This is simply a portable toilet chair which can be situated at the bedside of a person with a disability. It is often useful in environments where the person finds it difficult to reach the toilet. It comes with a receptacle that can be emptied and replaced per time. Even though they are mostly used in bathrooms, others can be used in different situations. These include portable commodes, bariatric commodes, and shower commodes.
. More independence for the challenged user
One of the greatest desires of a person who battles with a loss of autonomy is the desire to be able to do things himself despite the challenges. This is especially in cases of hygiene and intimacy.
The chair empowers you to go to the toilet yourself without any help. A large number of people with mobility difficulties often avoid asking their caregivers for help especially at- night.
They instead prefer waiting for the caregiver to wake up before they make their requests known. This autonomy-giving chair situated close to the bed makes it possible for people to relieve themselves without any external help.
. Increased safety for caregivers and people with reduced mobility
One of the greatest challenges that face people with limited mobility is the danger associated with falling and getting serious injuries.
With features such as the support bars, this chair enables its users to reduce dangerous maneuvers when they have to assist an individual that doesn’t have balance or strength to stand up on their own.
The chair assists in reducing the inherent risk of injury by lowering the distance traveled especially in the night.
