Folding shower bench
The client was a double leg amputee and to shower he needed a larger area to manoeuvre on than is available with a normal shower chair. Whatever was developed needed to fold up to maximise the limited space in the bathroom.
The bathroom was already equipped with a shower chair, which folded up against the wall. The chair back and plastic seat were removed and a slatted bench was constructed from hardwood and fitted to the chair ‘chassis’. This enabled the bench to fold up against the wall.
The client can roll around and wash himself with ease and the bathroom space was not compromised.
Hello
I have a client that needs a customised shower bench, is a wheelchair user, and transfers independently and has a wet room. Can you please advise, can arrange a joint visit at the clients home if necessary.
Hi Anne, the first step would be for you or your client to complete our referral form: http://www.remap.org.uk/help. We can then see if this is something we can help with and whether a joint visit needs to be arranged.
