If you have an elderly person, the first thing to consider is safety. The most dangerous place in the family should be the toilet. It is not uncommon for the elderly to fall into the toilet and die. In order to recommend today's series of bathroom care solutions, not only safety, but also comfort, convenience, privacy, decency and other factors are taken into consideration. I hope that parents can finally have a high-quality old age. The risks and discomforts of the elderly in the bathroom include:
You see a beautiful and spacious bathroom, but it is not easy to use for the elderly. Older people do not have flexible legs and feet, it is difficult to get in and out of the bathtub, and there is a risk of slipping. The threshold of the shower room is not high, but it is a wrong stumbling block. How to deal with it?
1. Install walk-in or automatic lifting bathtub
The walk-in bathtub can be fully opened on one side. The old man sits on the chair of the bathtub, moves his feet, and then closes the door to release the water. You can take a shower. The seat in the bathtub is very high, which is convenient for the elderly to sit up and will not put pressure on the heart during the bath. You can also choose the automatic lifting bath, which is very convenient.
2. Cancel the height difference between the inside and outside of the bathroom, replace the shower curtain, and do not use the glass shower door
There is no threshold when showering, and the small slope of the floor drainage direction can solve the drainage problem. It is convenient to use a wheelchair by removing the stumbling block from the bathroom.
3. Installation of barrier-free handrails
The installation of barrier-free handrails can prevent the elderly from falling and slipping.
Standing in the bathroom For elderly people with limited fitness, standing for a long time will be ineffective, dizzy or slippery, so it is best for the elderly to sit in the bathtub to maintain their health.
1. Barrier-free bath stool
Not only can she simply sit in the bathtub in her shower, but the spray arms on both sides can spray the fine water mist wrapped from the shoulders onto the feet. Warmth like a bathtub, young people can fold when taking a bath and hang the hand-held shower high.
If the elderly have bathing problems, how to store toiletries? How to deal with it? The layout of toiletries should follow two principles. First of all, you can wash your face instead of distorting it. Second, it is best to fix it so that it does not accidentally fall off when twisting the body. The automatic sensing is better, and it saves effort and effort. It is difficult to install handrails without obstacles in the toilet.
Bending and squatting are difficult positions for the elderly, but the two movements in the bathroom are essential. How to deal with it? The toilet seat with a handle is higher than the toilet seat, and the elderly sits with a lower degree of bending, and can be supported when both sides are raised.
2. Electric lifting toilet lid
The elderly do not need to bend over, can sit comfortably and can automatically rise when tired, saving a lot of labor. When not in use, you can fold the armrest like a normal toilet.
There is no support when moving, the elderly are older, and the legs and feet are uncomfortable. It is necessary to use crutches when walking, but it is inconvenient to use crutches in the bathroom. A space is small and humid. There is no anti-skid protection.
