Stay In Your Own Home – Get a Bathroom In A Box
For Local Authorities
Bathroom in a Box helps social care budgets go further
As a local authority, you’re facing pressure from all sides to make your social care budget go further.
Bathroom in a Box offers a compelling solution for people with issues with mobility and bathing.
Bathroom in a Box is a freestanding unit that contains a toilet, shower and wash hand basin. It can be installed in virtually any room in a home.
It can be installed in an upstairs bedroom so getting to the toilet in the night is easier. It can be installed downstairs to give a person a more independent life without the dangers associated with using the stairs.
It helps people stay in their own homes for longer and reduces pressures on funding.
