The questions the patients often ask are:
How will I be safe when it take a shower?
What kind of shower chair should I get?
How will I get dressed?
Should I get a bedside commode?

Who will recommend what type of equipment I should get?
Occupational and Physical therapists often recommend which equipment a patient should get.
Therapists would come to the patient’s house to determine their safety when they do their daily activities. This would include identifying what medical equipment they need in order to function and improve their independence.
