“Let’s Redo the Bathroom Part 2”

Last month Faye and Al “discovered” that their bathroom was old fashioned and cramped, and definitely lacked charm.  It had never really served family members safely and comfortably

Changes were long overdue.  These are changes that can be made:
  1. the small pocket door can be replaced by a 36” swinging door
  2. the linen closet can be reduced to small shelves with baskets for linens, and no door
  3. a small pedestal sink with a lever fixture can replace the large wall hung sink
  4. the commode can be replaced and raised for better access
  5. a shower curtain can replace the  shower door and threshold for more room and better access
  6. the shower can be widened by moving one non-load bearing wall, and a seat is added. 

NOW, Faye can begin to add some charm! 

We can create 3-dimensional images from the new floor plan and  assist Faye in creating a stylish, modern bathroom.  She will know how her new bathroom will look before the contractor is called.

This  design will provide safety and comfort even for an individual in a wheel chair.   However, it is doubtful that it will be referred to as a “handicap” bathroom.

“Lift and transfer” present problems that can not be solved with innovative home designs.  Bathtub accessibility is one of those problems. The BATH CHAIR LIFT solution is the subject of  The Accessible Home Journal for next month.
