Greetings! Hope the new year has started off well for you. Wishing you a great 2011!

I am looking for advice on where to find a bath tub seat for an aged parent. Unfortunately we don't have a shower in the house; only bath tubs. Hoping to find some sort of seat that can fit inside or across the bath tub for use by Seniors. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

just make sure that you tell the salesman the dimensions of your tub ledge, if you are looking for something that will sit on the ledge.

If you don't find anything at Life Pharmacy, you may find something at Bagno Design on Sheikh Zayed Road. They have bathroom fittings (showers, tubs, etc.). I have not been there in a while (and am not affiliated with them in any way;)). I do not know for sure if they stock these, but when I was there I noticed they had a number of different items including shower seats. Might be worth a visit.

I have a shower chair but it could be used as a bath chair. It sits inside the tub lengthways. I dont think you will find a apparatus that will fit across the tub here unless you are sure that both side of the tub are sturdy. You are more than welcome to borrow this chair and the height is adjustable. If you would like to come and check it out you are most welcome :)

Apparently life pharmacy on al wasl (near Defence roundabout) has lots of medical equipment, maybe they have something useful.
