SHOWERS FOR HOSPITALS
Monday, August 9th, 2010SHOWERS FOR HOSPITALS can be difficult to use and offer very little dignity to the user.The INDEPENDENCE SHOWER has been especially developed to combat problems that could be experienced with SHOWERS FOR HOSPITALS or BATHING facilities.
Firstly the swivel seat that will suit wheelchair users or those that are semi ambulant simply articulates over the threshold of the SHOWER and then allows the patient to tun through 350 degrees so that they enjoy the total showering procedure and when complete they just glide out.
The major benefits to the users are the sense of Independence and dignity that is essential. The sensation and feeling of exhilaration that a full SHOWER produces.
The advantages for the HOSPITAL management are numerous.
1. EASY TO INSTALL
2. TOTALLY LEAKPROOF
3. MAINTAINENCE FREE
4. PATIENT SATISFACTION
5. NO HIDING PLACE FOR GERMS OR BACTERIA
6. IN MANY CASES ELEVIATES THE NEED FOR ASSISTED BATHING FREEING STAFF FOR OTHER DUTIES
7. NO WATER PROBLEMS OR SMELLS
8. 10 YEAR GUARANTEE
9. Piece of mind that this SHOWERING SYSTEM has been installed as the SHOWER in the UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL NOTTINGHAM and others apart from numerous CARE HOMES and private homes.
