Choosing the Right Commode or Toilet Accessories

Having the right toilet aids can help you maintain your dignity and privacy while allowing you to remain living independently in your home.

Options for maintaining independence for toilet activities include commodes, raised toilet seats so you don’t need to bend so far, or supports such as adjustable toilet frames and rails that help you lower and raise yourself from the seat.

Steps for Choosing the Perfect Commode or Toilet Accessories

Our team at Additional Aids Mobility’s store in Whitton, West London can advise you on the range of toileting products we have available to help you maintain dignity, privacy and independence in your own home as you tend to your needs.

They will be able to help you make an assessment of your mobility requirements and home environment so that the best equipment can be chosen for your existing and future needs.

When making a choice of toileting products, it is wise to consider the following points:

01

Do you need to consult with your GP or local continence service for professional advice on the support you need to manage your personal hygiene needs?

02

There are a range of health conditions, such as stomas and Crohn’s disease that can affect your ability to independently manage your toileting needs. If you are affected by such a condition, it is advisable to seek professional advice and further information from specialist organisations such as the Bladder and Bowel Community.

03

Some aids are available on prescriptions which are issued by an assessor; the Disabled Living Foundation has further information on their website about how to navigate this path.

04

Are you eligible for additional assistance to help manage toileting and personal hygiene requirements? It may be necessary to have a professional assessment from your local council’s social care needs assessment team to receive help with the cost of providing needed equipment.
