About this deal

Consider your daily routine. What movements are you making or what activities are you doing when you feel that additional support, or something to hold on to, would give you extra safety? For example: Newel rails are designed to turn through 90o around the newel post (the upright post of the stair banister). They provide a continuous grip as the user reaches the bottom or top of the stairs and turns the corner. They are available in a range of sizes. Particular care should be taken when attaching rails to domestic sandwich partitions, e.g. plasterboard with a hardboard facing. A wide range of finished hand rails are available from DIY chains for you to choose from. A plain 50mm mop head cross section softwood rail may be used. Floor to ceiling railsare vertical rails which are attached to both the floor and the ceiling. They can be held at any point up the bar for general support and can be useful in the process of standing up/sitting down.

The rail should be mounted at a height that the user can comfortably reach whilst stood both from outside the bath and from in the bath. A high contrast finish may be helpful if you have low vision - choose grab rails in a colour that contrasts with the wall it is to be installed on. Staircases usually have a handrail on one side, although this may not extend to the full length of the staircase. Most DIY stores sell handrails which can be used to extend the existing handrail all the way up the staircase if it is required. Adding a handrail to the other side of the staircase will provide more support where needed. Long lengths of rail are available and may also be installed along corridors. When standing from a sitting position in the bath you may find it helpful to hold one horizontal wall-fixed grab rail (placed above the bath) with one hand and use the outer rim of the bath with the other hand to push against. There needs to be a 50-60mm clearance between the wall and all handrails.

Adjustable beds for home

There are many types of grab rail. The main types are briefly introduced below, before going into greater detail about grab rails and their use in specific areas of the home. If there are obstructions beside the toilet, such as a radiator, or the walls are not suitable for installing rails, you will need to look at alternative kinds of support.

This should be a flat, unknotted piece of wood, which is screwed into the vertical joining pieces of the partitions. The grab rails can then be attached to the board. The College of Occupational Therapists recommends a 144mm x 19mm board/pattress with its external corners well rounded and the board itself fixed to the wall at least every 900mm (COT 2006). If you are very unstable when standing and you find it difficult to bear your own weight, simple grab rails may not be the most suitable answer for you. You may need more support to help you. Likewise, if you have very poor grip, or significant pain in your hands, arms or shoulders. Bottom half of Arena grab ring is attached to inside of surround and the top half is attached to the mechanism. The Arena adjustable bed grab rail, handle, ring or bed lever (depending on what you call it) comeswith anti entrapment andwas designed by Laybrook especially for domesticelectric adjustable beds. The Arena grab ring is attached to the side of the surround so it stays static when you change position on your bed, this makes it easy to use when getting in and out of bed, helps you turn whilst laying in bed, supports you when getting up out of the bed whilst sitting on the edge of the bed. Withother grab rings, when the head section of your bed elevates to the upright position the grab ring moves with the bed and impedes you from getting in & out of the bed.The height will depend on your needs, often at the same height as an existing banister rail. This is usually between 900-1000mm above the pitch line of the stairs.

The following is general guidance. When an individual user is known, personal factors such as the height of the person should be given priority. Rails set at an angle can help a person who needs a steadying support - e.g. to stand from a bath board to shower. The rail can be placed at an angle of 45 degrees up and away from the user. This keeps the wrist in a neutral position. It is not necessary to lean far forward to grasp the rail at the lower end and the hand can travel up the rail to maintain the support once the person is standing. A 600mm long horizontal rail 680mm from the floor beside, and extending in front, of the toilet pan for use when sitting down on the toilet. This rail can be horizontal or set at an angle of up to 15 degrees. Alternative suggested measurements are a minimum 500mm long rail, at a height of 600mm from the floor, with the rear fixing 400mm from the wall at the rear of the toilet. Ensure that the wall is strong enough to take the weight of this type of rail. Care should be taken that the user never bends down underneath the rail (e.g. to reach their feet) when sat in the bath as they could trap their head under the rail.THIS BED LEVER FITS ALL TYPES OF SLATTED DIVAN ADJUSTABLE BEDS FROM ALL COMPANIES AND 95% OF ALL OTHER LAYBROOK ADJUSTABLE BEDS, ALL LAYBROOK WOODEN ADJUSTABLE BED (NEEDS A DIFFERENT BOTTOM PLATE), ALL LAYBROOK LEATHER ADJUSTABLE BEDS. It is recommended that it is run continuously from the bottom to the top of your flight of stairs, including going around the edge of any intervening landings and across window openings. The handrail should be allowed to continue past the top and bottom steps by 300mm. Suction grab rails attach to a smooth surface by forming a strong suction grip at each end. Some manufacturers state that they are not weight-bearing and are only intended to assist with balance. Others do not clearly state this, but give a weight limit for safe use. You are advised to read any guidance and seek further clarification if needed before you use these rails. They are highlighted as portable for visits and holidays.

A polished or chrome finish is attractive and hard wearing but can be quite slippery to hold, especially when hands are wet. sitting down or standing up from the toilet, or standing to manage your clothes when using a toilet A rail can be fixed horizontally to the wall 75-100mm above the bath rim (see dimension c in diagram). It should start 200mm from the tap end of the bath (dimension a) (COT 2006 p13, H M Government 2015, p58, diagram 26). GRAB RING SHORT FITS ALL DIVAN ADJUSTABLE BEDS WITH A SIDE PANEL OF 6-8 INCHES ((NORMALLY A BED ON LEGS) THIS IS THE SIDE PANEL OF THE BED THAT THE GRAB RING WILL FIT TO)).As a general guide there are two options for wall mounted rails by the toilet. If you have the same strength on both sides of your body it may be a good idea to have supports fixed on both sides of the toilet so that you can use both arms. When using these rails you must consider the integrity and strength of the surface to which you are fixing them. For example, when fixed to wall tiles, the attachment of the tiles to the wall MUST be secure. Bottom half of Arena grab ring is attached to inside of surround via a U grip and the top half is attached to the static part of the mechanism with a clamping action, just twist the knob and the threaded clamp secures the bed lever onto the bed. If you are struggling with caring for yourself, or your carer is struggling to provide care for you, consider asking for a health and social care needs assessment. Since the Care Act 2014 (Great Britain. Parliament 2014) came into power in April 2015, anyone who appears to need care and support can request an assessment from their local council, irrespective of their income or savings. The Act also places a statutory duty on local authorities and the NHS to support individuals to take steps to prevent their ill health or care requirements from getting worse. These strategies for prevention can include the early provision of equipment and services to help prevent, delay or reduce the development of further need for care and support, which would include the provision and fitting of grab rails depending on the cost. The horizontal rail can be used in combination with a bath board. The user may benefit from holding the rail while they sit on the board, then turn and lift their legs in and out of the bath
