Care Toilets

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

Compared with a standard toilet, a care toilet is typically designed with accessibility in mind. Features can include a raised pan height for easier sitting and standing, and a design that works with grab rails and backrests. 

Planning the space is as important as the toilet itself. Check the clearance around the pan, the position of rails and the room for a carer or wheelchair, where needed. Accessibility rules differ between homes and commercial or healthcare settings, so check the guidelines for yours. 

A licensed plumber should install the toilet and confirm that the trap type and outlet position match. Wall-fixed grab rails need solid backing behind the wall. 

Comfort and dignity matter as much as function. A well-planned accessible toilet helps people use the bathroom independently, and gives carers a safer, easier space to work in. 

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