Toilet Seat Riser with Arms / Toilet Riser with Handles

Many seniors are aware that the bathroom is the most common area of the house for falls to occur. Once a senior has suffered a fall, due to his weakened state, he is twice as likely to fall again in the future. However, though this is concerning for many, there are proactive measures one can take to reduce the probability of a fall. 

One of the smartest things one can do to prevent a fall from occurring in the bathroom is to install a toilet riser with arms. A toilet seat riser will make it so much easier to get onto and off of the toilet. However, it doesn’t offer support in getting on and off; it merely decreases the distance a person needs to bend in order to get onto the toilet.

Older people and those with disabilities can often have lower back pain, knee problems, and other muscle and joint issues such as arthritis or osteoporosis which make getting into a sitting position quite difficult. A toilet seat riser, placed on top of the toilet itself and under the seat, is very helpful for individuals with such conditions, since it makes it easier to get on the toilet, and at the same time, it allows the person to still keep the same seat on the toilet (atop the riser). 

But there’s a way to make getting on the toilet even easier than that: Using a portable toilet seat riser with arms. A toilet seat riser that has arms is even more supportive than a standard one; it helps the user balance himself as he gets onto the toilet, and makes it easier to get off the toilet.

It’s important to be aware that a toilet chair with handles can help with support, but only to a certain degree. If the user will be putting his full body weight on the handles, instead of installing a commode riser with handles, you may want to choose to put up grab bars around your toilet. If you do still prefer a riser, choose one that can be screwed onto the toilet, since that is the most secure option.

Prevent anxiety by being proactive and getting a handicap toilet seat with handles for your bathroom.
