My elderly father is coming to visit January 28 through February 14. Contacted VHA Helping Hands but they are out of them.
If anyone is able to lend a small shower bench similar to the one depicted, please contact me. Will pick up and return within the dates above.
Thanking you in advance if you could help out!

Thank you but it will arrive too late. I was planning to borrow one from Helping Hands who said they had the when I called a few weeks ago, but unfortunately now they are all out - not their fault, just the way it is...a lot of need out there.

:ho: Just looked at AMAZON. $21 delivered for free with Prime by Sun.Jan.27th.
When you're finished with it and if you don't want to store it maybe donate to Helping Hands?? :coolsmiley:

Maybe it's just me, but the thought of using a used shower bench makes my skin crawl.

I've got an old used one a friend lent to me following surgery, and then said I could keep it. Call if you still need it 352.751.0774.

Try various pharmacies for a rental. Or one of the assisted living facilities.

Appreciate the input. Amazon will help out! Both the seat and toilet hand rails I purchased for my Dad will go to Helping Hands after the visit. If anyone knows of a similar organization, i’d like to consider them as well.

Right! Thought that was pretty weird myself.

I have one like you pictured that you can borrow while your father is here. Do you need to have the back put on it? Call me 352-561-4891

Thank you for your generosity. I purchased one through Amazon and it should arrive by this Sunday - in time:). I was thinking of a bench, but was told that my Dad needed the back (and arms)...found one on Amazon. The chairs are made of plastic and can easily be sanitized before donated to the next person who needs it.

Maybe it's just me, but the thought of using a used shower bench makes my skin crawl. There are things called "cleaners and disinfectants" if one is worried. Did you ever sleep in a hotel bed? Ones imagination can't even fully comprehend what has been there before.
