Why we know this works!

We love this ShowerBuddy because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we sit with families who have just been quoted five figures to tear out a shower, and most of them do not need to. Do you have to remodel to make a curbed shower wheelchair accessible? Usually not: this system uses a rolling base, a bridge, and a shower base, so the chair rolls up, connects, and glides over the threshold of the shower you already have, for a fraction of the roughly 10,000 dollars a remodel can cost. It also works as a bedside commode and rolls like a wheelchair, so one device covers bathing and toileting. It is especially valuable for people with significant mobility loss from stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury whose walk-in shower has a curb. It is caregiver-assisted, not for independent use, and it fits over only a limited number of toilets, so check the toilet clearance specs first; if your shower is curbless, the Roll-In Shower Chair is the simpler choice.
