We have many posts on the forum with solutions for showering or bathing.
My PALS husband can no longer stand or walk. I learned about the Shower Buddy Tub Buddy since we dont have a roll in shower. $4k. To purchase.
We may be able to get a used one from CCALS, so dont let the cost stop you...
Just learned from our ALS clinic that a shower wheel chair is not covered by Medicare.
My supplemental insurance only covers items that Medicare covers.
Rule says shower chair is a luxury item thus not covered.
Both Medicaid and many private insurance companies cover the shower chair...
So frustrating....
We are looking to enlarge our shower opening to 32" and remove the 6" threshold.
The guy that build the shower came by tonight. Unless we completely start over and jack hammer the foundation, we can not remove the threshold. The shower floor is higher than the bathroom...
For showers that are not roll-in (have a threshold). Track, chair, neckrest, bucket, gel overlay. Can be used for PALS of all heights and weights (adjustable). Now asking $300, <one-tenth of retail value.
