Department Manager at Öster Mälarstrands Senior Care Facility, Åsa Spännar, explains how the Bano Bathroom Concept have impacted the daily lives of their residents.

Decreased need for assistive aids in the bathroom 

We don't need to rely on assistive aids to the same extent as before, since we now can adjust the sink and toilet as needed. – Åsa Spännar, Department Manager

The residents can now manage significantly better without the use of assistive aids in the bathroom as both the washbasin and toilet can be adjusted in height and are equipped with support handles for a firm grip.

Personalized and flexible bathroom solutions

The individual’s health condition may vary from day to day, and the flexibility Bano bathrooms offer helps addressing a variety of needs. 

Facing old age, your health may change day to day. Some days you may be in better shape – a good day, while other days may be more challenging. This is one of the reasons why tailored and flexible bathrooms are important, where you can adjust both the toilet and sink to fit to your needs that exact day.  

Increased safety by minimizing transfers

Department Manager, Åsa Spännar, also adds that the workdays are safer for the staff with the Bano bathrooms, due to safer and fewer transfers. Read about how fewer transfers is beneficial for both patients and caregivers here
