Bathroom Accommodating Reduced Ambulatory Mobility
-
Ceiling lift between the bathtub and toilet (this is actually fun to use) – reinforcement less than $50
-
Chromatherapy bathtub for relaxation
-
FSC certified maple floor with slip-resistant finish.
-
Water-saving toilet with no tank.
-
“Comfort” height is easily used by tall people, wheelchair users, or older people with reduced upper body strength.
-
Built-in seat in aromatherapy shower
-
Soap dispenser (to prevent a fall from retrieving bar soap from the floor)
-
Vertical and horizontal shower grab bars
-
Hidden fold-down grabs bars next to the toilet
-
Wall of glass and mirror to increase light levels (without extra energy use) in the bathroom, LR, DR, spa, studio and master bedroom

Bathroom cabinets wall mounted at 42” a.f.f. to reduce bending. Because they are wall mounted, they can be lowered at a future date (for shorter people and wheelchair users).
