Height Adjustable Bath: Children’s Care Home

The Solo Height Adjustable Bath by Astor-Bannerman was installed by the Sync Living service team in April 2017 into a Children’s Care Home within the Belfast Trust.

A number of Height Adjustable Baths we’re discussed with the Occupational Therapy Team but it was decided the Solo Bath would accommodate the Children’s needs in the Care Home’s. The Solo bath has been designed to safely accommodate even the most highly dependent bather where hoist transfers are required.

The Solo Bath is compatible with all types of overhead and floor hoists to allow for multi-user access within a Care Home environment. The Bath can be raised to a comfortable working height for the carers, therefore, reducing any unnecessary manual handling risks.

The Air Spa and Colour Light Therapy System were added as additional options to enhance the bathing experience for the children.

“The Kids love it, especially the bright colours and spa features! They even love the shower head but the staff are constantly getting soaked because the kids are having so much fun” – Occupational Therapist, Belfast Trust
