Why we know this works!

We love this because it creates accessibility in a place where you otherwise might require some construction. So instead of having to remove the current shower and put in a roll in shower you can instead purchase this device and set it up to work for the walk in shower you already have! Therefore, instead of spending $10,000 on a remodel, you get to spend a fraction of that and still get access - quickly. The flip up arm rests makes transfers easy whether standing or scooting into it and the abiliity to roll it away from the track means you can help someone transfer into the rolling shower chair wherever it's the safest to do!
