DESCRIPTION OF REQUESTED SERVICES: The individual is a 60-year-old female and is diagnosed with spinal stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis.

She is able to bear weight for transfers. She has a shower chair with wheels but the shower in her current bathroom has a 5” lip. The bathroom is too small for staff to safely transfer her into the shower chair if were put right inside the shower space and she cannot navigate the lip.
