Everyone should feel confident, comfortable and in control of toileting, but unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Most standard toilets aren’t designed for individuals with limited mobility and can present a real challenge.
At the John Ford Group, we’re passionate about ensuring maximum independence by providing state-of-the-art adaptations to promote independent living.
When the utmost convenience is required to increase self-sufficiency and promote dignity, the Geberit AquaClean is the perfect toileting solution…
What Is The Geberit AquaClean Mera Care?
The Geberit AquaClean is more than just a toilet. It’s a total self-care experience which ensures complete personal hygiene from start to finish.
What makes it different from a standard toilet is its fully contained wash and dry cycle. An ambient pressure spray followed by a warm air-dry for immediate skin protection and cleanliness.
It’s totally paper-free, which reduces waste, is great for the environment and won’t ever leave you panicking in a pandemic!
We understand that everyone’s needs are different. The Mera Care package is completely changeable based on the requirements of the individual user. Making toileting accessible for everyone.
How Does It Work?
An AquaClean toilet reduces the need for physical interaction from others during toileting by enabling an individual to operate it with the simple press of a button, wave of a hand or eye movement (additional Eyegaze technology required).
Any of these actions will start the warm water wash and air-dry functions before automatic flushing gets rid of the wastewater and prepares for the next use.
You can adapt the spray intensity, arm position, oscillation and temperature settings to suit the individual and store preferences for up to four different users. This makes it a brilliant choice for both individual and multi-residence homes.
This all has a significant impact on increasing a person’s comfort, confidence and capability, which reduces toileting stress, promotes independent living and improves levels of personal hygiene through automated self-care.
Who Is It For?
Everyone can use a Geberit AquaClean. Its eco-friendly use makes it an ideal addition to any home or building, while the adaptable wash, dry and height settings make it accessible for everyone.
The people who benefit the most are…
- Those with reduced mobility
- Obese clients
- The elderly
Individuals who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar illnesses may also find that washing with water and gentle air-drying, rather than wiping with paper, helps to reduce skin soreness.
How It Makes Your Life Easier
Increased Independence
Using the Geberit AquaClean reduces the need for assistance when going to the toilet. The individual regains control over this aspect of their personal care.
Reduces Pain
The Geberit toilet helps to reduce pain associated with movement by totally removing the need for stretching and reaching to wipe and flush.
No Toilet Roll Required
Using paper to wipe can be messy, difficult to use and costly. The wash and dry function of the Mera Care does away with the need for toilet paper completely.
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
The functions and height of the AquaClean toilet can be fully customised. It can also be used with many types of mobility aids to make things as easy as possible.
Built To Last
With a 30 stone weight limit and constructed from durable materials, this toilet will stand the test of time. There’s also a 5 year warranty included for complete peace of mind.
Plumbing & Installation
Fitting a Geberit AquaClean Mera Care is like installing a standard toilet. We take care of everything, so you don’t have to worry about disruption.
The only additional requirements are a power connection and mains cold water feed. We can check for both in advance, and if required they’re easy to install.
Installation of the toilet itself only takes around half a day, including full testing to ensure it all works perfectly. You will have a fully working toilet for immediate improvement in independence quickly and with minimal disturbance to your home.
Aftercare
Guaranteed For 5 Years
Both Geberit and ourselves, have 100% confidence in the AquaClean Mera Care accessible toilet. This confidence is reflected in the complimentary 5 year warranty. All spare parts and labour required during this time come without cost to you, as long as the product has been registered within 90 days of installation.
Technology Included
The AquaClean Mera comes with the technology needed to make it an easy to use toileting experience. A smart remote, app or touch control is included in the total cost of the toilet. The only additional cost will be if you need an Eyegaze system supplied and installed to operate the toilet via eye movement.
No Need To Service
Instead of a full service, the Geberit toilet only requires descaling once or twice a year, depending on water hardness, to keep it functioning at its best. This is easy to do and we’ll be happy to show you how it’s done, ensuring that you feel confident in keeping your new toilet maintained.
