Some clients manage the toilet itself without trouble and only come unstuck on the way down and the way back up. The Hero Medical toilet surround stands over a standard pan and gives them a height adjustable armrest on each side to control that movement, without changing the toilet at all.
It suits reduced lower limb strength or unsteady balance, and it carries a high rated load, so it covers a heavier client. The frame is aluminium with a rust resistant powder coat, which holds up in a wet bathroom, and it is light enough for a carer to lift aside for cleaning with one hand.
It collapses for storage or transport, which makes it a sensible choice for respite, a short stay at home or hire between clients. Check the floor space and where the toilet sits against the wall before you specify it, because the frame needs clearance on both sides.
