This safety rail attaches directly to the toilet and goes underneath the seat, so it only requires a few inches on each side of the toilet to fit.

The frame supports up to 300 pounds of weight, and the height is adjustable between 17 and 20 inches high, so it accommodates seniors of varying heights and sizes.

The non-slip grips on the armrests are great for seniors that need something sturdy to grab onto when they are raising or lowering themselves onto the seat. These grips are well-padded and comfortable to hold which seniors with arthritis will surely appreciate.

The aluminum frame mounts directly to the bowl by removing the toilet seat and using the existing hardware from the toilet to secure it in place. It is easy to install for seniors, and once everything is in place, it does not slide around. Seniors will appreciate the sturdiness and feel secure as they lift and lower themselves onto the seat.

Some users find that toilet safety rails are too close together, which makes getting up and down from the toilet more difficult, but these rails have an adjustable width as well as height. You can expand the width from 18 to 24 inches.

If cleaning is something you are concerned about the rail swivels at the back of the seat, so you can lift the feet easily to clean underneath them.

We find that these standalone frames offer seniors aging in place the most ideal support. They have an entire frame built into them, allowing users to put their weight down without worry. The unit is very sturdy; if there’s a drawback, it’s the size.

These types of safety rails take up a large amount of space, so it requires you to have enough room on both sides of your toilet to install comfortably.

The plus side here is that the unit can be easily broken down into multiple pieces, allowing users to store it when you do not need it around and quickly re-assemble it when you do. The ability to break the unit down makes it portable, which is another major plus for caregivers who may need to move it around regularly.

Assembly is simple, and there is a side storage area for reading the material or other things you like to do while you’re sitting down.
