Here’s an adapted bathroom completed recently in Chelmsford. Mary suffered a stroke last year and following a stay in hospital, was moved to a reablement hospital in Kent. Of course what the family really wanted was Mary to come home quickly. We arranged Rob Warren of Stanford Wellbeing to carry out an OT assessment quickly and collaboratively designed the adaptations (which needed to be in keeping with the property). These included access ramps and widened doors, through floor lift and adapted shower room. Nash Kumar of Higher Elevation delivered the lift. Mary came home 6 weeks later. The family’s comment?…..absolutely mission accomplished! 🚀
Mary is making excellent progress at home with her family. 🥰
