Jomie   30 #4 Posted August 29, 2018 Tattoo - you will need an assessment before this can be applied for. Usually these are done by an occupational therapist. If you or your wife are under the care of the hospital for your disability they might have an OT attached to that particular speciality. If not, telephone social services or ask at your GP surgery for contact details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If you or your wife are under the care of the hospital for your disability they might have an OT attached to that particular speciality. If not, telephone social services or ask at your GP surgery for contact details.  which can be arranged by following the link given in my earlier post.  hospital OTs may be involved in the assesment process , but generally that is when someone isan inpatient or frequently sees the OT service at the hospital.

dan2802 Â Â 53 #6 Posted August 29, 2018 Wet rooms are a disaster in this country as we don't have the climate to dry them out. (and they always tend to leak). What about a 1700x700 shower tray which is the same footprint as a standard bath so great for people with limited mobility. I did one a few years ago for an elderly couple and they loved it.

What about a 1700x700 shower tray which is the same footprint as a standard bath so great for people with limited mobility. I did one a few years ago for an elderly couple and they loved it. Â I did exactly that, removed a bath and replaced it with the same size tray. I think it's great even without limited mobility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
