Safer bathing - For the bath project, we combined our many years’ experience with the knowledge of later life health specialists Red & Yellow and experienced occupational therapist Anava Baruch to ensure it was designed with independence and safety in mind. ‘Getting in and out of the bath is often the first thing that people start to struggle with as they become less mobile. The design of the bath makes bathing a much less fraught and dangerous experience, whilst looking great too.’ Anava Baruch, Occupational Therapist.
