Changing Places toilets are for people who need to use toilets safely and comfortably, including people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and physical disabilities (such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis)
How it can help
Changing Places toilets are different to standard disabled toilets as they have extra features and more space to meet the needs of people who use them. Each Changing Places toilet provides:
- a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench
- a tracking hoist system, or mobile hoist if this is not possible
- space in the changing area for the disabled person and up to two carers
- centrally placed toilet with room either side
- a screen or curtain to allow some privacy
- wide tear off paper roll to cover the bench
- large waste bin for disposable pads
- non-slip floor.
