Transfer Benches

A transfer bench is longer than a shower chair and when in use two legs of the bench are in the tub and the other two outside the tub. The bather sits on the portion of the bench that is outside the tub and scoots or slides over the side of the tub. When not in use the bench can be stored inside the tub. To ensure that water doesn’t run on to the floor, the shower curtain should be draped over the portion of the bench that is inside the tub. It is also a good idea to install non-slip decals or rubber bathmats on the floor of the tub to prevent slipping.
