There is a lot to take into consideration when planning a
bathroom for a disable person. Ultimately, there are only two things that
really matter:
1)
Making the bathroom experience
safer
2) Making the bathroom experience easier and more comfortable
While safety is obviously a primary concern, ease of
bathing should not be overlooked. Once a person becomes disabled, using a
bathroom can become a nightmare; especially if assistance from a nurse or family
member is required. As bathing becomes more difficult, it is common to see a
person let their personal hygiene go by the wayside as they avoid cleaning
themselves and using the bathroom. Inability to bathe without assistance will
damage a persons pride and eventually make them avoid using the bathroom.
