Moen Smart Shower
A Safer Showering Experience
Taking a shower is part of a daily hygiene routine that will change as you grow older. Inevitably, range of motion diminishes making it harder to wash, poor balance and slick surfaces create a fear of falling, and joint pain can make standing for long periods a challenge. Because asking for assistance with this life activity is akin to admitting the loss of control over their independence, it's not uncommon for seniors to become disheartened in a way that they begin to shower less regularly or not at all.
To accommodate many of these changing needs, age-in-place seniors will often remodel a bathroom with safety in mind. Although designs that include spa-like features may seem like extravagant options, bear in mind that they also provide conveniences that make it safer for seniors to shower. Water/Temp controls can be uniquely placed where they’re more accessible (no more reaching for or twisting knobs to turn the shower on), scalding water can be avoided because the temperature can be precisely regulated, and well-positioned sprays make cleaning efficient and easier to achieve.
The heart of many of these features requires a sophisticated controller and the Moen Smart Shower is one of the best. It preheats water to a precise temperature and then alerts you through its app that your shower is ready, it can direct water to multiple sprays (showerhead, hand spray, wall sprays), and has the flexibility of mounting the controller up to 30 feet away from the shower. Additional features also include voice control over its functions and personalized features for temperature and spray patterns.
The price of the Moen Smart Shower Controller has come down considerably since its introduction and their selection of designer grab bars and teak fold-down seats helps to complete a safer showering experience. Considering these capabilities, Moen’s Smart Shower Controller and accessories shouldn’t be seen as an extravagance, but perhaps a better way to extend personal independence a little longer.
