Today our longest serving WashPod temporary disabled wetroom is being removed – exactly 6 years after it was installed and for the best of reasons.
At 21 years old, Luke had a Large External WashPod installed to replace the makeshift shower in his garden. After suffering spinal injuries when he was hit by a car on a night out, Luke spent 4½ months in the hospital. Once home, he was forced to use the makeshift shower because he couldn’t access the family bathroom, as it wasn’t wheelchair-friendly.
Now, Luke has moved into an adapted property that suits his needs perfectly.
His mother, Annette, says, “While Luke won’t miss the WashPod, it provided a quick and dignified bathing solution at a time when he was coming to terms with his situation. It gave him the independence and privacy he needed. It was an absolute gamechanger, and we will always be grateful for it”
Everyone at Dignity Access wishes Luke the very best of luck and happiness in his new home.
