If you experience difficulty turning your taps on and/or off due to a weak or painful grip, you may wish to consider trying tap turners. These fit onto the top of your existing taps. Most are designed for a particular type of tap (e.g. for cross or bar head taps or for round heads). They are usually colour coded red or blue for hot and cold taps.Bath boards may sometimes also be called shower boards. Shower boards have greater width/depth than bath boards providing a greater area of support whilst sitting under a shower, whereas bath boards are narrower to provide more room if you wish to transfer down onto a bath seat. Bath boards can be used to sit on whilst showering. Bath boards may not fit baths with irregular shaped sides, corner tiling etc. If this is a problem then a wall-mounted bath board may be an option. A hoist is usually a strong metal frame which may be static (fixed) or mobile. The frame has a lifting mechanism operated manually or powered by electricity. From the frame, or lifting arm/boom, is suspended a sling (on a spreader bar) or a chair, to support and carry a person as they are moved from one place or position to another. Most seats have side flaps which drop down and rest on the rims on the bath to assist with getting on and off the seat. Some models have a swivelling seat or disc on the seat which helps the person to get on and off. Alternatively, a flexible transfer disc can be placed on top of the seat to provide a means of swivelling.

The user would sit on the seat from the outside of the bath and then rotate their body and legs over the side of the bath. The horizontal rail can be used in combination with a bath board. The user may benefit from holding the rail while they sit on the board, then turn and lift their legs in/out of the bath. Ensure that the wall is strong enough to take the weight of this type of rail. Care should be taken that you never bend down underneath the rail (e.g. to reach your feet) when sat in the bath as you could trap your head under the rail. The hoist usually lifts a rigid plastic bath chair with simple arm rests/bars which raise and lower each side. On some models the seat is detachable from the hoist and will fit onto a mobile chassis frame once out of the bath, allowing the person to be wheeled from the bathroom. The chassis may also be designed to allow the seat to be positioned over a toilet.

Or sometimes an inflatable bath cushion is used. This is more often when other people need to use the bath as it is easier to remove. This is pumped full of air to raise it using a compressor. Once sitting on it, the air is released with a hand control to lower you to the bottom of the bath. Once done, you press the button on the hand control to fill it with air again and raise you up.

An over bath shower is often not fitted by local authorities. The reason for this is that you would still need to access the bath to use the shower, and equipment can be provided for this rather than fitting a shower. However, an over bath shower is sometimes fitted. This could be because the bath is too short to take equipment and a person. Or the client is very tall, and could not fit into a standard bath with the equipment as well. Or if a person has severe epilepsy and is at risk of having a seizure in the bath, an over bath shower would be considered to reduce the risk of having a seizure in a bath full of water. Part of the rail can be fixed at an angle of 13 degrees upwards towards the head end of the bath to provide an inclined support. The seating unit has a plastic seat which is easy to clean and drainage holes sized for safety. The base frame has plastic ends and positioning screws to prevent movement. If these options are not possible, a bath lift is often trialled. This raises to the top of the bath where your sit on it and swing your legs over. You then press a button on the hand set and it lowers you down. When finished, you press the button to raise it up, swing your legs over the edge of the bath and stand up. The battery is completely safe in the water and is charged off the mains in another room with a charger that plugs into the wall much like a mobile phone charger. Floor-fixed bath hoists have a strong metal vertical column which usually slots into a base plate at the side or end of the bath. This has a seat or slings which pivot from the frame and can be raised or lowered. When raised it clears the bath rim and is lowered down into the bath.Important Note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb. Bath steps provide a step-like platform on the outside of the bath, lessening the height you need to lift your legs to get into the bath. The effort of you pushing down, the hydraulic piston and the water buoyancy is enough to raise you up to the rim of the bath. You would need arm strength and flexibility, plus good core stability and strength, to use a hydraulic bath.
