A transfer bench is a highly effective and affordable solution for people who find it difficult to get into and out of the bathtub or shower safely. The bench spans the bathtub edge, allowing users to sit down outside the tub and then slide across into position.

Occupational therapists assess a client’s strength, balance, coordination, and bathroom layout to prescribe the right transfer bench. Key features can include padded seating, adjustable height, non-slip feet, and backrests for additional support.

Transfer benches are ideal for individuals recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or living with neurological conditions. They offer both independence and peace of mind during daily hygiene tasks.

At South Coast Therapy & Support Group, our OTs conduct in-home bathroom safety assessments and recommend the most suitable transfer bench based on your goals. We also support the funding process so you can access the equipment you need without delay.
