No bath safety plan is complete unless it considers the need for a beside commode.  For the weak and infirm, a portable commode offers dignity in toileting with conservation of energy.  Check out these Bedside commodes at bathsafetyfirst.com

The Adjustable Height Bathtub Grab Bar Safety Rail is a good choice for anyone able to maintain a reasonable grip, and use upper body strength to support themselves during bathtub entry and exit.

It offers firm support based on the side of the tub itself.  Can support up to 300 lbs.

Conveniently placed grab bars in the tub and toilet area are essential tools in maintaining bathing safety among the weak or infirm.  LifeSolutionsPlus is now offering a wide variety of grab bars at its new bathsafetyfirst.com site. You can find them at https://www.bathsafetyfirst.com/bathroom-grab-bars-c-96.html

Recently we updated the new Bath Safety First website to use different store software.

Initially, we used a new software package called Abantecart.  This turned out to be inconvenient to use and maintain, and not as security minded as we demand our software to be.  So, we rebuilt the site using a different application.

The main page remains at http://www.bathsafetyfirst.com

I found a site called Body Image 360, which offers assistance with bringing weight issues including eating disorders under control and achieving a healthy body image.

One of the biggest problems encountered with medication is successfully administering them on a regular basis.  Simply put - if you forget to take the pill, it doesn't work.

We're happy to announce that Life Solutions Plus now has a 2nd website - just for bath safety.  You can find it at http://www.bathsafetyfirst.com

Making a sick patient comfortable is very important.  When my sister was in the hospital getting her gall bladder, we went to a lot of trouble to make her comfortable.  We got her a very expensive body pillow and some egyptian cotton sheets.  I don't know if it helps from a healing angle, but she seems much more comfortable with such comforts. Her facebook statuses have been much happier lately.

As I say, I tried a lot of fixes with this problem.  I had some success with fresh fruit, pre-prepared meals, colloids, and vitamins.  Exercise can work as well, if you find the right kind of approach, or the right kind of client.  I loved exercising, but some of my clients saw it as just another sort of job, just like the facebook statuses...

We actually had a huge problem with frustration at my center last year.  A client was really uncomfortable getting into the wheelchair accessible vehicles, so he would move around a lot during the process.  Instead of talking to him, the staff would just try to hurry the process along.  Of course this caused an accident. Lots of upset facebook statuses
