Now I can have a shower without any fear of falling

"Now I can have a shower without any fear of falling"

About: Community Occupational Therapy / Kirkcaldy & Postural Management

(as a service user),

Gillian, Occupational Therapy Assistant. visited me in my home and arranged for aid fixtures to be applied to help me with my mobility around the house. She also had a hand rail installed in the bathroom to make getting in and out of the shower.

She had a small stool put in to the shower so now I can have a shower without any fear of falling.

I would like to thank her for all her help
