    Excellent product solution

    The contrast of the blue on white improves the visibility and perception of the toilet area, making it easier to see and use and is a great product solution for nursing homes, retirement villages and hospitals as well as in the home.

    Making life easier

    As people age, a number of changes commonly occur which can deteriorate vision. Incorporating colour into the design of the bathroom has physical benefits which can make life easier. Colour can be used to differentiate objects and improve basic visual functioning.

    Commenting on the new blue Care range, Caroma Dorf Care Category Manager, Phoebe Bourke said, “It is widely acknowledged in the aged care industry that the vision impaired and people with Dementia form a significant proportion of their clientele.

    Dementia is the largest cause of disability in older Australians and is likely to be the third largest source of health and aged care spending within two decades. Therefore, the design of the bathroom and other facilities are an important consideration.”

    “Our new blue seats and flush buttons in addition to our full Caroma Dorf Care range are designed to help address the needs associated with aged care and disabled applications. The colour contrast of the blue range makes toilet suites easier to see and provides users with confidence.” she added.

    As our population rapidly ages, the subject of care becomes an important issue. Having appropriate care facilities is vital. Caroma Dorf leads the way in bathroom innovation offering specialised solutions designed to make life easier regardless of age, illness or disability. Our emphasis is on practical application and stylish sophistication. The Caroma Dorf Care range has been created to help mature Australians remain independent and stay in their own homes longer along with products designed to be installed to meet AS1428.1‐2001 requirements for publicly accessible buildings.
