Shower steps
Ann is waiting for two hip replacements and finds stepping up very difficult. A 4″ step is the most she can manage and the tray on her shower is 12″ high.
A pair of stacking box steps were made each 4″ high to give access. Handles were provided for ease of moving and were made large enough to be “hooked” with a walking stick. The bottom step can be used without the top for kneeling on to clean out the shower and she even uses it when washing her hair.
The steps are more secure and safer than the makeshift steps used previously.
