Before

Room 2 as we found it: a high-sided bath that needed a hoist, in a dated, cramped layout.

After

The same room now: a walk-in bath with a side-entry door, and an open shower with carer access.
The story

How Room 2 lost the hoist

1
The challenge

A bath nobody could get into unaided

Room 2 was dated and relied on a hoist system to get residents into a high-sided bath. It was slow, it took up the whole room, and it was undignified for the person being lifted.

Our solution

A bath you can walk into

We fitted a walk-in bath with a wide, outward-opening side door, so residents can step in rather than be lifted. Alongside it is an open shower area with a fold-down seat and half-height doors so a carer can help from outside. Modern wall panelling, new grab rails, a non-slip floor and an easy-clean finish complete the room.

The result

Safer, and more dignified

Room 2 is now quicker and safer to use for residents and staff alike, with no hoist needed for a bath. The second of three rooms we refurbished at Horsfall House.

Paul got in contact with us at Age Care Bathrooms because his bathroom had started to work against him, and using the bath was getting harder. We took it out and designed, and installed an easy-access wet room in its place, one built around how Paul lives and how he will for years in the future, in the home he loves.
