How to Create a Dementia Friendly Wetroom?
Having a dementia-friendly bathroom can reduce the barriers that many people face while living with dementia, affecting their day-to-day activities. A well-considered wetroom design can significantly enhance their safety and preserve their independence for as long as possible. We offer a wide range of products, to meet the diverse needs and budgets of our customers, ensuring comprehensive support. Additionally, our assisted living products are available in blue, specifically designed to aid the visually impaired and benefit users affected by dementia. The contrasting colors are valuable as they clearly define each section and item within the wetroom. Importantly, these key products do not incur any additional cost compared to those needed for a standard adaptation.
Our Assisted Living Products:
There are many things you can consider as safety precautions when it comes to creating a more accessible wetroom, such as simply installing Grab Rails. These can help offer people support and assistance such as getting out of the bath and navigating around the wetroom/bathroom with ease. Our grab rails and many other assisted living products are available in both blue and grey to suit your needs.
Trips and slips can also occur where there is no change in floor level, as people with dementia often perceive a change in floor colour as a step up or down and this can lead to confusion. The safest solution is a wet room with a consistent floor colour throughout, and to avoid a high shine which could lead the user to assume the floor is wet. Flooring with flecks or small patterns, which could be perceived as dirt or items which need to be picked up should also be avoided, as it could lead to the additional risk of falls. It is highly recommended to invest in non-slip tiles for maximum safety and precaution to help eliminate any risks or hazards.
