User at washbasin
The spacious bathroom has a washbasin (Photo above), shower stall (Photo below) and toilet. The toilet is low so that the shower chair fits over it.
A wooden ramp covers the gap between the level of the bathroom and the hall (Photo far below).
Users comments
When the user became injured the family was in the process of building an addition to the house. The bathroom had not yet been built and could therefore be adapted to the user’s needs. Heating coils were installed later, because of this there is a slight difference between the level of the hall and the bathroom.
