Why care homes use this

A wall-mounted folding seat lets a resident shower seated without a separate shower chair taking up floor space, and folds away for residents who don't need it -- useful in shared or visitor-accessible wet rooms. This is the standard-capacity tier; AKW also offer a back-and-arms tier and a bariatric tier for higher support/capacity needs (see related products).
