If you\u2019re thinking about\u00a0bathroom renovations for seniors<\/strong>, there are a few key things you need to take into consideration. No matter what stage of life they\u2019re at, planning ahead for any changes in lifestyle and mobility will help your bathroom renovations stand the test of time.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Here are 7 things you need to consider when you\u2019re undertaking\u00a0bathroom renovations for seniors<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Ground Floor<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If the home is a two-storey, ideally you would want a bathroom on the ground floor. With mobility often becoming an issue later in life, making sure the ground floor of your home is fully functional and accessible is very important.<\/p>\n

If there isn\u2019t already a full bathroom on the ground floor, consider bathroom renovations that could turn a smaller room into a bathroom or ensuite for a bedroom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Grab Bars<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Grab bars are very useful in bathrooms for the elderly.<\/p>\n

These can be added to the walls or units beside the toilet and in the shower or bath. They will make it easier for elderly users to pull themselves up or sit themselves down, minimising the risk of falling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Shower Seat<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Showers can be particularly hazardous for seniors. Installing a shower seat allows them to continue to use their shower in a safe way.<\/p>\n

They can usually be folded up to tuck out of the way as well, if there are other family members using the bathroom as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Anti-Slip Bathroom Accessories<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are a host of\u00a0anti-slip bathroom accessories<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to consider when undertaking bathroom renovations for seniors.<\/p>\n

The simplest to add are non-slip mats and stickers which can be added on the base of the shower or bath to create more grip.<\/p>\n

For more permanent anti-slip functionality, ask our\u00a0plumber in Duncraig<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0about anti-slip tiles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Easy Turning Taps<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Taps are another thing to consider when it comes to bathroom renovations for seniors.<\/p>\n

Taps can become difficult to turn off and on fully to everyday use and wear and tear.<\/p>\n

Mixer taps and lever taps are ideal for seniors as they are much easier to use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Walk-In Bath<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If a bath is a necessity, you could opt for installing a walk-in bath. Make sure you choose one that is good quality as you don\u2019t want to be experiencing any leaks with a walk-in bath!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Storage With Drawers<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Drawers are much more user-friendly than cupboards.<\/p>\n

No more bending down and scrounging about at the back of a cupboard to find something. Drawers are a much better use of space and make it much easier to organise and find things when you need them.<\/p>\n
