What is the Best Electric Shower If Caring for Someone at Home?

If you care for anyone at home or manage a Care Home then choosing the most suitable Electric Shower is one of the most important things you can do.

We all know the benefits of maintaining good personal hygiene and also the enjoyment and relaxation that can come from taking a warm shower. This is the case for everybody, regardless of ability, and can be particularly important for people with disabilities or those with additional needs.

The Best Electric Shower for the Elderly and Disabled

The electric shower that we think is perfectly suited to these needs is the Triton Safeguard which is a pumped electric shower designed specifically for people with additional needs. In fact, it was developed in conjunction with Occupational Therapists and it has been endorsed by the Royal Institute for the Blind in the UK.

This electric shower has proven popular in Ireland because it has also been designed for use in low water pressure areas – which most of us here in Ireland live in. The integrated pump gives that extra bit of power to the water flow and makes the showering process more efficient and more enjoyable– perfect for anyone who is independent living or even those who are in assisted homes.

Features of the Best Shower for The Elderly and Disabled

Obviously, people with additional or special needs have some extra considerations to keep in mind and the Triton Safeguard addresses this with a number of important features. Anyone deserves dignity and should be able to enjoy a shower in private where possible and remaining safe.

So what makes this electric shower an ideal choice for homecare or any care environment?

• Shower controls for the disabled and elderly are a huge help. The big start/stop button is easy to identify and simple to use.
• You can set the shower on a timer to shut down after a set period of time
• You can set a maximum temperature to prevent scalding at high temperatures
• The phased shutdown feature means that when the shower is turned off, any remaining water that has been heated will continue to flow gently before the water flow stops completely
• The features and controls are all very tactile and feature large graphics
• There is an audible alert with the shower is started and stopped

In addition to these specific design features for people with disabilities and additional needs, the Triton Safeguard comes with all the build quality you would expect from Triton Showers – recognised as a global leader in electric shower design.

It is easy to install and maintain while the ergonomic rub clean showerhead makes cleaning the shower really easy. The two-year warranty also gives you great peace of mind.

We supply these to private customers who need that bit of extra assistance with showering, and also to Care Homes and other Care environments. We deliver nationwide right across Ireland and this qualifies for free shipping anywhere in the country.
