Great product, makes at home living for elderly people much more livable. We used ours as a transition point between the shower and toilet and it has greatly improved the quality of life for our loved one.

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.

It’s static (floor to ceiling) and hasn’t moved with me getting up from bed since it arrived a week or two back. the grab handles can rotate and go up and down.
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.

Excellent, fit for purpose and some
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.

all you need to know is MOM LOVES IT!!!!
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.

Great sturdy easy to use unit!
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.

I fitted this on my own and it was fairly straight forward but it is quite heavy so assistance could be required. It is solid and secure once fitted. I had to cut away some of the side panel of our old fashioned bath as I needed to get the base plate close to the bath tub. Do a test run before you screw the round base plate into the floor. The pole has only a slot at the bottom which fits over a metal bar in the base plate so can’t be rotated after the base plate is secured. I didn’t do a test run and by the time I assembled everything and tried to rotate the top to line up straight, I couldn’t because there was only one hole for the top kingpin and it placed the top bar diagonally whilst the baseplate screw holes were straight across. I had to take it all down and screw the base plate in again with the holes at the same diagonal. All good though.
Sturday!! Easy to install – with extension for varying ceiling heights. The B-shaped handle is ideal for grabbing at most angles. Its position can be easily changed to adapt to your personal needs. Easy to clean. Can be moved to another location – or get two!! Very helpful!
Installed easily and we screwed it in once we decided where it would go for extra stability. But we do have a question about the rotation. It is easy to move by pulling the knob out and rotating. But after the knob finds its position, there is still more rotation on the grab handles than we would have expected. Now we are not sure that it is working right due to this rotation. I don’t know how to ask this as a question, so maybe the manufacturer will comment.

Installed easily enough. Carpeted floor next to my dad’s bed so he could transfer to and from his wheelchair. My only complaint is, after a few years of use, the pole started flexing at its weakest point in the middle. This caused it to lose tension between the floor and ceiling and come down a couple times. I had to really wrench down on the tension nut to make sure it wouldn’t slip anymore. So the lower the ceiling, the better, as there won’t be as much leverage exerted in the middle of the pole. Also, make sure you’re utilizing the part of the pole that’s used to extend it to the preferred height before you use the tension nut to fill out the slack. That will help with any possible flexing.
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!!!

Very sturdy. Minutes to install. I use it in my washroom for safety on and off off toilet. It works fantastic.
I have two steps from bedroom area/bathroom into living area/kitchen. My 90 yr old mom had nothing to hang on to. I placed this pole on my wood floor right next to the bottom step. She can now go up and down the two steps by herself with ease.

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.

This product can be used in the bathroom, or any other location. We use it in the living room so she will be able to get up and walk with us helping her.

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!

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...

THIS IS A LIFE saver/changer for my 87yr father getting up from toilet and getting him in and out of a shower/tub, that was not designed for 4’9″ , 87yr old man. I gave it only 4 stars on installation because getting the top of the T bar to stay straight against ceiling, was a little difficult for 5’2 gal. To get it in a position for both the toilet and shower set up, I had to maneuver the top T bar at an awkward angle. Otherwise 1 person can set this up easily. The toggle nut (?) in center is easily adjusted with the supplied wrench like tool.

My husband is in a power chair due to progressive MS. His transfers from chair to bed and from chair to recliner have been nothing but night mares. We were on a first name basis with the EMT’s . We began working with a new occupational therapist who talked about “stripper poles”, but they had to be installed into joists. NOT happy with that recommendation I started searching and found these. Thought I’d try one to see what they were about.
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

Simple installation: The provided instructions were easy to follow, and the floor to ceiling pole set up in under 10 minutes. Seriously, the most difficult part of the assembly was deciding exactly where to position it. We forgot to put the plastic collar around the pole on our first go, so we learned that it’s just as easy to take down as it is to install, and just as sturdy when installed a second time!
Exceptionally sturdy: Considering how easy it was to install and remove, I was a little worried about putting my full weight on this pole, however it holds my 185cm frame without a bit of wobble. The swivelling grab bar is an excellent feature that really extends the functionality & security of this equipment; as noted by another autoimmune disease patient, when positioned by a shower/tub door, it almost replaces a shower grab bar.
Price: While a tad on the expensive side, when compared to other floor-to-ceiling poles the Stander is practically a budget item. I’ve needed some type of stabilizer in my bathroom for a few years, but it took my recovery from a broken knee to make me finally install something. This pole makes me wonder why I waited so long. If and when it comes to it, I won’t hesitate to order another for my living space.
My brother and I were able to assemble and install the security pole in a short time. We didn't do a permanent installation, not knowing if my parents would like it, and it holds firm with the tension control. My parents say they are happy with how it makes it easier to maneuver in the restroom.

My dad weigh 220 lb and this pole did not budge when he used it to raise or lower himself in the bathroom. He loved that the hand grip could be adjusted as well. Highly recommend. Make sure to follow directions in putting it up.

We bought this for my 95 yr old father who moved in with us. We have 10 ft ceilings and this works so good for him to get out of bed. We also bought one for the living room where he spends most of the day in a reclining sofa .. it has been a "Godsend" for helping him get up from a sitting position!!!

Was sceptical about the sturdiness of the product but was pleasantly surprised. Took less than 10 mins to put together and seems solid thus far even with a popcorn ceiling. Would rate it higher but have only had it for one day.

We purchased this for our 93 year old neighbor that kept falling when trying to get out of bed. He absolutely loves this pole as he is able to grasp it and pull himself up so he can swing his legs over the side of the bed. He has not fallen since it was installed. It is a Godsend and we are so happy to have our neighbor safe in his own home!

This is my 6th purchase of this product. My husband has Parkinson's and these grab bars help immensely. I can place them where he needs them and the grab handle can be moved about as needed in the circumstance. They compression-fit, so no drilling into the floor or ceiling is required. (Every few months I may have to tighten them, so I imagine that I might eventually crack the ceiling, but that will not be a big repair.) I highly recommend.

I would give this pole 10 stars! I have had multiple joint replacements shoulders, elbows. From time to time struggle getting up from bed. Now it is so easy. The pole is beside my bed and the curves or loops are adjustable in that you can position them around the pole. Front to back side to side whatever is the best for you. Wish I had this a long time ago.

Helps my 86 yr old disabled Mom pull herself up
Purchased 2 of the Stander Security bars for my home. My mom is disabled due to a stroke. We installed one in bathroom and one in her bedroom next to her bed. She can now transfer from
Wheelchair to bed and bathroom time is now much easier for her. We’ve had them over a year now and haven’t had one problem with the bars. They stay in place and without them she wouldn’t be able to stand. Great Product hands down.

We had never needed this floor to ceiling assistive device in our 40’ Class A motor home. But when we downsized to a 25’ Class B, even an elevated commode was not enough to help us rise to a stand. The walls of the bathroom are not sturdy enough to attach a grab bar. My husband wisely chose this Stander Security Pole as the best option he could find. The pole installed easily after some fussing with the exact placement in the bathroom for optimal and safe use. It helps us rise from the commode and also provides stability when used to get in and out of the shower. The installation is very secure and the pole and attachments are very sturdy. We encourage those with unique layouts to consider using this product.

Very stable and provides the safety support where needed. It is more expensive that a simple hand rail but it does not need to be permanently mounted, so no drilling through tiles or tub wall. It will assist at getting in and out of a chair or recliner or toilet. Prevents falls in shower and aids in stepping into a bath tub. I installed several of these units to give support after I fell and broke my hip. Easy to install I even put one on some steps that had no handrail. If you feel like you need additional stability they do provide holes on the base and ceiling brace so you can install screws if you think you need them, once I had it in place and increased the tension adjustment I reall did not think I need the screws, it was very stable, I could not pull it down. Hope this helps someone.

If you feel like you need additional stability they do provide holes on the base and ceiling brace so you can install screws if you think you need them, once I had it in place and increased the tension adjustment I reall did not think I need the screws, it was very stable, I could not pull it down. Hope this helps someone.
AWESOME!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM!!!
AWESOME!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM!!!
I have bought 3 of these in the last 4 years. First for my elderly mom, that was 89 at the time. We put it by the easy chair. Then she was so pleased with it, she decided she could really use one by the toilet. Then I rented my house to a men who had only one leg, so I bought him one, and it was so helpful for him to get in and out of the bathtub!! Since then my mom passed away, but now my dad is using the 2 poles my mom was using, and I am about to buy another one. So there will be one by the easy chair, one in the master bathroom, and one in the guest bathroom. The pole is prefect for any height. My mom was 5′ 2″ and my dad is 6′ 1″. The pole can be quickly and easily moved to a different location. If an elderly person fell, and was having a hard time getting up, you could move the pole right over to where they fell. So they can use the pole and grip, and you to help them get up. The is a must have for an elderly person!!!

Sturdy and well-designed!
Quality product suitable for installation in places with enough room for a person to walk all the way around it. It didn’t work for our teeney tiny bathroom. Manufascturer recommeds having enough room to walk all the way around it to ensure no one could ever get wedged in behind the pole. Something to consider if someone has dementia. Works for places without rugs or risers. Need strong floor and ceiling for the tension-rod to adhere securely.
Excellent product at a good price.

was pleasantly surprised--got it together and working in no time--real quality product, very sturdy

Very handy. Took about twenty minutes to put together and install. Getting in the tub is much safer now. Aliso, can rotate the handle around and it makes it easier for seniors to get off the toilet as they can grab it and pull themselves up. I also plan to put one near the bed as it will make it easier to get out of bed. Love it .
Wow... wish I had purchased this a long time ago. Thought because pole wasn't permanent, was a tension rod that it wouldn't be secure enough. Well was I ever wrong! This pole is unbelievably sturdy, durable and above all helpful. We have ours positioned for toileting and it has been a real game changer. Mom feels safer and my back feels better, too! Thank You!!

I am a 69 year old female with limited strength & mobility and I was able to install myself. It fit perfectly in my mobile home bathroom. I am able to get in and out of the tub/shower without fear of falling. I was concerned from the other reviews about whether I should use the screws as I weigh over 270, but after installing without using the screws and pushing against it as hard as I could -- it does not budge. Very pleased with the product.

These poles have been great for my wife who has lost much use of the left side of her body. The poles provide a very solid support and grab bar, even without screwing them in (we have only used the tension feature, not the included screws which would clearly provide even greater security). She is able to pull herself from her wheelchair to standing without worrying, and likes the variety of hand placements afforded by the "B" shaped rotating grab bar. The B-bar locks into position every 45 degrees, so depending on the angles can be adjusted. The only limitation is that the B bar does not extend very far from the central pole, so it only provides support in a limited radius. Otherwise she feels very secure using it. We are up to three of them now, and may add a fourth!

Easy to install, very sturdy. I have 7 in the house for my nearly blind arthritic uncle and he’s like a monkey, swinging from pole to pole! He’s thrilled to be maintaining his independence.

My husband is elderly and was having difficulty getting up off the toilet. He had been using an open cabinet door as a support, and I was so afraid he would break the door off the hinges. After some research, I found this pole, and it is perfect for him getting up. I tried to install it myself, but at 75, I found it difficult. However, my son was able to do it in a snap. The perfect solution. Love the way the top is constructed, so it won't damage the ceiling. LOVE IT

This has been a huge help when my father gets up from the bed. My husband made sure he measured out from the wall so he would have the top part against studs in the ceiling. It has been very sturdy and has given my father a sense of security. It also is a help for him to get back in the bed. The ability to be able to swing the grab section out of the way has also been a help

Bought this for my elderly parents living with us, but had to put in our bathroom shower. This pole was somewhat easy to install. it does require two people to put up.
once up it hasn’t moved! we were not able to secure the bottom of the poll with screws to the floor because of the pebble stone floor we have, but it hasn’t moved! everyone uses it and loves it! would recommend to anyone. it will not work that well in a regular tub.
My husband had this installed in the bathroom in 30 minutes time. It is so helpful and give me an added security for bathroom transfers. It is working so well I just ordered a second one. The handle moves around the bar and clicks into place which is really nice. I simply click pull the knob and twist the handle on days when I need a bit of extra security getting up or down. I've been disabled and ina wheelchair since 1985 and now that I'm retired and the years are adding up it's nice to find something quick and easy to help out for day to day living.

I bought two of these poles for my mother who is wheelchair bound and has trouble standing to transfer. The installation was pretty simple since she had a wooden floor and standard height ceiling. You do need a stud finder so you can secure to ceiling joists. You will have to drill holes in the floor amd ceiling. The unit itself goes together easily and feels substantial. The rotating "S" handle in the middle is what really makes this a valuable aid to standing. It locks in several predetermined positions and is easily adjusted. My mother quickly developed a transfer routine where she sets the handle one direction to pull herself up and then while standing changes the angle which allows her to turn and lower herself into her wheelchair. I waited a while to do the review to see how it worked. There have been no problems ....in fact my mother loves it. Recently she had some in home physical therapy and the therapist commented the design of the pole was one of the best she had seen in a home situation. This pole was a game changer for Mom and was easy enough to install that I could do it myself in an hour.

I have M.S. and always risked my life getting into the shower and bathtub! because I can't keep my balance and risk falling. When alone I'm risking my life! mow I can safely come in and out of the shower, with mo assistance. there are fore in my bathroom. And I just ordered four more, for other locations. I couldn't be more pleased, and feel very safe knowing there is help, waiting just in reach. after having the first one put up for me, the rest only took about five minutes to put up, no tools were needed.

Put by toilet. Opposite side is handicap wall rail. My dad with parkinson’s uses it and it works well. There is a little jiggle (non-security issue) as noted in details. My dad quickly learned this is normal and uses the pole both for lower and raising to/from toilet. Great for elderly parent’s pole potty dancing routines! ;)

Easy to put together and install. Only issues I have are to release the "B" looking handle grip you need to pull out a release lever. seems like someone with stability issues might have difficultly if they have to hold on with two hands to transfer. Also since it comes in pieces, it is more wobbly than the other brand transfer pole I ordered which comes as one piece.

Dad is 6’4, 225 pounds and geriatric. Getting out of his favorite chair was a huge challenge and then watching him transfer to his scooter was a fingernail biter. This gave us / him a huge boost. He can get out of the chair easier pulling up on the pole. Then he keeps one hand on the pole while turning around to sit in his scooter. No more worrying he might bobble, drag a foot, lose balance and fall over, because he always has a hand on the pole. It is priceless. Easy to install and solid as a rock. Notice it has a “base” at the ceiling, not just a pole. I believe that is what gives it the stability and distributes the load on the ceiling. Great item. We periodically check for “settling” to see if we need to snug it against the ceiling- During the first month or so we had to give the adjustment (with provided tool) a slight crank periodically as it settled into position, I’m guessing the ceiling was probably compressing a tiny bit — but we haven’t needed to adjust it in months now. wonderful addition to the house.

Bought this for my stroke survivor mom, who needs assistance getting up from her recliner. Installed this next to the recliner, and now she can get herself up and out of the chair. Total game changer, and no longer need to worry about having an aide next to her every time she wants to stand up. Product is well made and installed with basic tools in 30 minutes. Easy five stars.

Remodeled bathroom and still instinctively reach for sliding door rail. Had to install this excellent alternative soon after remodel to keep my bathroom skid-proof with grab rails everywhere.
Put this next to chair in front room. Now have something to hold on to while standing to get steady. Installed easily and is very heavy duty. Being able to adjust the handle is nice but really don’t use that function too much.

I was a little skeptical when I first unpacked this product but actually it installed without any problems. I feel very secure with the ability to tighten it to ceiling and base. The product is well-made; it is very strong and sturdy and I feel secure using it.

I installed this bedside in about 5 min. It provides a safe and sturdy place to grab to assist my wife when transferring from bed to wheelchair and back. It was easy to install and I had none of the problems described by some of the other reviewers. We have a second one in the bathroom, it’s great for transfers there as well.

Ihaave hadproblems getting out of bed for 3 years. New knee replacement did not stopmy foot from slipping and I had fell out of bed and had to call emt to get me up from the floor because my husband has had 4 surgeries the past 3 years and couldn't lift me. The pole took some effort toinstall because my ceiling had a coffer design and that means the area we needed to install to was only sheet rock and no 2x 4's. My sons figured out the wasy to reinforce the coffer and install and that pole is a wonderful item. I can get up in a hurry to make a mid night or morning run for the bathroom and no one has to worry about me falling anymore. I feel so much more secure.

I purchased this for a guy I take care of with MS. He can barely stand on his own, just enough that I can push his power wheelchair under him. Then he can travel through the house on his own. This adjustable pole makes it much easier for him to grab onto it while standing up or sitting down. It's basically a big tension bar. It extends upward, proving clamping pressure onto the floor and the ceiling. It is very secure! You don't screw or bolt it to the floor or ceiling, so there's no damage to the drywall or hardwood floors. That means that you can fine tune its location based on your needs, and even move it around at will.

This pole is great! It makes it much easier to get up and out of bed. A difficult task after 34 years of MS.
Right now mine has a problem with the pin that locks the adjustable handle. I just notified them, Stander, of this issue and will add information on how they deal it ASAP.

UPDATE TO MY REVIEW!
As I said this is one of the best purchases I’ve ever! I had a problem with the locking pin, I notified Stander of the problem, gave them the info on what was broken and the lot number, in about a week I had a whole new pole! The pole and Stander Inc. are both OUTSTANDING!

I installed it next to my 90 year old mom's bed side. She said it helped her a lot getting up from the bed. It is very stable and will not move out of place. I was surprised it came in a very long box. Airline would not let me check it in the baggage. Took pieces out of the box and put them an in a ski bag. Don't plan on travelling with it.

The pole worked as advertised and my wife is delighted to have a firm, stable pole next to the bed. The first assembly steps were clearly stated in the instructions. However, when it was time to connect the two major parts, I couldn't make the connection and gave up. When checking the replacement, I noticed that the threaded part was slightly flattened on two sides. Missing from the instructions was the information that the two parts had a slight flattening on two sides and needed to be aligned when sliding one part into the other.

My husband recently had a knee replacement and our step in tub is very difficult for him to get into. We had purchased a transfer bench and used it a few times, but it wasn't best as it sits low enough on its highest setting to still make it difficult for him to get off of. He is 6' 8" and weighs 315 lbs. This tension rod, placed between the floor and ceiling at the head of the tub by the faucets enables him to feel safe and stabilized as he steps into the tub. It is very secure and does not have any give to it. There are screw holes in the bottom plate to screw into a floor if needed. We have ceramic tile so that would not work, but it wasn't needed anyway.

Since August 2018 my mother has lost her mobility and is now wheelchair bound. At 102 years old she has lost most of her upper body and leg strength and getting her up and down became very difficult and I needed some way to solve the problem. I found this transfer pole and decided it was the best way to help her but there was still no guarantee it would work. We installed the pole in the bathroom next to the toilet so she could pull herself up from the wheelchair and we could transfer her. It took some trial and error for a few days to find the best way for her to lift herself but we have it down to a science now. With it working so well I ordered another pole to put next to her lift chair. When that made a difference, I ordered a third one for next to her bed. The added plus to the pole is the fact that the “S” grab bar can be repositioned where needed and locks as a safety feature. It is very easy to install and is secure against the ceiling and floor although I tighten it from time to time as a safety precaution because mom does pull on it out of her fear of falling. There is no need for a fourth or fifth pole but if needed I would not hesitate to order again. Life at 102 years old is tough but these poles have helped tremendously and I highly recommend!
