Product Information

Toileting equipment is not readily available on short term loan for hygiene reasons, but local branches of the British Red Cross often run equipment loan schemes and can sometimes loan equipment such as a commode. Some women may find it easier to use a device (such as a She-wee) which allows them to urinate whilst standing or sitting forward in a chair, without removing any clothes, combining this with a urinal for collection. Disabled people can claim VAT exemption on installations, repairs, maintenance, products that have been designed solely for disabled people, spare parts and accessories. The commode pan is removed either by lifting it out from the top or by sliding it out from underneath.

Sometimes, a horizontal rail followed by a vertical rail (or a right-angled rail) might be preferred to provide two handhold levels. However structural alterations, such as strengthening the ceiling, or adapting the top of the door frame, may need to be made. If, on assessment, your needs are high enough to qualify for help from social services, they will then look at your income and savings to see whether you will need to pay towards any future services you receive. Circulation space within a room can sometimes be improved by changing an inward opening door to an outward opening one.Seat hoists have an aperture seat instead of slings, so the user is transferred in a sitting position. Someone who has weakness or stiffness in their wrists or hands may find a lever flush difficult to manage. Standing or toileting hoists have a specially designed sling arrangement that enables the user to be lifted in a semi-standing position.

These replace the existing toilet and combine the features of a standard toilet with that of an automatic bidet, providing a warm water douche and a stream of warm air for drying. If sitting balance is poor, a more specialised commode that has a higher backrest and positioning supports may be needed. To make flushing the toilet easier, a lever that has a wider, flatter area to accommodate the palm of the hand can be fitted. Small transfer equipment such as sliding boards and turning discs can be used to help a carer assist with your transfers. These strategies for prevention can include the early provision of equipment and services to help prevent, delay or reduce the development of needs for care and support.

They can also be used as a transfer chair and some can be positioned over the toilet with the commode pan removed. The assessment aims to identify any difficulties you may having in caring for yourself and how this impacts upon your well-being. Its large square handle and contoured recess allows the lever to be pushed down simply with the palm of the hand.
