Choosing and using grab rails Although primarily used in the bathroom and toilet, grab rails can be positioned anywhere in and around your home to provide support.
Conveniently placed rails will provide help in four main ways: - to push or pull against when standing up
- to provide a steadying support while sitting down
- to provide a firm grip when transferring from one position to another
- for balance when standing, walking or dressing.
Most are attached to the wall, although floor to ceiling rails are available. The type required will depend upon the situation and your hand or arm strength.
A combination of vertical and horizontal rails is often helpful.
Provision of rails If you decide to buy equipment and gadgets privately, it is best to try them out first.
You can try out equipment at Disabled Living Centres run by Assist UK. (assist-uk.org)
The DLF site bathingmadeeasy.com has comprehensive, impartial and trustworthy advice for older and disabled shoppers.
