BENEFITS OF WASHPOD
WASHPOD'S STAY-AT-HOME ACCESSIBILITY
The WashPod range of rentable, mobile, accessible disabled bathrooms can be rapidly and affordably installed (both internally or externally) to help keep you at home. Which we all know is the best place to recover and get on with life. The five models vary in their level of accessibility and size so we can provide the best solution to suit your particular needs and circumstances.
If you can’t wash yourself, either on your own or with a carer’s support, you might not be able to leave hospital if you’ve suffered a trauma, or stay at home if you’re getting old and infirm. The result is a move to a care facility, either temporarily or permanently.
WASHPOD IS DELIVERED BY PROFESSIONALS
WashPod is delivered by healthcare design professionals who have more than 30 years’ experience in designing for disability. We work with Case Managers, Occupational Therapists and Court Deputies – all of whom manage injured or elderly patients.
External & Internal Large WashPod
These are the largest and most accessible, offering wheelchair or trolley access with carers in attendance.
The Standard WashPod
The Standard WashPod is an alternative internal model that will suit more people with smaller spaces. It is still wheelchair accessible and can include hoist options but it is presented in a more compact design.
The Compact WashPod
The Compact WashPod is designed for more limited spaces. It will be the answer for many people needing at-home, disabled bathing where space is at a premium and fully compliant accessibility with carers, hoists and trollies may not be needed. The Compact is now available as an external option too.
The ALL NEW Micro WashPod
Even smaller and designed for the more mobile, the NEW Micro shower can fit into most existing bathrooms as a plug and play low level wetroom, offering access on three sides.
The Micro features bi-fold doors and a shower curtain to aid carer access from the outside. It’s only 1.5mL x 1.2mW x 2.0mH (a lower height design) plus foldaway ramp.
It is the boutique wetroom solution.
WASHPOD DOESN'T COST THE EARTH
The average cost of a care home in the UK is now £3500 a month or more in the South East.
WashPod units are rented and costs can vary depending on the final specification and specific needs of the individual end user’s circumstance.
Rental rates start for as little as £180 – £415 per week plus installation. Minimal rental periods are usually 9 months. This compares favourably to many times this cost for a care home.
Tracking hoists can also be fitted to most models at an additional cost.
