Independence and infirmity

For many people, one of the most challenging aspects of ageing is not so much the decreased mobility problems that accompany getting older, but the privations and restrictions on independence that those problems often cause.

That’s why it’s important for washing and bathing solutions to be designed and fitted with sensitivity to the existing layout, design and decors of people’s houses, and for them to be tailored around the lifestyles and specific needs of the individual.

After all, it is hard enough to readjust to the various challenges of limited mobility without having to radically transform your living environment as well.

And when it comes to balancing the needs of older people who are, understandably, keen to cling on to their self-sufficiency despite finding day-to-day things like washing and bathing increasingly difficult, it is important to approach the topic with sensitivity and compassion.

The psychological benefits of creating a well-designed, stylish and comfortable living environment shouldn’t be underestimated; something as simple as using a shower can be a major challenge for people suffering from such conditions as Parkinson’s or arthritis.

Working with Bathing Solutions, RD Bathing Care takes all of this into account at every stage of the process, from initial consultation through to installation and after-care. Bathing Solutions’ systems are customisable, with many add-on features such as grab bars and folding seats available to suit the specific and changing needs of the user. They are also versatile, with practicality a priority at every stage of the process.

Attention to detail and safety are also borne in mind at every stage of the design and fitting process, with particular attention paid to minimising the risk of slips and falls.   

All of the walk-in showers and baths we recommend have special features designed with safety, security and simplicity at the forefront to bring you complete peace of mind and relaxation in the bathroom, providing the most stylish, contemporary and luxurious solution to bathing difficulty.
