A New cistern lever is the perfect way to rejuvenate your existing toilet or to personalise a new one. For example, managing stairs might be too difficult or unsafe, or the circulation space may be too tight. Consider how you can maintain your independence, for example by installing equipment to help with transfers on and off the toilet; by positioning grab rails in strategic places; or by using a sanichair (see below).

It would only be useful if you are able to pull yourself up to standing and then maintain your own weight. Self-propelled over-toilet chairs enable the wheelchair user to transfer themselves into the chair from, for example, the bed, propel themselves into the bathroom/toilet and manoeuvre themselves over the toilet. Users position their wheelchair alongside the toilet, remove the armrest and slide themselves across.

These are long handled devices to be used with toilet paper, designed to assist people with limited reach. You may have an equipment demonstration centre near you that you can visit to view different equipment. Sometimes, a horizontal rail followed by a vertical rail (or a right-angled rail) might be preferred to provide two handhold levels. For people who have the use of one hand only, a dispenser that takes packs of separate leaf paper, or a toilet roll lock to allow sheets to be torn off will help.If the commode is to be positioned against a wall it would be wise to choose one that does not have a pan that slides out from the back of the seat.
