Product Information

Bath temperature indicators show when the temperature of the bath or wash hand basin is above a safe level by changing colour or giving a reading of the water temperature. Shower boards, stools and chairs are made from non-corrodible materials so that it does not matter if they get wet. When considering shower seating, consider the seat height . If you can sit comfortably with your feet supported, you are less likely to slide forwards in the chair. Wall-fixed shower chairs can be fixed at the appropriate height, free-standing chairs and stools may have height adjustable legs. Many mobile chairs have adjustable height footrests to provide support. With the help of the Age Co group, Handicare has carefully selected a range of walk in showers to restore your independence when showering. It is easy to take everyday tasks for granted until your personal mobility is reduced. With limited mobility, tasks like showering can provide much greater risk of slipping or falling. When investing in an easy-access shower, washing without discomfort will once again become accessible. Although many cubicles are installed with sealed shower doors to minimise water spillage into the surrounding area, a pump will often be added to draw the water actively towards the drain. It is advisable to have some waterproof flooring immediately outside the area of the cubicle. A vertical rail at least 500mm long can be fixed at the entrance to the shower compartment for use when stepping in and out of the cubicle. The rail should be mounted at a height that the user can comfortably reach whilst stood both from outside the cubicle and from in the cubicle.

This type of shower uses pre-heated water from your home’s boiler or hot water tank, but has thermostatic controls which automatically compensate for any changes in water pressure. This ensures that if someone turns on the cold water tap elsewhere in the house, the person in the shower will not get scalded. In many areas a range of simple aids to daily living may be available on a prescription, issued by the assessor. If you receive a prescription for equipment you can take it to a local accredited retailer, which may be a local pharmacy, who will provide you with the item. You can pay extra for an alternative item, so long as it does what the specific item prescribed would do. Your choice may offer extra features, or perhaps you prefer its appearance. Shower/bath steps can be used to provide a step-like platform outside a raised shower tray/cubicle, lessening the height which you need to lift your legs to get into the cubicle. However, they are not suitable for people who have difficulty keeping their balance, and they will not help you to lift your legs out from a deep shower tray.They have an element (like an electric kettle) connected to the electricity supply which heats the water as it flows through the unit. The water temperature from an electric shower may fluctuate if the water flow to the shower is reduced, perhaps when someone else runs a tap. Temperature stabilised electric showers help to reduce the likelihood of these fluctuations, but if you require a guaranteed constant temperature you should consider a thermostatic electric shower. Before installing a rail, you must ensure that the wall you fix it too is strong enough to support the rail and the weight placed on it Digital shower controls allow you to programme your desired temperature etc. They incorporate thermostatic controls to prevent temperature variations. It is usual to have a second remote control unit so that the shower can be controlled from a distance. This can be useful for a carer. A level access shower is a shower area that doesn’t have a step or lip in any way to enter the showering area. This means that people with all levels of mobility can enter the shower, from children through to grandparents and wheelchair users alike. Often entering a shower cubicle will require you to take a step upwards into it. Depending on your strength and balance it can be advisable to have a grab rail fitted to the wall to steady yourself when entering or using the shower. To eliminate this need a level access shower may be chosen which has the base almost flush with the floor. If you need to use a shower stool or chair, you must ensure that you still have adequate space to get into the cubicle and position yourself suitably. If you require the assistance of a carer, consider the space they may need to move, position and care for you.

Shower trolleys have side supports and there is often a drain outlet in the foot-end to allow the water to run out, often through a hose to control the surrounding environment. They are designed for people with very high care needs and do require significant space in the shower area. Both our shower trays and wet room formers have falls in them at the perfect gradient that means that when water lands on them, it automatically runs down towards the drain/waste where it can leave the shower area. If you require assistance to shower there is more space, but your carer may get rather wet if there is no protection against the water. Waist height, wall-fixed or portable shower screens may be useful in this situation. Walk in showers are generally in a cubicle and are independent from the rest of the bathroom. Some models feature toughened safety glass around the outside of the shower and raised shower trays. Wet rooms are a popular choice for many modern bathrooms, but they normally do not include shower trays and the water instead flows directly into a drain in the floor. There are models which come with wet room screens, but the space will need to be waterproofed and will need a tiled floor and walls. Wet rooms are great disability showers as they allow wheelchair users enough space to move around as they wash. How much space for a walk in shower or wet room? Within the range of walk in showers we have available, there are showers for disabled people and models which are perfect for older adults who struggle with their mobility but are still able to move around. You can look at walk in showers with shower seats, as these models are great for people who struggle to stand in a shower. Alternatively, a walk in wet room is a great choice for people who are wheelchair users and require access or who are in need of a model without step in shower trays.Mobile combined shower, over toilet and commode chairs (sometimes called sanichairs) can be used in a shower but are also designed as mobile chairs with an aperture or hinged toilet seat for use over a toilet. Definitely not, whether you have a recessed shower tray or wet room former, the style of the room can be made to look however the resident wishes. A wet room can use stylish tiling to create a luxury finish or can have non-slip safety flooring in a huge range of colours to suit any taste. A shower tray similarly, with tiled walls and a stylish glass shower screen, can look like the bathroom from a boutique hotel. The days of institutionalised looking bathrooms are long gone. Are level access showers difficult to install? They provide splash protection for carers and are usually 750mm or 900mm in height so the carer can reach over them. A BEAB CARE Mark approved product will ensure stable outlet water temperatures under normal supply variations. In addition, the product will protect from scalding under rapid and abnormal supply variations, without adjustment by the user.

Team this with a well-installed shower screen and the bathroom should be in no danger of flooding. Do level access showers look ugly? Shower trolleys are effectively height adjustable platforms on a wheeled frame where you lie on a padded surface whilst being showered by one or two carers. A bath/shower step can also be used to split the height of the step into the cubicle into two steps. These are the most common type of shower tray available from most standard plumbers’ merchants and DIY chains. However, they may not be suitable for many users’ needs due to the high threshold step. They have a retaining 'barrier' at the lower front edge to stop the water from flowing out onto the floor - you need sufficient balance and mobility to step over this.

Level Access Showers

Although it is possible to transfer from a wheelchair onto an extended seat, a ramped or level access tray is usually much easier and safer. If you are struggling with caring for yourself, or your carer is struggling to provide care for you, consider asking for a health and social care needs assessment. Since the Care Act 2014came into power in April 2015, anyone who appears to need care and support can request an assessment from their local council, irrespective of their income or savings. The Act also places a statutory duty on local authorities and the NHS to support individuals to take steps to prevent their ill health or care requirements from getting worse. These strategies for prevention can include the early provision of equipment and services to help prevent, delay or reduce the development of further need for care and support, which may include showering equipment, depending on the cost. And then, of course, there’s personal preference. Some people really need to feel clean and fresh no matter what, so a camping shower can only be an enhancement, whereas, for some others, that may not be as important – especially if they are out and about in the wild. Age Co and Handicare have worked together to provide a specially selected walk in shower range that caters for individual needs and personal tastes. The range of walk in shower enclosures and walk in shower seats are perfect for those looking for safer showering experiences for their home. From wet room showers with shower seats to easy access showers, you’re sure to find a walk in shower that will suit your needs. Remove the grid over the drain. This is usually done by rotating the grid, then lifting the grid out of the hole

This is a common myth, but one that simply isn’t true… as long as you’ve got a well-trained and fully competent installer. If you are an installer, then you’ve no need to worry – the process of installing a level access shower is made much more simple with our recess-able shower trays and wet room formers. If you have difficulty lifting your legs over the bath rim when attempting seated bath transfers on a shower board or swivel chair, a leg lifter may help. We also offer a 30 day change of mind return on most products (some exclusions apply due to health & hygenie control policies). As the bench extends outside of the edge of the bath it is more difficult to keep the shower water in the bath, even using a shower curtain. A transfer bench does not require support on the bath rim on the far side of the bath, so may be useful when this is not available.
