Caregivers Stay Dry While Assisting
A caregiver door for barrier free shower units can make a world of difference when caring for seniors and those with disabilities. Freedom Caregiver Shower Doors are a functional and attractive accessory for wheelchair accessible showers.
Freedom Shower Doors are designed for caregivers to more easily assist bathers while staying dry. The frosted panels offer privacy, and the 180 degree hinges on each panel allow the doors to swing in or out for maximum flexibility. A leading solution for assisted bathing, the handles lock each panel in place, but give way if a fall were to occur - preventing further injury.
Trackless shower doors can be installed in most alcove styled barrier free showers. Magnetic strips at the door joints and sealing gaskets at the bottom of each panel provide superior water retention. Constructed with quality, durable materials to withstand daily use and last for years. Used in combination with a shower curtain, folding shower doors make showering more comfortable and dignified for the bather and caregiver.
