To See Larger PicturesYour bathroom can be modified or redesigned for wheelchair access. Modifications to the bathroom will help avoid injury and is our most requested service.
Let's start at the bathroom door. Why do architects design, and builders insist on installing a 24" door to the bathroom? Wheelchairs need a minimum 32" door for a straight in approach. If the doorway is located in a typical hallway and requires turning a wheelchair, you'll need a 36" door. Doors can be widened for wheelchair and walker access. We remove the existing door unit, framed opening, install a new wider door unit and repair the finished flooring. With our experience, sometimes installing offset hinges can be enough to open door an inch or so. Bathtubs can be very hazardous. Transfering from a wheelchair to the tub can be difficult. The tub area must be carefully designed to provide maximum safety. Grab bars, Tub transfer seats allow persons to sit in the tub and take a bath or shower without having to lower themselves into the tub. Rollin Shower can be a solution to accessing and showering with out leaving your chair (using a shower chair on wheels makes bathing less troublesome. Taking out the tub and installing new tile floor with correct pitching in floor to allow wheeling in with your wheelchair. using a hand held shower device sliding on a pole will increase your ability to be more independent. We also install a small half wall on shower head side to help with containing water and preventing unwanted splashing outside shower area. |
