She went on to say – “The shower cubicle is so much better than what we had before, not only does it look great, but it is much more hygienic and easy to clean.”

The product has also been reviewed by Mr. M. Melaugh - Chief Executive at Age Concern in Leicester and he was particularly impressed with the product.

Mr Melaugh commented “There is a pressing need for a good value for money and safe solution for the showering/bathing needs of older people with mobility problems.”

“For many, a walk in shower is just too costly and the Independence Showers cubicle represents a modern, well designed and lower cost alternative”

Disabled Showers for Plumbers

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

If you are a PLUMBER and need to install a DISABLED BATHING facility an EASY ACCESS SHOWER could be the answer. The Independence Shower is safe to use and is totally suitable for disabled,and elderly people. It’s a fact that we will 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.
 The fundamental purpose of bathing is to maintain the health and physical well being of the body. While most young able-bodied people do not think twice about taking a bath or shower,bathing is more time consuming and more hazardous for older people or those with disabilities.
 Physiolgically bathing allows cleansing of the skin and the removal of accumulated foreign matter.Bathing displaces dead skin, prevents irritations and rashes that would otherwise transform into infections,and washes away waste materials that can interfere with the normal functioning of the skin. Bathing maintains dignity through cleanliness,appearance,and it refreshes,revives and relaxes through the washing process.
 Getting in the bath or shower is the most critical aspect of bathing independently.It is also the most difficult aspect of providing care. Poor balance and fear of falling greatly affects peoples ability to make a safe transfers. Awkward bath and shower shapes,inadequate maneuvering and slippery floor conditions greatly adds to the problem.
 There are many problems with the present designs of baths and showers.These products are outdated and they fail to meet the physical needs of the aging population. Adaptive bolt on’s 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.EASY ACCESS and simplicity has been the theme we have followed,ensuring whilst in the shower everything is easy to reach. Your transfer even 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 able bodied use.The design ensures that the installation is made simple and can be achieve within a working day.This Shower is totally suitable for PLUMBERS as it will remain leakproof maintenance free and carries a 10 year guarantee.  Please visit our web site at www.independence-showers.co.ukDon’t settle for anything but the best.
