My dad is now at the stage where getting up and down from the toilet to his PWC is quite challenging. I also think he is struggling to wipe himself and keep himself clean (he still has mobility in his arms and hands but limited dexterity and no fine motor skills). Also, he cannot wash his hands by himself.
Having said this, I am looking into two separate things: 1) toilet raiser, and 2) a bidet seat. However, I cannot seem to find out if these things can be used together. Does anyone have suggestions for how they went about this issue?
I am looking for something cost-effective as I imagine that it will be a question of months that he will be able to control his bowel movements & use the toilet himself. I am unfamiliar of what that next stage will look like and any advice on how to prepare/think ahead will be so greatly appreciated.
Warmly,
Giulia
