A Showerhead with an Ergonomic Handle and Safety Strap Helps Caregivers & Arthritic Seniors
INSIDER TIP:
Make bathing safer and easier for seniors with a shower attachment designed to be easily held by those with arthritis or caregivers assisting in bathing.
 Moen's HomeCare shower lets you detach your showerhead from the wall and re-position it to exactly where you need it—into the hands of a caregiver or senior. The durable, hand-held shower delivers a bevy of features to help limited mobility seniors and caregivers make bathing comfortable with or without assistance:
- An ergonomic handle and safety strap require less grip strength than a traditional handheld shower and are excellent for those who are mobile, but suffer from arthritis or limited strength.
- An extra long seven-foot hose adds range and flexibility, making it ideal for use with an in-shower bench or chair.
- The easy-to-press one button “pause control” feature limits water flow, allowing the shower to be quickly repositioned without mess or hassle.
- The over-sized setting-selection lever allows the user to easily choose one of three modes spray settings for maximum comfort.
The Moen HomeCare shower retails for $42.95 and comes in a chrome finish to match existing bathroom fixtures. It is covered by a lifetime guarantee. Caregivers take note that the Moen HomeCare shower works well in conjunction with the caregiver shower curtain.
Refresher: The Moen HomeCare shower upgrade makes personal hygiene easier and safer for seniors and caregivers at an affordable price.
