Stander Wonder Pole Plus, Security Pole and Curve Grab Bar, Bathroom Safety Rail for Elderly, Tension Mounted Floor to Ceiling Safety Assist Handle for Seniors, Supports 300 lbs, White

I am 93 and often struggle getting up off of our couch when watching TV with my wife of almost 71 years. This was recommended to me by a friend and my son installed it for us. I was sold on the stability when our 280 son used the pole to jerk himself out of the chair beside the couch and it didn't budge! The curved handle is very helpful as it allows me to grip one way when sitting down to slow my drop and another way to help me stand up. I wish I would have learned about this a couple of years ago, it would have had a huge impact on my mobility in the home! We are thinking about getting a couple more for the bedroom and bathroom.

I bought this for my 84-year old mother who is recovering from the effects of a stroke. Because she is still moving around in a wheelchair and is unstable on her own two feet, we needed to get her some assistance in getting into her tub. Since she's also blind, we have additional challenges. She said that the bar is very helpful in making her feel secure as she transfers from wheelchair to shower bench, and out again. I call this her "dance pole," which amuses her to no end. My mother and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for more security in getting in and out of the tub or bed.
