As an OT, a common issue that I get asked about is how to prevent accidents when a gentleman is sitting down to use the toilet. This is a common problem, particularly when a person may have difficulty positioning themselves correctly on the toilet without assistance. Fortunately, there is a mobility aid to assist with this. These replace the existing toilet and combine the features of a standard toilet with that of an automatic bidet, providing a warm water douche and a stream of warm air for drying.

Manual lifting should be avoided, so if the carer finds that he/she is supporting your body weight at any time during transfers, an alternative solution to transferring should be sought. Once you’ve considered the size, shape, and material of the toilet seat, you’ll want to choose one that has the right features for your needs. Some popular features include a built-in bidet, a heated seat, and a remote control. Size is an important consideration when choosing a toilet seat. You’ll want to choose a seat that is the same size as your toilet bowl. If you have a small toilet bowl, you’ll want to choose a small toilet seat, and if you have a large toilet bowl, you’ll want to choose a large toilet seat.

Clipping on to the toilet seat can make it easier for people to get on and off the toilet, especially those with limited mobility or disabilities. This can also help people who are overweight or obese, as it can provide additional support and stability.

In addition, clipping on to the toilet seat can also make it easier for caregivers to assist people with limited mobility or disabilities. Caregivers can use the clip to help support the user, making it easier to get on and off the toilet. Final Note There are several raised toilet seats available with armrests. These seats offer both the increased height to help with getting on and off the toilet, but come with the added benefit of armrests for extra safety and stability. Where the toilet facilities in a home are shared, it can be difficult to cater for everyone’s needs. The primary assessment of needs will be for the disabled person, but any carer’s needs must also be considered. Where there is more than one toilet in a home, it is recommended that the most appropriate one is set aside for the use of the disabled individual, allowing others to make use of non-adapted facilities.
