion.
Commodes
Portable toilet chairs for use when getting to the bathroom quickly or safely is a challenge. Covered by Medicare Part B in some cases when prescribed as medically necessary.
Common Questions
Support and stability for getting in, out, and around the bathroom safely. Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, and the bathroom is one of the highest-risk rooms in the home. The right equipment can make a significant difference—and many of these items are eligible under Medicare Advantage OTC benefit cards.
