A few months ago I installed grab bars on the wall on each side of
the toilet. When they are not being used, they fold up against the
wall. Each bar is a loop with the bottom offset inward and below the
top - I use the lower level initially and switch to the upper to
transfer to my walker or the wheelchair.
The bars are made by Healthcraft Products of Ottawa, models PT-WR32R
and PT-WR32L.

I bought the pair from ActiveForever for 342.70 including shipping,
but I cannot find the web reference. Here's another source:

These bars are STURDY. They are speced at 350 pounds each. I know I
have lurched against them and dragged myself up by pulling.
I recommend them.
