Reminders

Steer clear of sharp edges
Make sure all of the basins and cabinets have rounded or smooth edges, especially if these are made of sturdy materials.
Make sure it's easily accessible
- It would be necessary to have wheelchairs and walking frames available.
- Think about potential emergencies and how simple it will be to use the toilet.
- It is important to make sure that the door locks are simple to break, especially during an emergency.
Use lever mixers instead
It allows the user to turn on the tap and then use one hand to change the water's temperature.
