Bathing for Older People - Part X
Recommendations for Existing Bathrooms:
Transfer Bench
Install transfer bench for making easy transfers. These benches generally remain partly inside and partly outside the tub. Persons would sit on the part outside the tub and gradually slide his/her body inside the tub. Transfer benches are available in various sizes and seat types. Some are height adjustable and come with or without a backrest. Benches with rubberized legs ensure safe positioning inside the tub.
Grab Bars
Mount grab bars in the critical support areas. They can greatly assist in easy and safe transferring in and out of the tub. Grab bars come in various designs: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, hockey stick like, combination, wrap-around, swing away or detachable. Grab bars can be wall, floor, ceiling or tub mounted. Ridged, brushed, knurled or vinyl coated grab bars provide better grasp. Because people's physical capabilities and method of transfer vary significantly, their placement must accommodate unique requirements of users. In addition to following codes, the positioning of grab bars must be carefully tested under actual operating conditions.
Recommendations for New Bathing Equipment:
• Eliminate the need for making transfers in and out of the tub and the hazards caused by the activity •use mechanical devices such as bath lifts before offering human assistance
•Provide a build-in transfer device for those who need it
•Explore alternative, non-threatening soaking possibilities that are comfortable and less demanding •locate grab bars at strategic points capable of facilitating transfers
•allow personalization of grab bars to meet unique needs of individuals Walk-in bathtubs
Roll-in Showers
3. Prevent Slipping Inside and Outside the Tub
Slipping inside the tub happens due to the smooth condition of the wet tub surface. When getting out, slipping is caused by the smooth, wet floor surface. Lack of handrails further contributes to the problem.
Recommendations for Existing Bathrooms:
•Non-Slip Tub Floor
Non-slip tub floors can greatly add to the security of the bathers and care-providers. Install bathmats, tub patches or non-skid surface in the tub. Bathmats are rubberized floor coverings and they fit inside the tub. They are placed temporarily and can be removed for cleaning and/or repositioning. Unless they have suction cup-like backing, many bathmats tend to get loose and slip. Bath patches are small non-skid pieces. They are inexpensive and need to be permanently glued to the tub surface. Non-skid tub surfaces are integral part of the tub floors and they cover the entire floor surface. •Non-Skid Bathroom Floor.
Carpet the bathroom floor or place a thick variety of throw rug outside the tub. Even though carpeting is more effective than throw rugs, it is generally harder to maintain. Thicker throw rugs are more slip resistant than thinner ones. The floor underneath the rug must be dry and free of unwanted objects. When stepping on the rug, individuals must not rely solely rely their balance. They must use handrails to support and distribute their body weight.
•Grab Bars
Install grab bars inside and outside the tub. Because slip prevention depends greatly on the quality of the support, it is important that attention is paid to the selection of the grab bars and their placement is carefully studied under actual conditions of use.
Recommendations for New Bathing Equipment:
•incorporate permanent, non-skid tub floor surfaces into the design of bathtub
•extend same non-skid floor outside the tub
•install widespread distribution of grab bars in the form of handrails
•provide "invisible support" that offers assistance when needed
•strengthen soap holders or towel rods so that they can act as invisible supports

Where can I find a hotel near Broadway theater in NYC that is under $130/night and near a subway stop? Thanks.
No hostels, please. I would like to have a private room with private bath. Also, the area must be safe and near a subway station...two to three blocks away max. The subway ride can be as much as 15 to 20 minutes away, but hopefully without too many transfers. I know this is a complicated request...but I still think it is realistic. Thank you very much for your input.
um, i'm sorry but in NYC the safe hotels are EXPENSIVE!

TubBuddy Bathing Transfer System with Tilt $3226 Features of the TubBuddy Bathing Transfer System: The TubBuddy Tilt is an ergonomic bathing transfer system which carries one special feature the original TubBuddy does not. The unit allows for safe and easy transfer over and out of the bath tub incorporating a tilt option. The tilt option allows the caregiver to relieve pressure for the patient while simultaneously making it easier to bathe the patient. The tilt option alleviates caregiver strain by allowing the patient to slide over the bath tub without having to lift their legs. Bath time can be a struggle and a danger for wheelchair-bound individuals and their caregivers, particularly when using a bathtub as opposed to a shower stall. Transferring the patient in and out of the tub, attempting to move an individual who lacks upper body control, and repositioning the patient to wash all body parts put both parties at risk. Even bath chairs equipped with slider transfer systems require lifting the patient’s legs over the tub, presenting additional hazards. The TubBuddy, a new bath chair transfer system, solves these problems with a patent-pending, industry-first hydraulic tilting mechanism that enables the chair to lean back and lock at a 10, 20 or 30-degree incline with the press of a lever. This unique tilting capability reduces the risk of having the patient fall out of the chair during either the transfer or bathing process, and it allows the patient’s legs to easily clear the side of the tub without the strain and potential mishaps associated with physically lifting them. The ability to recline the chair also provides trunk and head support, relieves pressure points, offers easier access to the buttocks and other intimate areas, and makes bath time a more comfortable experience overall. The TubBuddy also features a built-in commode for bedside use; a roll-over commode capability for standard toileting; a tub base unit with a bearingless track that requires no oiling or maintenance; and the first transfer bridge that can be resized to accommodate odd-sized bathtubs or unusual bathroom layouts. The bridge is removable, allowing patients with sufficient mobility to bathe independently behind a shower door or curtain. In addition, the TubBuddy is the first system of its kind made of 95% high grade aluminum and 5% stainless steel for greater strength, better rust resistance and longer life. In fact the TubBuddy will not rust, corrode, bend, or break. It can handle patients up to 440 pounds, includes locking casters as well as flip-up armrests and adjustable footrests, and is latex- and silicone-free.Products Specifications: Rolling Base: 20"W x 35"D. Rolling Base with Footrest: 20"W x 46"D. Back Width: 18". Back Height: 19". Floor to Seat Height: 26". Floor to Neck Rest Height: 50". Max Toilet Clearance: 17". Bridge Length (standard): 16".

TubBuddy Bathing Transfer System with No Tilt $2886 Features of the TubBuddy Bathing Transfer System: The TubBuddy is an ergonomic bathing transfer system designed to allow a patient to safely transfer over a bath tub without committing to any costly construction. This model is also capable of rolling over standard/elongated toilets to be used as a commode. The TubBuddy eliminates unnecessary transfers between toileting and bathing making it comfortable for both patient and caregiver meanwhile reducing costs and contributing to good patient hygiene. Bath time can be a struggle and a danger for wheelchair-bound individuals and their caregivers, particularly when using a bathtub as opposed to a shower stall.
