Figures from the NHS show that over 40% of elderly patients treated in A&E were as a result of a fall. In addition, over 50% of adults aged over 80 will have at least one fall a year. For anyone who is unstable on their feet, the bathroom has to be one of the most potentially dangerous places of all.
As falling and any resultant injury can mean an end to independence in the home, having your bathroom designed and installed by a specialist bathroom adaptation company such as Living Needs, is an absolute must.
Living Needs do not just design independent bathrooms; we work in conjunction with Occupational Therapists, various charities and agencies and Local Councils in many areas, to provide a full advisory and design service, creating a bathroom that suits individual needs. We work closely with our customers, specialising in advising those with increased loss of mobility, disabled, elderly and those coping with difficult and complex health issues such as dementia, to create a bespoke adaptation to the bathroom and home.
