1 Ingenious bathroom solutions now and in the future For more than 30 years Pressalit Care has worked to diminish limitations with knowledge, products and advice. The objective is a better life for people with disabilities, a better working environment for those who help them and a better, longer term solution for managements that invest in the facilities. The unique track system makes it possible to: Adjust the horzontal and vertical position of the products Adapt the products to small and poorly designed bathrooms Create more space when needed The way we attack this task is summed up in two words: keep living!

2 2 Room configuration The three areas of the bathroom The key to a functional bathroom is a systematic evaluation of the room s potential and the user and carer s needs. An examination needs to be made of space requirements, turning areas, and the typical manoeuvres at the washing, toileting and showering areas of the bathroom. TOILETING Using support arms which are both vertically as well as horisontally adjustable enables different users to find the proper support when using the toilet. The length and stability of the support arms provide security during tranfers to and from the toilet. WASHING Having the correct height to wash can be critical to many people. The wash basin bracket is ideal if many people share the wash basin. Users who need to sit or stand have the best opportunity to be independent - and thus to achieve greater dignity and satisfaction - when the wash basin can be adjusted to the correct height at all times. SHOWERING A high degree of flexibility is the key when designing a functional bathroom. Using a shower seat which is both vertically and horisontally adjustable means that good working height can be obtained for the carer while the user sits in the chair. Adding a hand and shower rail corner with a shower mixer bracket means that both right as well as left-handed users needs can be accomodated. The chair can be used to create space for user as well as carer. Contact us, if you have questions or need inspiration and guidance in your process of planning your next functional bathroom.
