Towel grab bar

Very nice, I used it outside the shower to keep the towel within reach but still dry

Linda Ansley
Towel Grab Bar
Great find!

AskSamie was the only supplier I could find that carried anything close to what I needed and at an affordable price. I purchased a set for my mom and a set for myself for our shower benches, and they work perfect. Thank you AskSamie!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this equipment covered by Medicare?

Mostly no. Unfortunately medicare only pays for services that are deemed to be medically necessary based on specific diagnoses. Since grab bars and other home modifications can be useful to all people (regardless of a diagnosis), Medicare will not cover these expenses.

There is a process for getting durable medical equipment (DME) covered. This includes hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen and patient lifts. Download our resource guide for step by step instructions on how to do that here.

If you'd like more detailed information check out this detailed blog post from the occupational therapists at Toilet Talk!

What about private insurance. Will they cover adaptive equipment?

Every plan is different so it's always worth asking. However, most insurance plans have similar rules to Medicare and therefore do not cover adaptive equipment.

Do you rent equipment?

No, but we do have partners regionally that rent equipment and we are adding to that list frequently. Message us and we may have a location to connect you with in your area!

How do I get it installed?

We've intentionally chosen the products on our site because they are user friendly and easy to install. If you have anyone in your life that can handle a screwdriver and is able bodied to get in the right space they can probably do it. But if you need to hire someone Find a Contractor through our partnership with VGM Live at Home.

Why don't you have as many options as Amazon?

We've been intentional about curating which brands and styles of products are offered at AskSAMIE to things that meet the following:

  • User-friendly
  • Easy to install
  • We've seen it in action

This is part of why we can recommend it highly as occupational therapy professionals; because we've recommended them to our own clients in our past work in settings like home health, acute care hospitals and rehab clinics and we know it works well.
