Changing Tables

Height adjustable changing tables — that can rise and lower — benefit both caregivers/aides and wheelchair users. The table lowers to accommodate user transfer, and then rises to a comfortable working height. Multiple aides, short or tall, can adjust the same table to their optimal position.

Wheelchair users who can assist in transfers retain a higher degree of dignity, not to mention all the intrinsic values of maintaining as much functionality as possible. Those who attend them get protection from back strain or injury, a leading cause of disability and workers’ compensation.

Optimally, a combination of mechanical hoist or lift, in conjunction with a height adjustable changing table. That way, both user and attendant are protected, safe, and comfortable. Ask us for referrals if you are interested in purchasing a hoist or lift to complement your changing table.

Being able to move the changing table can be crucial, especially where special needs students or clients fluctuate. Perhaps you have a multi-function room that is only used for diapering at certain times of the day. We have several models that are not fixed to the wall, including some that also adjust height.

Then one of our folding tables should do the trick. They fold up against the wall when not in use, leaving all that floor space for other purposes. And yes, they are available in both fixed and height adjustable versions.

Measure the space you plan to use carefully. Make sure that the table you’re planning will fit in the allotted space. Check for electrical requirements, if appropriate. And if you have any doubts, call us!

Adjustable Bathroom

There are several, including creating a bathroom space that can be easily used by mobility-impaired individuals, along with anyone else.

A less obvious advantage is saving space. When the bathroom fixtures are adjustable — both vertically and horizontally — you need less space for maneuvering wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Adjustability also means that the bathroom will be adaptable to changing needs over time.

Not in most cases. Some individual states might provide funding for people with disabilities, Veterans Affairs (VA) or workers compensation.

Pressalit Care has applied the highest standards — both US and European — in developing these products. 

Very! The Pressalit Care adjustable bathroom components have all been specifically designed with rounded corners, smooth edges and without small nooks or crannies that trap dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals (you won’t need them) and clean with warm, soapy water.

The adjustable toilet can lift as much as 440 lbs. The adjustable shower seat has a weight capacity of 330 lbs.
