We are trying to decide how we are going to handle toileting.
We both would like a toilet with a bidet (wiping him is not my cup of tea), and thought that an extension lifting the whole toilet may make it easier to get on the toilet.
But what will we need when he is too weak to get himself on. I have seen some chairs that lift, but then the bidet becomes obsolete. I have seen hoists that will put him down on the toilet, but how much bathroom space is necessary to use on of those.
Am I missing any better solutions to this situation?
