What to Expect in a Bathing Mobility Consultation
During a bathroom mobility consultation, our professionals assess your current bathroom and listen to your specific needs. We may recommend solutions like walk-in baths, low-level access showers, or wet rooms that prioritise accessibility, comfort, and practicality. The appointment is typically tailored to ensure that any recommendations fit both the individual mobility requirements and the space available.
How to Prepare for a Mobility Bathroom Consultation
We’re experts in knowing the best ways to enhance your bathroom for mobility. Some of the ways you can help prepare for your mobility bathroom consultation include:
- Understand Mobility Needs: Before the consultation, take some time to reflect on the specific challenges faced by the bathroom user. Consider the daily difficulties of the current bathroom, accessibility concerns, and any pre-existing health conditions that require extra care.
- Explore Potential Solutions: Familiarise yourself with accessible bathroom options. Consider which features might be most useful, such as walk-in baths, walk-in showers, or wet rooms.
- Measure and Photograph Your Current Bathroom: To make the most of your consultation, provide accurate details about the size and layout of your bathroom. Taking measurements and photographs will help the mobility specialist create the most effective design plan.
Choosing the Right Accessible Bathing Solution
Your chosen accessible bathroom should be safe, comfortable, and tailored to the user’s unique needs. Work closely with your consultant during the process to finalise essential elements, including material choices, safety features, and optional extras. Our top accessible bathing solutions include:
- Walk-In Showers: Experience the blend of practicality and sophistication with our walk-in showers. With their minimal rise tray and one or two partitions, walk-in showers enhance the feeling of spaciousness. With no doors and ample room, these showers meet broader mobility needs.
- Wet Rooms: Wet rooms have floor drains, removing the need for doors or shower partitions. Their open-plan layout makes them a fashionable choice and a space saver in the bathroom.
- Walk-in Baths: Walk-in baths have step-in access to eliminate the need to climb into a bath. Non-slip flooring and grab bars boost the safety of a walk-in bath. You can enjoy multiple walk-in bath options to ensure your needs are met.
Post-Consultation Checklist
Our team is always here to answer questions about your mobility concerns. After your consultation, it’s important to review the customised bathroom design shared by the consultant and confirm that the recommended solutions address current and projected mobility needs. Once you determine the most effective mobility solutions for your home, we can get to work creating your new bathroom.
