Non wheelchair users will take life’s luxuries like using the toilet, having a shower or taking a bath for granted. Everyone needs to visit the bathroom a number of times everyday, so making sure the bathroom is wheelchair user friendly is one of the first necessary modifications to make. 

Let’s tackle going to the toilet first. Installing a Locking Elevated Toilet Seat with Removable Arms or Toilet Safety Frame, will make it a lot easier for a wheelchair user, to position themselves on the toilet, support themselves with the arms and maneuver themselves off the toilet as well.  If this is not a suitable solution, there are also a variety of commodes available that could be placed near the bed, or sitting area ready for use.  These commodes don’t have to look out of place. 

A “U” Shaped Shower Chair With Back is a great help to place in the bath, or shower unit for added support whilst taking a shower, as its lightweight, corrosion free and very stable. Also a Deluxe Handheld Shower Spray with Diverter Valve makes it easier to take a shower. 

Some things that can be installed to make it easier to take a bath, are simply putting an extra long bath mat in the bath, which helps safety by preventing slippage in the bath, with a multitude of suction pads keeping it place.  Also grab bars can be placed on strategic places around the bath to aid getting in and out of it.   

For added assistance getting in and out of a bath, than an I Class Transfer Bench would be ideal, as transfer benches have an extended edge that goes over the bathtub.  They have a good seating area, arm rails, backrest and adjustable leg heights.  

This is just some of the equipment, which can make the bathroom an easier place to access for a wheelchair user.
