Redecorating rooms isn’t just for eye appeasement, but for functionality as well. Think about how much easier you can make your bathroom. You can make it so that it’s less painful to use.
Here’s how you can go about accomplishing this task…
1 Install lever faucets: Having a lever faucet gets rid of the twisting and turning that can be difficult for the elderly. There are hundreds of different styles to choose from, including foot operated faucets.
2 Sprayer attachment for shower-head: A shower-head that you can detach and hold in your hand makes bathing easy. It eliminates the need to stand while showering, certainly a bonus for those who have problems standing for long periods.
3 Install grab bars and rails: Installing bars and rails in the shower, bathtub, and near the toilet makes all of the above easier, not just for the elderly person, but for the caregiver as well.
4 Raise the height of the toilet: Simply raising the toilet’s height as little as three inches can make all the difference for seniors. For example, you can simply raise the height of your existing toilet with a thick toilet seat.
5 Curb-less showers: For the seniors that can’t lift their legs, putting in a curbless shower can be a lifesaver. A curbless shower can make the transition from wheelchair to shower seat simple.
