HELP WITH BATHING

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Do you need HELP WITH BATHING have you considered EASY ACCESS SHOWERS as an alternative to disabled baths. What ever your decision it must be safe to use and afford you the dignity you deserve.
It’s a fact that we all grow older and some of us may develop special needs through a disability or just because as we age we need a little HELP WITH BATHING.
There are many problems with the present designs of baths and SHOWERS.These produces are outdated and they fail to meet the physical needs of the aging population. Adaptive bolt ons such as fixed seats and grab handles are not the solution, they highlight failures in conventional designs and the problems remain unresolved.
The design team at INDEPENDENCE SHOWERS who came from the automotive industry have approached the problem in a different way. HELP WITH BATHING and simplicity has been the theme we have followed,ensuring whilst in the shower everything is easy to operate and within reach. Your transfer from a wheelchair or not,into the SHOWER is effortless,by sitting in the seat,gliding into the SHOWER over the threshold without the need for stepping, allowing you to turn through 360 degrees so that you can enjoy washing all round and when bathing is completed you simply glide back out.
We have engineered the SHOWER so that the seat easily lifts out so that it transforms into an elegant en-suite SHOWER for abled bodied use. The design ensures that the installation is made simple and can be achieved within a working day. This SHOWER that gives which has been especially developed to give HELP WITH BATHING will remain LEAK PROOF and MAINTENANCE FREE. Please visit our web site at www.independence-showers.co.uk. Don’t settle for anything but the best.

Difficulty Bathing? Invest In A Disabled Shower

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Different aspects of every day tasks can become more difficult if your mobility is limited. There are many advanced aids that are available now to make sure daily tasks such as walking, climbing stairs and getting out and about in towns and cities are possible.

However, there are now disabled aids for bathing, to make those who find it difficult to enter and exit showers and baths feel comfortable and (more importantly) safe. There are specialist companies that provide bathing equipment that helps showering a whole lot easier.

Before now disabled showers tended to just be wet rooms, walk in baths and ramp entry shower trays. These are still excellent ways of bathing for those that need a little extra help, but seated showers help disabled people who want to be self sufficient do so by being so easy to use as well as safe and reliable.

The equipment includes;
•    Seated Disability Showers – These showers have a removable seat and for easy access it swings 360 degrees. This helps you move in the shower without having to worry about their mobility of feel unsafe whilst bathing.

•    Versatility; The removable seat makes the shower usable by everyone. Not only for a disabled person but the versatility means others can use the regular shower y taking out the seat.

•    Locking System: the locking mechanism of the removable seat means that you can feel secure when bathing and not worry about turning or holding the seat in a fixed position, the lock is there to ensure you are comfortable.

•    Variety: Choosing the showers need not disrupt your décor. The showers are available in different colours, sizes and even choose your own doors. Speak to your supplier and discuss these options.
Disabled showers are a unique way to make you that little more independent. It is essential for some people to know there are options for those who are looking to find a solution to disabled bathing.
