In this video, Paul shows how he showers without assistance. Stroke survivors are often unsteady on their feet and need to be conscious of their movements. Paul shows how he sets up his environment in a way that makes the most sense for him to shower.

Things we used to set up Paul's shower:
1. Grab bars: https://amzn.to/37YbM5D
2. Longer grab bars: https://amzn.to/2v0Y6sa
3. Shower anti-slip tape: https://amzn.to/2txtOgm
4. Hand-held shower head: https://amzn.to/3b8ZN7r
5. Long-handled Loofah: https://amzn.to/36YeEyi (Paul likes this one better than the wooden handled one we originally purchased. This has a loofah on one side and a brush on the other side)
6. Suction hook to hang your loofah: https://amzn.to/2Sjj6SN
7. Soap and Shampoo dispenser: https://amzn.to/2vHLYMX (Paul prefers the bottles now, but we have this in our hall bathroom and it has stayed up for 1.5 years so far without coming off the wall)
8. Soap Dish: https://amzn.to/2RVBK4m (Paul uses this to put his washcloth on and then put soap on the washcloth if he's poring soap from a bottle)
