(Page 77) are ideal for people with visual impairments or dementia.
Bath Hoists
(Page 88) can be a good option for people who are unable to lift their legs over the side of bath but who still want the benefits of bathing. They have the option of a detachable seat which can be helpful for smaller spaces (seat can be stored outside of the bathroom) and for people who like to transfer in the bedroom and then remain seated to get into the bath.
Shower Trolleys
(Page 89-91) are suitable for people who are transferred by hoist in the bedroom and then wheeled through to a shower area to be washed in a lying position. They enable multiple carers to work at the correct height to suit them – reducing strain and risk of injury.

Tilt-In Space Shower / Commode Chairs
(Page 112) are useful for people at risk of falling froman upright shower chair or who have difficulty sitting upright due tomuscle spasms or weakness. Tilting the chair can allow carers to wash a person’s hairmore easily and comfortably.
Mobile Shower / Commode Chairs (Pages 106-113) are either self propelled or pushed by a carer and can be used over the toilet or in the bedroom as a commode as well as in the shower. They save on storage space as the person would not require an additional commode, toilet chair or frame.

in the bath or shower. Other accessories can help carers (Inflatable HairWash Basins) and prevent falls (such as Non-Slip BathMats).
