Level Access Shower Facilities

A level access shower provides a step-free bathing solution, making showering safer and more accessible for individuals with reduced mobility, wheelchair users and those at increased risk of falls. By removing the need to step over a shower tray or bath, level access showers create a safer environment while promoting independence and confidence during personal care.

Level access showers can be tailored to suit individual needs and are suitable for use with shower chairs, wheelchairs and carer assistance where required. They are often recommended for individuals living with neurological conditions, arthritis, reduced balance or progressive mobility conditions, providing a long-term solution that improves accessibility throughout the home.

Following an independent Occupational Therapy assessment, Adapt OT can determine whether a level access shower is the most appropriate solution, taking into account the individual’s mobility, transfer ability, property layout and long-term needs.
