Live the life you deserve
Picture the scene, it’s the end of the day. Your body feels tired and your mind is ready for some downtime. You imagine what it would feel like to climb into a warm, soothing bath and let you cares melt away. Then a niggling doubt takes hold. Last time you had a bath you had to call your partner to help you get out. Maybe it won’t happen this time. So, you run a bath anyway thinking this time you’ll be ok. But can you enjoy your bath with those doubts in your mind? And more importantly, should you? We know that going from a ‘normal’ bathroom to one with mobility aids feels like a step in a direction you don’t want to go. But it depends how you look at it. There are far more people aged over 65 in the UK today compared to a generation ago – almost a fifth of the population – and it’s a fact of life that we all need little extra help as we get older. This doesn’t mean you’re not relevant. 71% of 5575 year olds have smartphones now. Retirees are travelling more, using Facebook and a quarter are actively dating. Retirement has become a time to embrace new challenges and fulfil long-awaited experiences. None of that changes just because you have difficulty bathing. It’s very common for people only to seek help with their bathroom as a result of a fall, accident or nearmiss. Should you wait that long, or are there changes you could make now?

Changes to your home don’t need to look unsightly either. Just because you’re adding grab rails or a raised toilet in your bathroom for example, doesn’t mean it will look like a hospital bathroom. You could see it as an opportunity to refresh and update one of the most important rooms of your house. Updating your bathroom with AHM We guide you through the whole process of updating your bathroom, at your pace. If you’re in immediate need of a solution, we do our best to make it happen quickly. If you prefer taking time to think through the options, that’s fine too. We’re a small, family-run firm with a background in caring and mobility, so we’re flexible and we know what it’s like. We visit customers at home, for free, to get a full understanding of their needs and there’s always a real person at the end of the phone. “To be able to speak to the same person when calling the office… was very important to me and you dealt with my queries very efficiently.” Mrs Pearce We don’t employ salesmen. Our experienced surveyors visit you to discuss your needs. We also pride ourselves in employing courteous and trustworthy fitters to install every bathroom. “Not only have they done a great job, but they have been so kind to my mum who is very fragile both physically and emotionally at the moment.” Margot We use specialist bathing products which come with a manufacturer’s warranty, plus our own 12-month installation warranty. In the last 20 years, we’ve never had anyone say they didn’t like their bathroom. In fact, people often send us letters and emails to say how much they love what we’ve done. “I am extremely pleased with my bathroom. It exceeds expectations!” Angela If you’re ready to seek help with your bathroom, call us on 01480 275559.
