Assisted Living Buying Guide There comes a point for many households where a bathroom or kitchen needs to work harder, supporting a family member's mobility or independence directly, and this collection is built around that genuine, practical need. Every product here is chosen with both function and design in mind, so accessibility never has to come at the expense of a considered look. Choosing a toilet suite Easy height toilets, including Caroma's Liano Cleanflush Easy Height range, sit at a raised pan height, genuinely easier to sit down on and stand up from than a standard suite. The Caroma Urbane II and Contura II Cleanflush ranges bring rimless flushing technology to a wall-faced or Invisi Series II concealed-cistern configuration, and the Urbane II Bidet Suite pairs Cleanflush with integrated water-washing for genuinely hands-free hygiene. Choosing grab rails and support rails Nero's Mecca Care range spans 25mm and 32mm diameter grab rails in lengths from 450mm through to 1200mm, across chrome, brushed nickel, brushed gold and brushed bronze, alongside matching wall hooks and toilet roll holders. Caroma's Opal support rail range includes straight rails, 90-degree and 135-degree angled configurations, and a corner shower support rail with an integrated basket, in white, brushed nickel and matte black. Choosing tapware and other fixtures Lever tapware is genuinely easier to operate than a standard knob for anyone with limited grip strength, and this collection includes assisted living-specific taps built around that principle. Phoenix's Vivid and Rhapsody lever washing machine stops, and Fienza's Isabella washing machine outlets, extend the same accessible lever operation into the laundry. Caroma's Opal wall-hung basins, in 720mm and 900mm twin configurations, complete the range alongside rail showers and shower seats. Why lever tapware matters A lever handle is operated by pressing down on an elongated arm, genuinely more accessible than a knob's grip-and-turn
