If further assistance and/or support is needed, then it may be necessary to use a mobile over-toilet chair or an overhead hoist. These are long handled devices to be used with toilet paper, designed to assist people with limited reach. The strategic placing of grab rails can help to provide a secure handhold to pull up or slide across with during these transfers. In addition, the following may help: Some urinals are designed specifically for use when travelling and can be sealed, thrown away or contain crystals that absorb urine forming a gel. These chairs are either free standing or mobile and are placed/wheeled over the toilet. They have two advantages: they provide better sitting supportReach and grip may be improved by using a handling belt. A handling belt is worn by the person being transferred and is basically a belt with handholds. It allows the carer to have a firm grip, without holding your clothing or body. The carer can guide and support your movement. It is not intended for the carer to take your body weight through the belt. Once you have the sizes jotted down it’s time to choose a toilet seat that fits these measurements, your budget and your style.

Attach the new fittings, using your hands to tighten up the nuts on the bolts. Be careful not to over tighten them at this stage as you’ll probably want to adjust them once you’ve fitted the new toilet seat. Bedpans are more commonly used by people who are being nursed in bed and who cannot, or should not for medical reasons, be moved out of Toilets come in a variety of shapes and sizes so use your tape measure to get the correct size and shape seat for your loo. Measure your existing toilet seat for the correct measurements or, if you’re measuring a new toilet with no seat, measure the length from the middle of the fitting holes to the centre of the front of your toilet bowl. Then measure the width from the widest point across. A raised toilet seat usually replaces the existing toilet seat and provides a raise of 5cm, 10cm or 15cm depending on the model. The seat either clamps If you are struggling with caring for yourself, which includes accessing a toilet and managing your personal hygiene, consider asking for a health and social care needs assessment. Since the Care Act 2014 came into power in April 2015, anyone who appears to need care and support can request an assessment from their local council, irrespective of their income or savings. The Act also places a statutory duty on local authorities and the NHS to support individuals to take steps to prevent their ill health or care requirements from getting worse. These strategies for prevention can include the early provision of equipment and services to help prevent, delay or reduce the development of needs for care and support.If you decide to buy equipment privately it is best to try and compare the different ranges first. You may have an equipment demonstration centre near you that you can visit to view different equipment. You will receive impartial advice to help choose appropriately. If a rail is used to pull up with, it is generally fitted in line with the front of the toilet pan, at approximately waist height and at an angle running forwards and upwards away from you. Sometimes, a horizontal rail followed by a vertical rail (or a right-angled rail) might be preferred to provide two handhold levels. Raised toilet seats are available with arm rests for extra support when seated and when standing from the toilet. A turner or patient turner, often called an Etac turner after one manufacturer, enables assisted standing transfers. It would only be useful if you are able to pull yourself up to standing and then maintain your own weight. The carer also needs to be relatively fit and able to manoeuvre the equipment.
