I need to purchase two toilet seat lifts for my mother. I need to get arms, so I would like to buy one that already comes with the arms.
However, I need to find one that is only 2" or 3" and that is is the lowest cost but sturdy. So far, most of them are 3.5" (found some around the $70 mark) or I did find one that is is 2" and that costs about $180.
Does anyone know of any 2" models with arms that are around the $70 mark? Or, if you know of any that are significantly cheaper than $181, that would be a start.
I see that many have weight limits of 250 or 300 and that would be more than sufficient. Mom currently weighs 150 and I doubt she'll ever again hit 200.
By the way, Mom has a walker. I kind of wonder if I should just get the elevated seat and if the walker would be sufficient to help her instead of worrying about arms. Unfortunately, Mom often forgets to bring her walker to the bathroom, so I think I probably should make the effort to include the arms.
"For $181, it's probably cheaper to buy a new toilet and buy the arms, separately. I think you can get them from plumbing supply stores."
Of course, if no-one in your house would install the toilet, you have to add the cost of the plumber.
For now, I'd still like to keep it simple and find the elevated seats - I just wanted to pass along the toilet option in case someone else in the same situation is interested.
