Make Sure Your Bathroom Is Ready When You Leave The Hospital

After a hospital stay, it’s great to hear the words “you can go home.”

If your physical needs have changed, though, it’s important that you be safe and comfortable at home. You may wish to reorganise or make changes to your stuff before returning home. At AHM Installations, we’re used to constructing bathrooms for people returning home from the hospital.

Mr Simpson, 86, one of our clients, was brought to the hospital with Covid-19 last year. He also had pneumonia, a superbug, and a stroke, and he was hospitalised for seven weeks. “There was a lot of prayers,” Mrs Simpson, 82, remarked.

Mr Simpson was scheduled to receive a low-level shower installed, but his carers informed him that the new shower tray would not work when he was ready to leave the hospital. To guarantee that the new wheelchair could manoeuvre into and around the bathroom, a wet space was necessary.

Mrs Simpson said, “Every time I phoned Nichola (at AHM) to inform her what was going on, she was really courteous.” She was really calm and accommodating. The entire time, I felt entirely at ease.”

Getting Ready For Your New Bathroom

Here’s how to have your bathroom ready when you get back:

Pay heed to what experts have to say. A doctor, nurse, or occupational therapist can help you figure out which chores you need help with. If you need to go around, we’ll need to know the size of your walking frame or wheelchair, for example.
It’s important to know the difference between independent and assisted bathing. We’ll need to know if you can sit and stand without help, as well as how your mobility is projected to grow over time, if you wish to stay independent. Bath lifts, for example, may be required if you’ll be aided by a carer.
Seek the help of a family member or close friend. Involve someone you can trust in the decision-making process to make it less stressful. Make sure they know whether the toilet or tile design are essential to you ahead of time.

Make use of a reliable bathroom remodelling company. Some companies just sell bathroom products and don’t take the time to learn about your preferences and needs. AHM places a high value on quality of life. It makes no difference if you have a product unless it makes your life easier or safer.

Over the last 20 years, AHM has built thousands of accessible bathrooms, so we know how to make restrooms safe and appealing no matter what your budget is. In our perspective, everyone should be able to bathe safely and affordably.

Your local council may be able to help you receive a grant for disabled bathroom, or modifications to your existing facility in order to make the room safer to use. When you’re on the mend or having to adapt to a new life, it’s reassuring to know that you can receive help with unexpected costs.

The disabled bathroom grant can go towards widening and installing ramps, improving access to rooms and even stairlifts. For further details on grants, or to apply, please visit our grants and finance page. Although we can’t make applications for you directly we are more than happy to answer any questions for you.
