Published: 11 September 2015
Being able to get on and off the toilet safely and independently is the second most common struggles within the disabled bathing market that as a supply and installer of solutions, we must overcome.
There are a number of solutions available that vary in degree of bespoke-ability and assisted support meaning regardless of someone’s disability there is a sanitary ware solution to their toileting problem and further bathing woes.
All solutions offer the same core features and benefits including, safer and easier bathing, independence which in turn enhances dignity and provides peace of mind to the individual and all concerned.
Options for bespoke disabled toilet systems include:
Auto Bidet Toilets
Also referred to as a ‘wash & dry toilet’ and ‘auto shower toilet’ do exactly as described in the various titles – they are used in a toilet / waste function with the added benefit of having a built in, automatic, wash and dry function.
These toilets are commonly taller in height making getting on and off easier, solving the initial problem, with additional side supports / hand rails to help lift. Auto Bidet Toilets are the bespoke system of choice for people who struggle cleaning themselves following use typically as a result of a number of health conditions including arthritis, muscular dystrophy, severe MS and Parkinson diseases and amputee’s.
Height powered toilets
This type of bespoke disabled toilet system would work best for you depends entirely on what problems you are looking to solve and what situation you are in in terms of further enhancing your existing toilet system or requiring a brand new unit.
We would recommend speaking with an occupation therapist / health care professional with regards to attaining a home assessment to really understand the problems you are facing. Furthermore, speaking with a specialist provider and installer of such systems, like ourselves, can be beneficial in terms of highlighting specific features, advantages and solutions with the added benefit of ‘try before you buy’ if they have a dedicated showroom.
