Personal Care

Bathing and toileting are where many people lose privacy and energy first. The right shower or commode chair can make a routine safer and give some independence back. An occupational therapist is usually the best person to help match a chair to your body and your bathroom.

NuProdx rust-proof shower and commode chair for wet rooms, with adjustable height and easy maneuvering.

NuProdx Shower/Commode Chair

A rust-proof shower and commode chair made for wet rooms.

NuProdx chairs are built to roll into a shower and over a toilet, with adjustable height and materials that hold up to water.

Who it may help

People who cannot stand safely in the shower, or who want one chair for both bathing and toileting. It can also make life easier for a caregiver who helps with these routines.

Questions to ask your clinician

  • Will this chair fit my bathroom, including the doorway and the shower entry?
  • Can I transfer onto it safely on my own, or will I need help?
  • Does it support my trunk well enough, or do I need tilt?

Paying for it

Home equipment like this is sometimes covered when a doctor documents medical need, and sometimes it is a private purchase. Ask your clinician whether a covered option meets the same need before paying out of pocket.

Can I see one?

We keep one in our Equipment Library for in-person demos only. Use the form on that page if you want to schedule a demo.

RAZ Design Shower Commode Chairs

Modular shower commode chairs that can be set up for different bodies and bathrooms.

RAZ makes a family of shower commode chairs. Depending on the model, the seat can tilt, the back can be adjusted, and the armrests can be raised or lowered.

Who it may help

People who need more support while bathing, such as tilt to stay balanced, and people whose needs may change over time.

Questions to ask your clinician

  • Do I need a tilting seat, or will an upright chair work?
  • Which model fits my bathroom and how I transfer?
  • Can the chair be adjusted later if my needs change?

Paying for it

Home equipment like this is sometimes covered when a doctor documents medical need, and sometimes it is a private purchase. Ask your clinician whether a covered option meets the same need before paying out of pocket.
