In the aging-in-place home, it’s important for your loved one to have a shower head that is versatile to perfectly fit their shower head style, and also adjust to the ideal height and angle. Making sure the shower head extension is easy to adjust and high quality to ensure no leaking or breaks is also key.
The Best Shower Head Extensions
Hotel Spa 11″ Shower Extension Arm
The 11″ Shower Extension Arm from the Hotel Spa Store is a versatile option. The adjustable shower arm can fit any shower head or hand-held shower. It features a 2 foot vertical movement range to adjust perfectly to any height or angle. No tools are needed to assemble the shower arm extension, and a thick washer that is included ensures to water leakage.
Couer Designs 16″ Shower Extension
This shower head extension arm is heavy duty and can hold large rain and hand-held shower heads. There are two size options available, 11″ or 16″, and both can add up to 9″ of extended shower height to reach the perfect spot. The arm can extend at the base or where the shower head is connected, so it’s easy to adjust to the correct specific spot.
Purelux Extra Long Stainless Steel Shower Arm
If your loved one has a rain style shower head, this is a great option to use to extend the arm straight into the shower. The arm is 16″ in length and sticks straight out from the wall where it is attached. It is made from stainless steel, and has a bright, reflective chrome finish. This arm does not adjust to different angles or heights, but is perfect for the true rain shower head experience.
Delta Faucet 10″ Adjustable Extension Arm
The Delta Faucet 10″ Extension Arm is a 10″ arm made of a reflective chrome finish. It can extend up to 18″ to reach the ideal height and angle for your loved one, and is easy to unscrew and adjust when needed. This arm is easy to install, and is made of durable brass that will last for years.
This shower arm is perfect for your loved ones who may have a heavier shower head, but would still like to adjust it to a different height or angle. Constructed of heavy brass, it has a strong form to support heavy shower heads and even rain shower heads. The Aisoso Shower Extension Arm also has a chrome finish, which adds a sleek look to the aging-in-place bathroom. The arm is 11″ with two swivel joints, making it extremely easy to adjust to the perfect position. It also includes two swing buttons which lock the arm in place for extra security.
If you’re loved one doesn’t need a great amount of adjusting, the Purelux Shower Arm Extension is a reliable pick that will get the job done. Measuring at just 6 1/2”, this extender serves two purposes. It can extend the shower arm by 6 inches, perfect for the rain shower heads to make sure the water falls in the right place. The extender can also lower and extend a showerhead by 5 inches. It can connect to a shower arm that is already attached to the wall and lower the showerhead to the correct height. This shower arm extension is made of stainless steel and very sturdy.
The YJROOMS High Arc Shower Arm is an interesting shape, much different than the average shower head extension, as it is shaped in a high arc instead of a straight line. The arc shape is extremely beneficial, especially with a rain shower head, and helps face the shower head downwards. The arm reaches out 17.8 inches and is 16.4 inches high and is made of stainless steel that is strong enough to hold good quality shower heads.
What should you do now?
Making sure you can find an adjustable, sturdy, and high quality shower head extension for your loved one’s aging-in-place bathroom is key.

There are many options to consider, but I hope this guide made it easier to narrow down the list!

One of the reasons why we recommend products on Amazon is that oftentimes the product you need is either out of stock or on backorder from the manufacturer or third-party site. I find Amazon to be much more reliable when I need a product fast because they have access to so many sellers.
