The Bathroom provides for assisted bathing of patients, patient dressing, undressing, grooming and handwashing. It is also used for bathing of patients for treatment or aromatherapy. Facilities include an island bath, toilet, and handbasin; a separate shower within the room is optional. A low height adjustable shower is required over the bath. Hydraulic lift baths may be considered for Occupational Health & Safety purposes.
The Bathroom should allow for independent disabled access as well as the manoeuvring of a patient on a lifting device or shower bed. Space may be required to enable transfer of a patient to the bath from both sides.
Additional Design Requirements:
- The shower area must not have a raised hob
- The entrance to the bathroom is to be flush with the adjoining corridor
- Airconditioning and exhaust should be intermittent use and operate
when light switch is activated or turned off.
Acoustics: Sound attenuation level - Medium. Acoustic privacy required.
