Toilet Solutions for Elderly & Disabled Users
Accessible toilet solutions designed to make sitting, standing and personal hygiene easier, including powered toilet lifters and wash-and-dry bidet toilets.
Finding the Right Toilet Solution for You
Using the toilet independently can become more difficult for many different reasons. You may find it harder to lower yourself onto a standard toilet or stand up again, feel less steady when transferring, or struggle with reaching, twisting and personal hygiene.
The right accessible toilet can reduce some of that effort and help you feel safer, more comfortable and more confident using the bathroom.
At Living Well Bathrooms, we provide specialist toilet solutions for elderly and disabled people and those living with reduced mobility. From powered toilet lifters that gently support sitting and standing to bidet toilets with automatic washing and drying, we’ll help you find a solution designed around the difficulties you’re experiencing.
What Are You Finding Difficult?
Different toileting problems need different solutions, which is why we start by understanding what you are struggling with rather than simply recommending a product.
✓ Difficulty sitting down or standing up
A standard toilet can feel very low if you have reduced leg strength, painful joints or difficulty transferring. A powered toilet lifter such as EasiLoo can gently support the movement between sitting and standing, reducing the physical effort required.
✓ Difficulty reaching or cleaning yourself
Reduced shoulder movement, arthritis, poor balance or limited dexterity can make personal hygiene difficult. A wash-and-dry bidet toilet provides warm-water cleansing and drying at the touch of a button, reducing the need to reach or twist.
✓ Needing more support and stability
The correct toilet height, supportive features and carefully planned bathroom layout can make transfers feel safer and more controlled.
✓ Wanting to remain independent for longer
The right toilet adaptation can reduce the need to rely on another person for intimate personal care, helping protect dignity, privacy and confidence at home.
Our Accessible Toilet Solutions
We offer specialist toilet solutions designed around different mobility and personal hygiene needs.
EasiLoo Powered Toilet Lifter
If sitting down or standing up from the toilet is becoming difficult, EasiLoo provides powered support through the movement.
Rather than simply increasing the height of the toilet, the lifting mechanism helps guide the user between sitting and standing, making it particularly useful for people with reduced leg strength, painful joints or changing mobility.
Bidet & Wash-Dry Toilets
If reaching, wiping or maintaining personal hygiene independently has become difficult, a bidet toilet can provide warm-water washing and drying without the need for excessive reaching or twisting.
Depending on the model, additional features can include heated seating, adjustable wash settings, remote controls and other comfort functions.

We Will Guide You
You don’t need to know which product you need before contacting us. During your free home visit, we’ll talk through the difficulties you’re experiencing and recommend the solution that best supports your individual needs.
Why Can a Standard Toilet Become Difficult to Use?
Standard toilets aren’t designed around reduced mobility. For someone living with arthritis, painful joints, reduced strength or poor balance, lowering onto a toilet and rising again can require considerable effort.
Personal hygiene can also become challenging if reaching behind, twisting or maintaining balance is difficult.
Accessible and disabled toilet solutions can help address these different needs through appropriate height, powered lifting support, washing and drying functions and carefully positioned controls.
The aim isn’t simply to change the toilet. It’s to make one of the most private parts of everyday life feel safer, easier and more dignified.
Designed to Support Independence and Dignity
Needing help in the bathroom can feel very personal. We understand that choosing an accessible toilet isn’t simply about equipment, it’s about privacy, dignity and being able to manage everyday routines with as much independence as possible.
Our team will listen to the difficulties you’re experiencing, explain the available options clearly and help you choose a solution suited to your mobility, bathroom and future needs, without pressure to proceed.

Professional Installation and Support
Specialist toilets often require more than simply swapping one toilet for another. Depending on the product, installation may involve plumbing, electrical requirements, positioning, available space and assessing how the user transfers on and off the toilet.
Our experienced team will assess your bathroom and discuss options to suit your physical ability and daily routine during your free home visit. We’ll then provide a clear quotation and design (if being installed as part of a full bathroom refit) before any work begins.
Once installed, we’ll show you how the controls and features work so you feel confident using your new toilet solution.

FAQs
What is the best toilet for an elderly person?
There isn’t one toilet that is right for every older person. The best solution depends on the difficulty being experienced. Someone who struggles to sit or stand may benefit from a powered toilet lifter such as the EasiLoo while someone who finds personal hygiene difficult may benefit more from a wash-and-dry bidet toilet. A home assessment can help determine the most appropriate option.
What is a bidet toilet?
A bidet toilet combines a conventional toilet with built-in washing functions. Warm water cleans the user after toileting and many models also provide warm-air drying, reducing the need to reach and wipe manually.
How do bidet toilets improve hygiene?
A bidet toilet uses water to cleanse after toileting and can provide warm-air drying afterwards. This reduces the amount of reaching and wiping required and can help people manage personal hygiene more independently.
What is a toilet lifter?
A toilet lifter such as the EasiLoo is a powered toileting aid designed to support the movement between sitting and standing, easing the transition from standing to sitting and back again. It can be particularly useful for people with reduced leg strength, balance, painful joints or difficulty rising from a standard toilet.
Is a toilet lifter better than a raised toilet seat?
This is entirely dependent on what the user needs. A raised toilet increases the sitting height but does not actively help a person stand. A powered toilet lifter such as the EasiLoo provides controlled assistance through the sitting and standing movement, which may be more appropriate for people who need greater support.
Are smart toilets suitable for elderly users?
Yes. Features such as warm-water washing, drying, heated seating and accessible controls can make personal hygiene easier for people who have difficulty reaching, twisting or using toilet paper independently.
Can I have a bidet toilet and a toilet lifter together?
Depending on your needs and the available space, combined solutions may be available. Our EasiLoo Plus model combines powered lifting support with wash-and-dry toilet functions for people who require help with both transfers and personal hygiene.
Can you install an accessible toilet in my existing bathroom?
In many cases, yes. Suitability depends on the existing toilet position, plumbing, electrical requirements, available space and the individual user’s transfer needs. We assess these during the free home survey before recommending a solution.
Do bidet toilets require a lot of maintenance?
No, most smart bidet toilets are designed to be low maintenance, with self-cleaning nozzles and durable components. Regular cleaning and simple servicing will keep them working effectively for years.
Do specialist toilets qualify for VAT relief?
Depending on the customer’s circumstances and the product or adaptation supplied, qualifying disability-related equipment and bathroom adaptations may be eligible for VAT relief. Our team can explain the requirements and provide the appropriate declaration where applicable.
