Client Background:
Located in Knutsford, the customer approached Sima Care with a specific requirement to make bathing more accessible for their father in an assisted living care home. The care home’s infrastructure posed challenges due to elevated waste pipes, necessitating a creative solution to provide a low-level shower tray. Sima Care’s expertise in accessible bathroom design and their track record of delivering tailored solutions made us the perfect choice for this project.
Project Overview:
Sima Care’s team conducted a thorough assessment of the care home’s infrastructure, considering the customer’s needs and the limitations posed by the elevated waste pipes. The primary objective was to provide a low-level shower tray that would enable easy access for the customer’s father while ensuring efficient drainage of the waste water. Additionally, the project involved replacing a rotten floor that was discovered during the renovation process.
Unique Solution:
To address the challenge of elevated waste pipes and the need for a low-level shower tray, Sima Care implemented a special tray and pump system. This innovative solution allowed the waste water from the tray to be pumped into the drain when the shower was in use. As a result, the shower tray could be positioned as close to the floor as possible, ensuring seamless access for the customer’s father without the need for an elevated platform. Sima Care’s expertise in implementing this unique solution ensured both functionality and accessibility.
Floor Replacement:
During the removal of the old bathroom, it was discovered that the floor had become rotten. We promptly addressed this issue by replacing the damaged floor, ensuring a solid foundation for the new bathroom installation. The attention to detail in resolving the floor problem demonstrated Sima Care’s commitment to delivering a comprehensive solution for their customers.
