The Red Ashby Bath Step was specifically designed and created for those individuals suffering with Dementia and other related visual recognition issues.
Professionals have long recognised that red is a colour that is associated with alert and attracts attention. Therefore by using highly visible, high contrast colours, for items such as this bath step, the individual can be helped to recognise and understand their environment – boosting their confidence and independence.
The bright red bath step combines the safety of a bath step with its high visibility also helping those with a visual impairment to easily locate and use the step, as a white step against a white bath can be difficult to see and therefore use safely. This makes bathing easier and safer by reducing the danger of falling, when climbing into the bath or shower.
The bath step has two height settings, depending on which way it is used. One side of the step gives a 4 inch (10cm) step, the other side gives a higher 6 inch (15cm) step. Choose the height which is closest to the base of the bath, to prevent over-reaching.
The Red Ashby Bath Step Two has a large textured standing area, with plenty of room for both feet, so the user can be really steady and confident when stepping into and out of the bath.
A carrying handle in the middle of the step makes it easy to turn over, position or move, and its simple design ensures it is also very easy to keep clean.
