Recommendations for Elderly-Friendly Bathroom Equipment
20 August 2024
Designing an elderly-friendly bathroom is not like bathrooms in general. Decreased balance and health factors mean that elderly bathrooms must be designed differently and equipped with bathroom equipment that makes their activities easier.
So, what bathroom equipment must be in an elderly person's bathroom? Here are some recommendations.
1. Lamp
The first thing to pay attention to is the lighting in the bathroom. Make sure the lights used are appropriate for your vision and environmental conditions. Most elderly people's vision will decrease or not be optimal. So, use lights that are bright enough so that the elderly's activities are not hampered.
2. Smart closet
Elderly activities in the bathroom are generally very limited, unlike those of productive age. In fact, for most elderly people, closing and opening the toilet cover, as well as flushing or flushing the toilet may be difficult due to limited range of movement. For this reason, there's no harm in trying a smart closet in the elderly's bathroom. |
The GBC-IS008W smart closet is the right recommendation for GB friends. This smart toilet is SNI-certified and works with an automatic system so that elderly people don't need to flush open and close the toilet cover. It is also equipped with a remote control, automatic rinse, and dryer feature, as well as a water heater and seat cover. Very easy for seniors, right?
Apart from that, GB Sanitaryware also has multifunctional toilets specifically designed for the elderly and disabled. All the features found in this latest toilet have been adapted to the needs of the elderly, such as being easy to raise and lower the toilet seat with buttons on the right and left, and there are left and right handles to help elderly people who have difficulty sitting or standing.

3. Smart sink
Not only toilets, GB Sanitaryware also designed smart sinks specifically for the elderly and disabled. This sink uses various high-technology features to make elderly activities easier in the bathroom.
Just like a multifunctional toilet, the height of this smart sink can be adjusted using a button on the sink body. There are also handrails or handles to make it easier for the elderly and disabled to move.

4. Shower set modern
GB Sanitaryware's latest shower set is equipped with a head shower, hand shower, left shower, and right, as well as a seat. Each element of this shower set can make the activities of the elderly and disabled easier in the bathroom because its function has been adjusted. There is also a handle on the seat whose position can be adjusted so that the activities of the elderly and disabled in the bathroom do not require a lot of movement.

5. Multifunctional tissue hanger
The GB Sanitaryware multifunctional tissue hanger is equipped with a small drawer for storing items, a multifunctional coaster, and a handle or handrail to make it easier for the elderly, disabled, and children when they want to stand or sit on the toilet.
6. Multifunctional hanging shelf
Apart from tissue hangers, elderly bathrooms must be equipped with multifunctional shelves that are easy to reach. GB Sanitaryware has a multifunctional hanging shelf GBY7-BMJ which can be used as a place to place toiletries. This multifunctional shelf especially designed to be hung in the corner of the bathroom or near the shower so it is easy to reach. This modern minimalist model shelf is made from quality ABS and is equipped with bolts for installation.

7. Anti-slip seat
Bathroom equipment that is no less important for the elderly is an anti-slip chair. If it is not possible to use a shower set specifically for the elderly or disabled, you can add an anti-slip chair to the elderly's bathroom. Using an anti-slip chair helps reduce the risk of seniors slipping and falling in the bathroom, as well as making the process of cleaning their feet easier. GBSEAT series GB Sanitaryware anti-slip chair is the right choice. The material used is quality ABS which is light, strong and anti-slide. There are several color choices, such as black, white, yellow, green, orange and purple.

8. Leg support
In addition to anti-slip chairs, you need to use the GBYF30018 foot support from GB Sanitaryware to make it easier for elderly people to clean their feet. The position or height of this foot support can be adjusted to the height of the anti-slip chair used so that the elderly do not need to bend too much when cleaning their feet. GBYF30018 is made from brass which has been tested against rust and corrosion.
