OT Walk in showers

My mam needs a walk in shower as she has had 3/4 of a lung out. Anyone know best place to get one reasonably cheap or know anyone who might need a bit of work heading their way?

Do you mean a wet room Mac....?

Don't think so. My mam has had people come to look at the house and have suggested lots of ways to make the house easier for her as she is struggling very badly to get round etc. They said a walk in shower was needed and have got a quote for £3700.

Looking at it wet room would be ideal.

That is very high Chief. You could get a whole wet room done for that price or do you mean £360

Has she contacted an Occupational Therapist at the social services? If the OT reccomends that she needs a walk in shower because using what she has now is a danger to her health, then they will install one free if you live in social housing or pay towards one if you own your house.

It can take time although they are usually done within 6 months.

BTW £3700 is about what it costs social services to install a walking shower.

Yeah that is what they are looking to charge my mum. They are not paying towards it that I can see.

Yeah they recommended the walk in shower and also put a lift thing in the bath which ain't much use tbh.

I would get back to them and ask if they can help financially towards the shower as your Mother cannot afford the £3700 and her health is in danger using the equipment provided.

Remember if you don't ask then you don't get. It won't hurt at all to ask.

I think they have come back and said we have to pay 3700 but my dad is going to appeal. Like you said no harm in trying. Thanks for advice.

Yes definatley appeal and make sure they understand fully that your Mother's health is in danger and the equipment provided is inadequate.

Good Luck.

Depending on her income/savings she could get the entire amount paid for via a Disabled Facilites GranS. The more savings and income you have the less they will pay towards it.

I can't remember the site i found which set out what you couild get and gave a calcullator shpwing how much you pay depending on ytour income and savings. I'll try and find it later
