Disabled Adaptations

Disabled Adapted Kitchens

Homes are meant to be places where you can feel relaxed, comfortable, and do what we please. This is often take for granted, but this wish is not always so simple for wheelchair users. The home can present a number of challenges in carrying out tasks that many of us think nothing of. Kitchens particularly are a vital element of the house, but for wheelchair users who value their independence the kitchen can provide some major frustrations.

Kitchens can be modified or replaced with design features so that major kitchen functions can be carried out by wheelchair users. This is often the type of work undertaken by Herts Property Solutions Ltd.

Level Access Showers

Being able to get around the bathroom is one of the keys to an independent lifestyle, and manufacturers are responding to this with a wide variety of products to help.

Showers are much easier to use than baths together with a textured surface that will help prevent slips. Another increasingly popular method is wet floor shower areas as an alternative to fitting a shower tray – this provides completely open and level access. They are ideal for wheelchair users, and a good choice where it is not practical to install a tray.

Close-o-Mat Toilets

The Clos-o-Mat Palma Vita automatic WC shower toilet provides flushing, washing and warm air drying from one simple operation. It is user-friendly for people who have restricted use of their hands. By reducing hand contact, it also provides improved hygiene for all users.

The Lima Lift automatic WC shower toilet provides flushing, washing and warm air drying from one simple operation. In addition to this the Lima Lift is height adjustable making it ideally suited to multi-user situations, as it features finger-tip control via an infra-red remote to adjust the height up and down.
