Dementia and bathroom accidents can be minimalised.

We take finding the toilet for granted. However, we’ve all experienced the stress and anxiety of needing the toilet and not being able to locate one. Given that, when dementia is involved, the frustrations are multiplied many times over. Overall, adding to the problem of raised levels of agitation, anxiety, stress and depression.

Difficulties in using a toilet

In some cases, a few possible reasons why a person with dementia can experience difficulties using the toilet, is a medical condition such as a urinary tract infection. Constipation, caused by a poor diet or dehydration and side effects from certain medication can also contribute. In addition, it could be that they are not able to find, recognise, or use the toilet.

Our strategy

Find’s toilet strategy is all about using highly visible, high contrast colour to establish a clear route to the toilet, and once there, to use the same principles to ‘decipher’ that environment by making the important things like a Double Arm Support Bar with Toilet Roll Holder in red and the toilet itself, easier to see. This boosts confidence and independence as well as helping to maintain or restore dignity.
