Prepare Your Bathroom For After Your Hospital Stay

It’s nice to hear the words “you can go home” after a hospital stay.

However, if your physical demands have altered, it’s critical that you can continue to live at home safely and comfortably. Before you return home, you may want to organise your equipment or make modifications. We’re used to building bathrooms for folks returning home from the hospital at AHM Installations.

Last year, one of our clients, Mr Simpson, 86, was admitted to the hospital with Covid-19. He also suffered pneumonia, a superbug, and a stroke, and spent seven weeks in the hospital. Mrs Simpson, 82, told us, “There was a lot of praying.”

Mr Simpson was supposed to get a low-level shower fitted, but when he was ready to leave the hospital, his carers told him that the new shower tray wouldn’t function. A wet area was required to ensure that the new wheelchair could manoeuvre into and around the restroom.

“Every time I contacted Nichola (at AHM) to let her know what was going on, she was very nice about it,” Mrs Simpson added. She was really composed and accommodating. I was completely at ease the entire time.”

Preparing Your New Bathroom

Here’s how to make your bathroom ready in time for your return:

Take note of what the experts have to say. What tasks you need assistance with may be recommended by a doctor, nurse, or occupational therapist. We’d need to know the size of your walking frame or wheelchair, for example, if you need to get around.
The distinction between independent and assisted bathing should be understood. If you want to stay independent, we’ll need to know if you can sit and stand up without assistance, as well as how your mobility is expected to vary over time. If you will be assisted by a caregiver, goods such as bath lifts may be necessary.
Receive assistance from a family member or close friend. Make the decision-making process less stressful by involving someone you can trust. If the toilet or tile design is important to you, make sure they are aware of it ahead of time.

Employ the services of a reputable bathroom remodelling business. Some businesses concentrate on selling bathroom items without taking the time to learn about your tastes and requirements. The quality of life is our top focus at AHM. It’s pointless to have a product unless it makes your life safer and easier.

Over the last 20 years, AHM has constructed thousands of accessible bathrooms, so we know how to make bathrooms safe and beautiful no matter what your budget is. We think that everyone should be able to bathe safely and affordably.
