For aging loved ones, many indoor and outdoor areas that were once easily accessible are becoming harder to reach.
It could be a kitchen cabinet, or even a bathroom shelf. Maybe it’s the stepping distance from the pavement to the interior of a van.
Rather than tell ourselves or our loved ones that these places are no longer accessible or safe, what if we could make these reaches and steps possible?
The Shure-Step Safe Step Stool has everything for safe stepping, including a non-slip surface of sandpaper material and a strong wedge based design with non-skid pads to help prevent slipping accidents. Shure Step offers a wide selection of innovative step-stools in order to prevent falling and skidding, and keep the ones you love independent and active well into their years.
When finding no-fuss ways to get a quick leg up, people will use various household items to get the job done fast. Things like books, milk crates, chairs, upside-down buckets, and indoor stools used outdoors always carry the possibility of a fall or bone break. This would certainly create inconvenience over a much longer period of time!
The difference between a regular, store-bought step-stool and a Shure-Step Safe Step Stool is the offer of safety.
One of the best on the market due to it’s durability, the Shure Step is capable of supporting a 500 pound weight load and is designed with a wide, non-slip sandpapery surface. Rubber pads on the stools bottom keep the Shure Step from sliding on slick, wet floors.
Sure, there are plenty of different step-stools out in the market today. Folding, wooden, plastic, and metal step-stools are some of the standards - but none are proven to be as durable as Shure-Step Safe Step Stools.
Schure Steps is accredited with many different companies including but not limited to United Airlines, Chrysler, US Airways, Piggly Wiggly Grocery Stores, Boeing, Ford Motor Company, Greyhound Bus, and Winn-Dixie Grocery stores.
Buying a product you’ve never personally tested can leave some people with reservations; fortunately, it can be enormously comforting knowing that so many reputable companies employ these stools to ensure the safety of their customers.
"Such a simple product that makes a huge difference. Much more sturdy than a step stool. I highly recommend this product." - Kristin M., Rehabmart.com
"This product works great getting my Mom in and out of a vehicle. Lightweight but sturdy. Safe and easier on both of us!" - Road Trip Buddies, Rehabmart.com
"This step is incredibly sturdy, and well made! The non skid surface is like no other. Used by my mother to get into my SUV. There are many step stools out there, but they are too high. Each step is usually 8 or more inches high. Many elderly people cannot step up that high, including my mother! This is the ONLY (stool) that is a perfect height! Thank you Rehabmart and Shure Step for the perfect product. Saw this on Facebook and glad I did! The delivery time was excellent as well!" - Paula, Rehabmart.com
"An extremely helpful device. Its sturdiness and non-slip top surface go far beyond anything I could have made myself with crates (not reliable) or wood (too heavy). It may seem like a lot of money to spend on a "box," but my wifes safety in light of its advantages far outstrips the cost." - Winfried C., Rehabmart.com
