Somerset Disabled Bathroom Fitters Living Needs, have a showroom based in Barnstaple, and supply and install disabled bathrooms throughout Devon, Somerset and Cornwall.
Living Needs have experience in the manufacture and installation of home adaptations which extends to bathroom conversions, kitchen adaptations and access aids.
Many disabled and elderly individuals end up avoiding the bathroom at all costs, leading to all sorts of problems including poor personal hygiene. Using proper design techniques, an accessible bathroom can restore pride and allow an individual to live their life in a far more normal manner.

There are two primary considerations when designing a disabled bathroom:
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, when designing the disabled bathroom.
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. A custom "independent living" bathroom design will often allow a disabled individual to bathe without the assistance of another person. |

The walk-in or level access showers available from Living Needs are ideal for those with mobility difficulties. Walk-in showers, stand-alone cubicles, wet floor shower areas and door/tray combinations are designed for private domestic homes, or residential care homes.
Adapt your shower or bath to provide a more relaxing experience by including shower seats, enclosures, carer screens or even a body dryer. Body driers produce a jet of warm air that can be used to dry a person so that they need not stand to dry all areas of the body. For safety and comfort we provide completely level access showers and bathroom non-slip flooring.
