15.01.2022 We're all about the details... Hand held showers and grab rails are great tools to help maintain independence while showering and improve confidence, but have you ever thought how some of the smaller details can contribute to a safe, easy showering experience for people with limited mobility? Here's a couple of other features you might not have thought about: ... Flick mixer taps: make temperature and pressure control a breeze for people with reduced dexterity Recessed shower shelf: bending to reach toiletries on the ground can be challenging and cause unsteadiness for many of our clients; a recessed shelf eliminates the need for this and keeps showering essentials in easy reach. If your bathroom is in need of an accessibility upgrade, give us a call on 1300 765 887
