Bathroom safety equipment in Singapore
Shower chairs, commodes, grab rails, non-slip mats, and raised toilet seats.
What to look for
- Grab rails should be professionally installed — improperly fixed rails can pull out under load and cause a fall.
- Shower chairs with arms and backs are safer than simple stools for those with balance problems.
- Non-slip mats must be replaced when suction cups degrade — check regularly.
- Portable commodes are useful for patients who cannot safely reach a toilet.
Buy or rent?
Most bathroom safety equipment is purchased rather than rented. Items are relatively low-cost and durable.
Subsidy options
HDB residents may be eligible for HDB’s Enhancement for Active Seniors (EASE) grant, which subsidises grab bar installation and slip-resistant treatment. Check at hdb.gov.sg.

Frequently asked questions
Who should install grab rails?
A trained contractor or occupational therapist. Improper installation into hollow walls or at the wrong height increases fall risk rather than reducing it.
What is the EASE grant?
HDB’s Enhancement for Active Seniors (EASE) programme subsidises modifications including grab bars, ramps, and slip-resistant treatment for HDB flat residents aged 65+ or with a disability. Apply at HDB branches.
Is a shower chair the same as a shower wheelchair?
A shower chair is a seated aid for showering in a standard shower. A shower wheelchair is a specialised wheelchair that can be used directly under a shower or over a toilet — needed for fully dependent patients.
