Bathrooms are an absolute necessity in our homes. Unfortunately, bathrooms are also the most dangerous areas of your home. Home safety studies reveal that 80 per cent of falls in the home happen in the bathroom. These falls account for 60 per cent of emergency treatment and 50 per cent of fall-related deaths in individuals age 65 and over.
Modifications Available for
Disabled Bathrooms
Accessible Shower
Our clients have many options when it comes to creating an accessible shower. Removing HOBs, adding shower seats, flexible hoses, and safety bars are just a few of the ways AccessAble Homes can make your bathroom a secure space for you.
Walk-in Shower
Those with mobility difficulties can feel safe in the shower with a walk-in shower. We remove the barriers and add built-in shower seats, lever taps, and non-slip tile.
Accessible Toilet
We have several types of accessible toilets to meet your needs. Based on your abilities and our Occupational Therapist’s suggestions, we may install Easy Height, Ambulant, or Disabled Toilets, to enhance your safety with support bars, non-slip tiles, and lever tapware.
HOB REMOVAL
A HOB is a small step or plinth around the front edge of a shower. It is typically brick that is then tiled over. We often remove these because many people with mobility issues cannot step over them.
Wet Rooms
Our mobility specialists often suggest modifying a bathroom into a wet room. The redesign removes numerous barriers found in traditional bathrooms and makes safety a priority.
We can help
No matter your bathroom modification needs, we can make it the useable bathroom you need. From Showers to Hob Removal, we will customise our renovation for you.
Why are Bathrooms so
Dangerous?
Just about all bathrooms present a mobility challenge. Think about your typical bathroom. It is a relatively tight space and often wet and slippery. There are few ways to stop yourself while falling, and everything in the room has a hard surface. You are very likely to hurt yourself, and quite badly, if you fall in or around the bathtub, shower, toilet, or sink.
To facilitate safer living conditions, many Australians choose to have bathroom modifications for disabled or elderly family members or themselves. AccessAble Homes have the skills and insight to create an accessible bathroom that will be safe and functional for all household members.
What Can Be Done to Make
Bathrooms Safer?
Disabled bathroom designs can help make bathrooms less of a hazard. Laws and building codes governing disabled access bathrooms are helpful when it comes to new construction. However, many people with limited mobility are not in the position to move into newly constructed dwellings. Additionally, the bulk of these laws pertain to the Australian Standards disabled bathroom regulations. These mandates focus on public facilities meeting accessibility guidelines.
