Walkthrough checklist

  1. Discuss the user's current and anticipated support needs with the care team.
  2. Coordinate fixture positions and wall backing with the bathroom designer and installer.
  3. Select products and locations that can be reached and cleaned comfortably.
Worked example

Imagine a bathroom refresh where a resident requests a support near the shower, but the proposed fixing falls on a tiled partition.

Ask the care and installation professionals to determine placement, wall backing and suitable product before tile work. Confirm the resident can reach it in the intended movement sequence.

How to test it

Have the relevant professional review the proposed setup before installation and after completion.

Layout
Separate dry changing and locker space from shower and towel return, with a clear path between them.
Detail
Use moisture-tolerant lockers, slip-conscious flooring, and mirrors with even face lighting.
Trade-off
More lockers reduce changing-bench and circulation space.
