Many potential usage issues arising from an adaptation can be eliminated at the outset, using a new "quick guide."
'Adapting to an Accessible Toilet: Quick Guide to Getting it Right' has been produced and published by Closomat. It is intended to help all those involved in delivery of housing adaptations to ensure an expedient project, in which potential common problems in design, layout and use are addressed at the outset.
Toilet most frequently adapted fixture
"The bathroom is the room most frequently adapted, and the toilet the fixture most frequently changed," explains Robin Tuffley, Closomat marketing manager. "Often, little things may not even be considered, which have a massive impact on the client's ability to retain their independence. It may be something as basic as the toilet roll being within easy reach, the door impeding access for a walking frame or wheelchair, a hoist reaching the areas it needs to.
"We hope that, by covering just ten points, toilet adaptations can be delivered not just without delay, but without usability issues going forward, that result in time-consuming and costly remedials."
