Why we know this works!
Why we know this works!
We love this floor to ceiling pole because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see more falls at the couch and the bedside than anywhere a wall mounted bar could reach. Are tension mounted poles actually safe? Yes, when properly tightened between the floor and a ceiling of 10 feet or less: this pole supports up to 300 pounds with no drilling and no permanent changes, so it works for renters and can move as needs change. Placed at the bedside, next to the recliner, or near the toilet, it gives a firm vertical handle for sitting, standing, and turning.
It is especially important for people who struggle to rise from soft couches or low beds, including those with Parkinson's, knee arthritis, or weakness after an illness. Check the user's weight against the 300 pound limit, and if the support you need is along a wall by the tub or toilet, a stud mounted bar like the 24" Grab Bar is the sturdier choice.

"We LOVE the Stander Brand and exclusively use it for transfer poles. The handle being adjustable makes it very usable for multiple transitions for example off the toilet and in/out of the shower. Just be cautious as it can't be applied on a drop ceiling!
