24 hours

1 patient; 1-2 staff assisting

Additional Considerations

~ The layout is to allow for maneuvering of a patient on a lifting device, commode chair, wheelchair or shower trolley. ~ A height adjustable bath may be provided instead of a shower trolley depending on service requirements. ~ The location of the toilet should provide sufficient space on each side to allow for staff to provide assistance from either/both sides. ~ Grab rails are to be securely fixed to the wall with the structural support required to meet weight ratings/SWL that must be confirmed at project level (generally accommodating patients up to 150kg for standard patient spaces). Provision of structural support and FF&E that is suitable for supporting bariatric patients (typically up to 250kgs) may be considered and confirmed at a project level. ~ Signage with tactile Braille nominating 'Bathroom' required to room. ~ Mobile duress coverage is to be assessed and planned at a department level and coverage is to suit local security and WHS policies and operational service requirements.
