An Internal Compact WashPod temporary disabled wetroom was been swiftly installed in Colin’s parents’ conservatory to restore some dignity and freedom for his ageing Mother who had Motor Neurone Disease and wanted to spend her last months at home with her husband of 50 years.

Colin, one of four children, said ‘this WashPod helped restore some quality and dignity to my Mother’s life which gave us such peace of mind that she was able to remain in the family home. A huge burden was been removed’.

It had been a bit of a turbulent journey for Colin’s family as their mother’s condition rapidly deteriorated and options for accessible washing facilities were reviewed. When their mother had to be admitted into hospital, she was unable to return home until the appropriate facilities were organised and, in coordination with Bristol City Council, the Washpod option was chosen over an accessible wetroom that would have taken weeks to complete, even if a contractor was found who was available to do the work.

The WashPod was a triumph as not only did it take just a week from first contact to installation, but it’s was also funded via Bristol City Council via the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).

“The speed with which the WashPod team responded and the professionalism shown was been seriously impressive” said Colin. “There was no disruption at all to my parents who were struck by the team’s sensitivity, good humour, commitment to doing a great job and tidiness” he continued. “The WashPod was awesome”.
