Bathroom adaptations for children

Every parent wants their child to be safe at all times, but for those with a disability or those that require extra care and attention, ensuring this can be a unique challenge. Parents of disabled children may face additional obstacles that other parents do not encounter when it comes to providing basic personal care such as bathing.

At Down's Brothers, we are able to provide a variety of adaptations that can make bathing easier and safer for both the parent and the child.

Take a look at the photos to the right. We recently adapted this bathroom for one of our customers who has a disabled child. The folding non-slip bath bed allows our customer to bathe and shower their child at a comfortable height, whilst ensuring that they are safe.  

Other bathroom modifications we install include grab bars and shower chairs to provide increased safety in the bathroom and greater independence during bathing activities. Installing these items means that parents and caregivers don't have to physically lift their kids in order to bathe them, reducing strain on the body while increasing overall comfort levels.
