Es excelente para las personas invalidas, aunque un poco caro.
If you have anyone that is elderly, disabled this pole is a must. The curved s gives them a handle, it moves around the pole and locks in place. We have 2 could not be without them.
I had significant foot surgery last year and it involved months of being bedridden. I hadn’t accounted for the weakness that would result. I bought two of these, one for my bedside and the other for the bathroom. I don’t know how I could have done as well as I am doing if I hadn’t had these placed so I can transfer in and out of bed and the tub. Most impressive, is that they are easy to move and relocate, or remove and store when I no longer need them. I especially like the bends and the ability to move them around easily, while maintaining stability. I admit to being skeptical that this would work without bolting it to the floor and ceiling, but they haven’t slipped a millimeter. I’m so afraid of falling that the slightest movement would have freaked me out. If you or a loved one can benefit from arm up, these security poles can provide a lot of help with stability and mobility.
The security pole is very helpful for my husband when getting in and out of bed. I don’t think it is as secure as it should be because we have 7.5 ft. ceilings. The extension insert doesn’t fit for 7.5 ft. ceilings so there isn’t very much overlap in the pole without the extension. We need to keep a close watch that it is secure when he uses it and frequently tighten it up.
Where have you been all my life? This bar is so cool. I have had issues with getting in and out of the bathtub for a long time. I find showers to be OK but there are times when I need a good soak. With my disabilities it can be very difficult to get out of the tub. It has taken me up to 25 minutes to get myself out of the tub before finding this solution. Not great for pole dancingBut great for getting in and out of the bathtub.
My sister-in-law and I got it done without a 3rd person, and it is SOLID!
I did not expect such a massive construction just to keep my poor wife from falling into the tub again, but, boy, do I appreciate its overkill.
***** for the finished product, even though it has a sliding cover for the threads halfway up. This doesn’t seem too good, but I won’t downgrade it for that.
*** for the really poor and confusing installation instructions with tiny illustrations. Work on these, you manufacturers. Raise them to the quality of your product. People will be endangered trying to hold these pieces together while attempting to read the instructions.
Should you buy this product? Yes. It is solid and very helpful.
I was a bit worried about how this would go for my mom.
I installed it without having to use the securing bolts into the ceiling. The pressure alone was enough. I’m about 270 and was able to put my full weight against this thing and it didn’t budge, bend, or show signs of giving out.
Put my foot against the base and put my full weight against this and did a full row to get myself off the ground. Still didn’t move, bend, or give me any sign it may fail for my mom.
My 97 year old father had a hard time getting up on his own. He is now able to lie down in bed and get up easily. With the ability to swivel he also is able to use it to get in and out of his recliner.
This transfer pole is easy to install, sturdy, and ridiculously helpful for transferring into and out of bed. It is also great for getting into and out of chairs. We installed three of them in various places after a relative was injured and they made an enormous difference in the rehab process. These are held in place with tension, no screws or nails go into the floor or ceiling. Ours did not leave a mark when removed. It is sturdy enough for a 220 pound man to hang off the side of and wiggle back and forth with no movement. It is much sturdier than I would have imagined possible.
his is an excellent product. The materials are of very good quality. It is relatively heavy so you know the metal is good and strong. The instructions were good – I had the unit installed in about 15 minutes. I read the reviews and understood that it was secure/strong but once I had it installed I was surprised just at how strong and supportive it is. I installed it for my aging father and he quickly got the hang of it and is using it regularly to help him get out of his recliner. super great produc
This thing is not flimsy it’s made well and won’t wobble very easy to set up and adjust actually quite nice for the price
We have two of these transfer poles. Our first is in a small bathroom to help with toileting and bathing. It gives stability when pulling pants up and down. The second is in the bedroom. It enables the patient to stand while pivoting onto the bed and the rotating handle helps with positioning when lying down.
The pole was easy to install and extremely well made. The handle design was perfect for my elderly mother getting in and out of the shower safely.
Bought 2 of these poles because my daughter broke her ankle so bad that it needed surgery. These help so much for stability and pulling herself up from the wheelchair to help with dressing and toileting and getting in & out of bed. They are so helpful!!!
We have 2 of these. One mounted by my husbands bed and one by his lift chair. He is a large man 6 Ft. tall and weighs 220 lbs. He uses it to pull up out of Electric Wheel Chair and makes it so much easier on him since he doesn’t have the use of his left side. It is very safe and doesn’t damage or require holes to the drilled into floor or ceiling. So far it hasn’t caused any damage to our vinyl floor or ceilings.
Somewhat easy to install. Not a fan of the plastic spacers, they keep popping out during installation. Once installed was very helpful and provided safety and additional support.
We have installed these around the home to aid in transfers in the bedroom, bathroom and living room. Very sturdy and adjustable which helps in tight areas.
I was so thankful to find this and even more thankful that it has worked out for me. I only have one bathroom in my 102 year old home and I have a cast iron claw foot tub. After knee replacement I needed to get in and out of my tub. I still needed an assist from my daughter but this pole gave us extra support and as I have healed and need less help allows me to safely and cautiously maneuver in and out of my tub. The locking and swiveling hand hold is terrific! I did need some assistance with assembly and installation but it was not difficult for the person who helped out with that!
Caring by myself for husband with dementia has gotten progressively more difficult as his motor skills have declined. Getting out of bed in the morning so that I can put him in a transport chair could take 15/20 minutes. Now that I have installed this security pole he sits on the edge of the bed and pulls himself right up. At night I can roll his transport chair to the security pole and he can grab it and lower himself onto the bed. He no longer has to go through the contortions of putting his hands on the bed and awkwardly finding his place in the bed. Luckily his upper body strength is all there. I am very grateful for this product.
Feel solid enough on a 9′ ceiling. At 180 lbs a hung off of it to test for my 125 lb wife and there was no slipping. Two things though:
If you extend beyond 8′ you will see gray steel up high, vs the solid white in all of the photos. They could, and should include a plastic cover for this.
At 9′ there is a bit of jiggle up high. Still feels solid, but I made sure to get the level out and make sure the pole was vertical. Not sure how I would feel about 10′, but perhaps just fine.
In the end, it gets the job done on a 9′ rise for a 125 lb person and we are keeping it.
Very grateful for this product. My grandmother is extremely pleased and is able to get up and down from the sofa on her own.
Goes in easy, even with our 9ft ceiling, still very stable and a breeze to install. I feel safe with my family member using it daily. It supports me, I weigh about 210lbs. holds me easily. Went in 10 minutes, including getting it out of the box time. Worth it, allows enhanced freedom of movement.
I rarely have time to write reviews since I caretake my husband and that alone is soooo time consuming in addition to all of life’s other obligations. This pressure fit stability pole is an absolute game changer in our home! Using it in the bathroom but will probably get a second one for other spots in the house -huge thank you to everyone involved in adding this to my home. Thank you the the inventor, the manufacturer, to Amazon for carrying it and to the shipping folks who delivered it to my doorstep.
My dad just turned 100 years old and has dementia. He’s extremely unsteady on his feet and uses a walker, but it doesn’t fit through the bathroom door. He needed something to hold onto in his tiny bathroom and this is perfect. It’s very heavy and sturdy, and the swivel handhold is great. I bought it because of all the excellent reviews and it absolutely lives up to them.
My 85 year old father is struggling with balance and strength and this pole provides excellent support. It works so well we got him another one to help in the shower.
My husband has Multiple Sclerosis and is off balance. I put this between the sink & toilet and it helps him have something to hold on to.
This is the best thing I have ever bought. It gives my honey and I independence. He had a stroke and I could not hold him up and clean him at the same time after using the toilet. Now he can stand and hang on and I can do everything else. This is a gods send. Thank you ever so much. Grandson installed it without any problems.
It’s very stable and the handle is adjustable. Under mattress rail gets in the way of legs and walker. This works perfectly!!!
Just received and installed today. My late 70s mom had been stepping into a corner shower that was much too high for her. I added a blow-molded anti-skid low step outside the shower door and installed this pole beside it. Great combination.
Highly recommend using the extension if your ceiling height allows for it. That extension adds a little extra rigidity to the pole. You’ll feel the difference when you grab the handle and push-pull on it. Once installed securely it worked great. I did not feel the need to use the additional screws.
The swing mechanism works smoothly and it wasy easy for her to operate. She’s super happy with how much safer this feels for her now.
I’m a care taker for my mom and this is wonderful.
This security pole with curved grab bars was very easy to install, it just took a few minutes. You can turn the grab bars to different positions when you use it, or make up the bed. I no longer have to assist my husband to stand up when he gets out of bed.
Fitting was straight forward. Now provides safe access to and from the shower.
Brilliant item. Helps one get out of the shower without touching the glass panel.
For the severely physically disabled, there is no comparison in having a support midway between transition points, and yet, how is one to suspend a support in-between point A and point B? This product. My daughter has one to transition from her wheelchair to the bed and another to transition from wheelchair to toilet, there is nothing that can compare with this product (the only possibility are those huge swing out bars that will clobber one over the head or simply be in the way once fully extended from the wall).
This was exactly what we needed to provide extra handholds for getting out of the shower. I got this for my mobility-impaired husband, but I find myself using it as well. It was a little challenging to put up but no tools were needed, just common sense
I feel so lucky to have found this. Put it in the bathroom to assist getting in and out of tub. It is absolutely PERFECT. Study, well made, functional. Every old person out there needs this in their home. Living room, bathroom, bedroom…. works with standard ceiling heights only.
Works great! The shower floor to ceiling height was only 6′ 10″ but the pole fit OK in spite of the instructions saying it required a minimum floor to ceiling height of 7′.. Very helpful for a person with bad hips taking a shower. Easier to install than a grab bar on the wall that would have required drilling through thick tile, and works better right in front of her than a grab bar would. I definitely would buy it again. Very sturdy.
Also couple of parts were not on instructions nor included on the diagram! I called the customer service and clear prompt directed me to customer service and talked to a live person who answered pleasantly, identified herself , could be understood, included name of the company. I had my directions in front of me so when she helped me I could understand the numbered items where she was guiding me.
The unnamed parts were 4 plastic halved, grooved inserts and white plastic hollow cylinder. The plastic halves fit together and have thick end and thin end . Match those one above grab and one below watching direction . We put thicker end facing the ceiling and lower 2 thicker end toward the floor.
There is a white non numbered plastic sleeve that fits OVER POLE #2. It easily slides up as tighten threads and then drops over exposed threads. The plastic halves will advance into poles as tighten nut #8 with included wrench. VERY well made and I chose it because the pull pin will allow the curved bar to be multidirectional! Great feature and a deciding factor as it was more expensive, but SO helpful for us!
Amazon delivered and I recognized immediately from gray duct tape and added clear tape it was a return that I got- the poles were loose and small scratch on one pole but small. Fortunately the return box had all item parts included in a hefty ziplock bag as well as directions. Thus the 4 star was for poor return repackaging and for parts included but not explained. Overall, thankful for the assistance the bar will be!

We bought this for my mom who was having trouble getting out of bed. My husband put it together and it was easy to install by the bed. It is a game changer! This bar will allow her to stay in her home a little longer.
The bar works very well. It is reasonably adjustable, although I had to drill and extra hole to customize it to my ceiling height. Overall it is a great product. Very solid.
Excellent! Easy install.fits securely without ceiling or floor damage. Use this next to the bathtub for extra security for 96 y.o. mom. Also installed another in her bedroom in the open area where there’s not much for her to grab on to. Kinda pricey but well made. I recommend these especially if you are cramped for space, as we are. And you take care of someone who requires mobility / stability apparati then you know how much space those can take up.
I bought this in 2017 for an elderly friend who was unstable on her feet. It went by her bed. It worked SO WELL. Very well made and have used it in different environments. I highly recommend this if you know someone who is unsteady on their feet, frail, having balance problems or needs a place to grab to mainain stability.
Excellent pole, easy to install especially given that we couldn’t drill or damage anything in the sheltered housing unit where she is staying. She doesn’t understand the joke about having a stripper pole in the bedroom but does appreciate it’s utility/assistance for getting in and out of bed.
C’est le deuximes que je commande pour deux personnes ges. La premiere barre coter $90.00 de plus (couleur blanche). La barre de couleur noir tais beaucoup moins cher pour la mme efficacit. La barre est efficace 100%.
after discussion with psw actually helping, pole was situated where it worked the best.
The item arrived on time, well packaged. It is well built and works well.
We got it to use as grab bar to assist in transfers in the bathroom. It works well but we didn’t think it as sturdy enough so we anchored it to the ceiling. Hence the 3 star ratings. That said, it’s very sturdy and works well for us.
Installed this while a relative stayed over to provide extra support while getting up/sitting down from the toilet. Worked like it’s supposed to (such a relief), and it’s SO sturdy. It was also very easy to install, un-install, and store for the next time it’s needed.
After purchase, delivery and low stress, simple installation (by a willing son-in-law), I truly believe it’s one of the best purchases for my bedfast condition I’ve ever made. It’ll require some arm strength to lift yourself into a wheelchair, scooter, commode or what have you, but you will love it. It does tons for your self-confidence and assists your aides from having to do quite as much weight lifting and resulting fatigue. For those whose condition the pole is built for, it is wonderful and I heartily recommend it. FYI: I sleep in an eight foot ceiling room. No problem.
It’s sturdy without having to bolt it down. My 90 year old mother finds it helpful to assist her getting up from the toilet & getting out of the bath tub.
We have 3 of these security poles in our home and one at church for my 94 year old mother to use. They are very stable and so helpful for a person who has balance issues. We feel much more secure in mom moving around safely by having these in different places in our home. We’ve had 2 of them for 6 years now and recently added one more to provide more safety. We highly recommend these security poles.
My wife like it very much to secure her moving around the corner of hallway and getting up from chair.
This pole does the job my mother 89 yrs old can use it just fine! Put by shower and toilet she uses for both since handle can swing and lock in place! As her caregiver it was definitely a must.
I highly recommend this stability pole for anyone who has difficulty with mobility or needs assistance sitting or standing. It’s very durable and it’s very easy installation! No need to hammer or screw anything into the walls. We bought this for my father-in-law and he said, he’s never felt more secure getting into and out of bed. We were relieved to have found something that works so well for him! Great buy!!!
This product is super easy to install and the quality is really good. My husband who is around 225 pounds pulled himself ( to check it out) up and it was super solid.
Boosted my confidence getting in and out of the bath/shower easy to fit and fix, very sturdy
Works fine for 90 pound 98 year old mother. Stable and easy to install.
I liked the price as opposed to buying from a seniors store I saved over 200 dollars , perfect for mom to get out of bed , good produc
This is a great product – however – it does not work at all heights between 7 and 11 feet. We installed this where we had a ceiling height that just would not work – the instructions say not to use the extender beyond 10 inches and we had to have it out just over 11 inches to fit the space, making the pole unstable. We ended up having to cut the metal and modify the height in order to use it. Otherwise, this is a great invention – just know that there seem to be two very specific heights between 7 and 11 feet where this doesn’t quite work.
I used this product to help me get out of bed and to stabilize my position while standing
I have trouble getting up from chairs or the floor and need something reliable to hold onto when I do my therapy exercises for MS. This is a stylish utility pole and very useful in times of need. It is a tension pole, but it can be fastened to the ceiling, and I do have one attached to Livingroom ceiling because I felt the carpeting caused it to wiggle and I didn’t trust the tension with my weight. I also have two that are NOT attached to ceilings in bathroom and bedroom. They are stable and reliable as tension poles.
It was easy to install on a 8 to 9 foot ceiling. The rubber pads keep it from slipping on the floor or ceiling. It made getting into and out of the bed and onto a wheelchair a lot easier.
We were a bit nervous to put so much money into this pole but the reviews convinced us to give it a try. This is a perfect mobility aid. Installed it next to my 79 year old mother’s bed to help her get in and out. She loves it! It has made a huge difference. It is very stable; it doesn’t move.
Highly recommend this.
My son installed this for his dad, and it is an excellent aid in a shower or outside of the bathtub. The handle can be moved to several positions, so you can put it where you need it most at any given time. Absolutely a great, safety product, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
H quality and ease of installation makes this a must for any bathroom for seniors.
Pole all metal solid construction. {H} bracket at top holds securely with no damage to sealing.
Highly suggested safe and stable. Use 4/5 times every day.
Weight 230 lb. 6 ft. no problem with holding my weight.
Easy to install, a lifesaver, broke my ankle and it helps me get up and to get back on my feet if I fall
. Love the adjustable hand grips. Can turn them in different directions.
In the bathroom can help me get up from the toilet and then turn it to help me safely in the showe
Almost a one-person install, if I were taller I wouldn’t have needed to enlist a helper to connect the top half and the bottom half. The included flat wrench was a little uncomfortable but easily did the job. We are both heavy and this is solid and strong when we grab it.
Got this for my 90 year old grandfather. He said he didn’t need it we installed it beside his bed (carpet flooring) works great he loves it secretly great invention and investme
As a person with limited abilities I’ve found greater confidence when transferring from one place to another, thus minimizing the risk of falls It can simply be installed using the rubber portion that securely holds the pole into place temporarily or installed permanently with screws on the top and bottom. It has two handles that rotate to where they are most helpful.
This was bought for my elderly mother who lives alone. The whole family is much more comfortable knowing she has this device in the house.
The bar is maneovreable but not when you don’t want it to be!
This bar is a safe way to help me stand to get into bed from my wheelchair.
I purchased this for friend who has medical conditions and over weight with out this she could not get in her bed by herself very easy to install and they have a few options on mounting
Perfect for our need. My 90 year old mother, resistant to using most aides, has taken to this and feels safe. Easy to put in place, tool provided … suggest 2 of you and a spirit level.
My Dad is 91 and remains living at home but needs assistance getting up from a sitting position and extra stability while standing to get dressed and out from shower. I purchased one to assist getting out of bed, then three additional, one for toilet, one for dressing chair and one for outside shower door. Best product out there. Thank you and congratulations to the family who designed this for their Grandma. I never review products but this is a life saver and I want to share with others in this situation, like me and my Dad.
Got this so my 90 year old mother-in-law would have something to hold on to while she showers. Installation in our walk-in, tiled shower was easy. Very sturdy. Gives us peace of mind and helps maintain her independence without drilling into the wall to install a grab bar.
I put this at my mom and dad house there 91 and 93. They think its great. Well Worth it. It great by the Toilet to help them, and the door of the shower.
Installed this for my mom at her shower and it gives her much needed security when getting in and out of the shower. She loves it.
Little tricky for the one man (me) installation team, but I managed.
My mom current has use of only one arm. I looked for something to help her get out of her chair on her own because it was dIfficult for her and my dad to do together. This unit totally has changed her life. She is able to get up on her own AND co trol the handle bar with one hand when she wants to turn the bar if it’s in her view or for another position to grab onto.
Tip: unless you have a curling lower than 8 ft, assemble the entire unit as shown. I’m a visual person and the instructions were worded correctly but the illustrations were poor to non existent. I ended up disturbing out the assemble by looking at the outside of the box. So the tip is to alswasy assemble with the extension piece u less your under 8 ft in ceiling height.
I can’t recommend this enough to those that need it.
This works well for my mother. Product is excellent for the seniors.
Fits in shower nicely. Secure to the ceiling and the floor just by tension. Offers a great extra helping hand when getting in and out of the shower… Only difficult part was installing trying to hold it in place while getting it tight to the ceiling was a little tricky.
Easy to install, installed for my husband who is 90 and needs help getting in and out of the shower. The tension rod is more secure than what I thought it would be. I wanted to try it before screwing in and it holds well. The double grip is genius, wide enough to feel secure and allow him to grip with arthritis hands. It’s worth every penny!!!
I was a little skeptical that, without being bolted down, this would be safe. I was wrong. It has been working great for my mother to help get out of the shower and off the commode.
Even though it seems pricey this has been worth it’s weight in GOLD. So sturdy and can be put literally ANYWHERE. looks nice in the room and is SUCH a boon to my dad’s confidence. We put this one next to his bed so he can get out and in bed by himself. We will probably get another for the bathroom next to the toilet. Very happy with this purchase. Super easy to put together.
My 93 year old, wheelchair-bound mom owns five of these security poles that she uses during transfers. (1) for the commode, (1) for the bed, (1) for the easy chair, (2) for the shower. These poles are sturdy and provide much-needed support for my mom when transferring from her wheelchair. At first, I thought they were pricey but after I saw the safety they provide and calculated the consequences of a possible fall, the cost factor was marginal. Also, factor in that because this product is so well built and has nothing to wear out, it can be sold on Craig’s List when you’re done with it, probably for half of what you paid for it. We started by buying one then added four more. Hard to provide a better recommendation than that!
My mom is not able to stand alone but this bar enables her to move from bed to chair by herself. She’s very happy with this!
I purchased this for my mom, she’s 90yrs of age; i also had to buy her a memory mattress along with an adjustable bed frame; this has made it much easier for my mom to get in and out of bed; where as before, she would fall out of bed unable to get up and since purchasing her everything she hasn’t had any incidents…
They require no installation skills, just a level and the wrench provided. Pieces slide together easily. Just needed someone to hold it in place and level while I used the wrench to tighten. Had it one day and immediately ordered another. These poles (because they are “stripper poles” ) have been named Bambi and Tina Turner. They are amazing. He can use them to pull his full weight out of the power chair, turn the handle bar, and seat himself on either the bed or in his recliner. The do not move. They have saved many calls to 911, as well as my nerves, blood pressure and back. We have become the answer people for poles. They are the BEST
