Criterion 13
Potential hoist route
What is required?
A short distance, and simple route, between a main bedroom and the bathroom.
Why is this important?
A short distance between the bedroom and the bathroom is convenient for everyone needing to go to the bathroom during the night, or from bed. If mobility is reduced due to illness or disability the closeness of these two rooms is even more helpful. A person with minimal, or no, mobility may want, or need, to use a ceiling tracking hoist to help them move between the rooms, the short distance and simple route is then even more important.
