Context
On the ground floor of my house I have two bathrooms, but neither of them is adapted to my disability:
spaces too small to accommodate a caregiver
Access impossible with a wheelchair
inability to carry out transfers and provide care safely
organization unsuitable for care procedures
This situation makes toileting:
dangerous
physically demanding for the caregiver
uncomfortable and stressful for me
This is not very compatible with dignified and secure care.

Project objective
The goal is to create a single, larger, and more functional bathroom by merging two existing bathrooms, in order to:
to allow a caregiver to intervene under good conditions
to facilitate transfers (chair → shower → chair)
reduce the risk of falls and injuries
improve the working conditions of the caregiver
to guarantee hygiene care in a safe and dignified environment
Planned work
The proposed changes are:
demolition of the partition wall separating the two bathrooms
creation of a unique, large and accessible space
installation of a walk-in shower allowing wheelchair access
Sufficient space for a caregiver
non-slip flooring
washbasin adapted for care
faucets accessible to the caregiver
complete reorganization of the plumbing and electrical systems
Access adaptations (doors, thresholds)
