Care Tapware

Care showers are designed to make showering safer and easier for people with limited mobility, older adults and anyone who needs extra support. They suit aged care facilities, healthcare settings and accessible home bathrooms. 

A care shower usually centres on a hand-held shower, so the user can direct the water while seated or standing. Fittings are chosen for ease of use, with simple controls that do not need a firm grip or fine hand movement. 

Planning the whole shower area matters as much as the fitting. Think about the height of the rail, the length of the hose and where the controls sit, so everything is within comfortable reach. Check accessibility guidelines for your setting, because requirements differ between homes and commercial or care facilities. 

Installation should be handled by a licensed plumber. Wall-fixed items need solid backing behind the wall, and your tradesperson can confirm the right fixing method. 

Comfort is part of safety. A shower that is easy to reach and simple to control helps people bathe with confidence, and it can reduce the physical effort for both users and carers. 

Browse the range to compare shower options, and choose a care shower that suits the people who will use it every day.
